Answer:

Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of  500 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume =  height x length x width

considering 'x' as the length of the square corners that has been cut out from the cardboard and also, that is height of the cardboard box.

square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box, cardboard sides would reduce by 2x

therefore,

V = x  (30-2x) (30-2x) ---> eq(1)

V=( 30x - 2x²) (30-2x)

V= 900x- 60x² - 60x² + 4x³

V=  4x³ - 120 x²+ 900x

Taking derivative w.r.t 'x'

dV/dx = 12x² - 240 x +900

dV/dx = 4 (3x² - 60x +225)

For maximum dV/dx, make it equal zero

dV/dx = 0

so,  4 (3x² - 60x +225)=0

3x² - 60x+225=0   (taking 3 common)

x² - 20x + 75 =0

Solving this quadratic equation

x² - 15x -5x + 75 =0

x(x-15) - 5(x-15) =0

Either (x-15)=0

x=15

Or x-5=0

x = 5

if we substitute x=15 in eq(1), volume becomes zero.

therefore, x cannot be 15

When x= 5

eq(1)=>V = 5  (30-2(5)) (30-2(5))

V= 5 (10) (10)

V= 500 cubic inches,

Therefore, Dimensions 5in x 10in x 10in will yeild a box with a max. volume of  500 cubic inches

What is the inverse of the function shown( in the form of a graph)
NemiM [27]

Answer:

y =  - 1x + b

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of a slope is the exact opposite slope of the original. I'll show a function below where you can easily solve future problems if you need to.

-  \frac{1}{m} x

m is the slope, so for the equation above, you simply insert the original slope, being 1, in the equation.

-  \frac{1}{1} x \\  - 1x

So the inverse slope would be -1.

3x+3y+2(2x-y) equivalent fractions to this problem
Anastaziya [24]
Distribute the 2 into the 2x and -y

Then add “like terms” which are 3x and 4x... 3y and -2y

Which then becomes 7x+y

There are no more “like terms” so that is your final answer
