A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

=(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

=(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

$x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18$

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, $V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100$

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Given A(3, 4), B(4, 3) and C(2, 1), what are the coordinates of C', the image of C under a rotation of 90 degrees about the orig

Aleks [24]

<u>Given</u>:

The coordinates of the points A, B and C are (3,4), (4,3) and (2,1)

The points are rotated 90° about the origin.

We need to determine the coordinates of the point C'.

<u>Coordinates of the point C':</u>

The general rule to rotate the point 90° about the origin is given by

$(x, y) \Rightarrow(-y, x)$

Substituting the coordinates of the point C in the above formula, we get;

$(2, 1) \Rightarrow(-1, 2)$

Therefore, the coordinates of the point C' is (-1,2)

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

1/10 or 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

99 possible numbers starting from 10

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 does not count

99-9=90

90 numbers total

possible numbers with a 0: 9

9/90 = 1/10 = 10%

Further mathematics: Find the derivative of the function x^2 y + (xy)^3 +3x=0 at (-1 , 3)

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Implicit differentiation:

x^2 y + (xy)^3 + 3x = 0

x^2 y + x^3y^3 + 3x = 0

Using the product rule:

2x* y + x^2*dy/dx + 3x^2 y^3 + x^3* (d(y^3)/dx) + 3 = 0

2xy + x^2 dy/dx + 3x^2 y^3 + x^3* 3y^2 dy/dx + 3 = 0

dy/dx(x^2 + 3y^2x^3) = (-2xy - 3x^2y^3 - 3)

dy/dx= (-2xy - 3x^2y^3 - 3) / (x^2 + 3y^2x^3)

At the point (-1, 3).

the derivative = (6 - 81 - 3)/(1 -27)

= -78/-26

= 3.
