Answer:

x = 10 - 10sqrt(3)/3

Approximately 4.2265 cm

Volume = 1539.6 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height be x

V = (20 - 2x)(40 - 2x)x

V = (800 - 80x - 40x + 4x²)x

V = 4x³ - 120x² + 800x

dV/dx= 12x² - 240x + 800 = 0

3x² - 60x + 200 = 0

x = [60 +/- sqrt(60² - 4(3)(200))]/6

x = [30 +/- 10sqrt(3)]/3

x = 10 +/- 10sqrt(3)/3

Approximately,

15.7735 and 4.2265

d²V/dx² = 24x - 240

For max, d²V/dx² < 0

So, x = 4.2265

V = (20 - 2x)(40 - 2x)x

Plug in x = 10 - 10sqrt(3)/3

V = 1539.600718

What’s x Pythagorean triples
nadezda [96]
We have to find x and x is the hypotenuse. We use this formula:

hyp²=side²+side²

So:

hyp²=side²+side²

hyp²= 12²+9²

hyp²= 225

hyp²= √225

hyp= 15

Therefore, the hypotenuse is 15 and x is 15.

A pair of jeans that originally costs $42 is 25% off.Find the sale price.ASAP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon25 [30]
Original Price = $42
Discount = 25%   ---------> 25% is discount because it says 25% <span><u />off!!!</span>
Now,
Sale price = original price - discount % of original price  
                 = 42 - 25% of 42 
                 = 42 - (25/100) * 42   
                 = 42 - 0.25 * 42 
                 = 42 - 10.5 
                 = 31.5

So, the sale price is $31.5

How do you solve -2(6x+3)=-27–5x ?
kvasek [131]
Hi!

Our goal is to isolate x on one side by doing the same operation on both sides.

First let's use the distribution property.
-2 x 6 = -12
-2 x 3 = -6
-12x - 6 = -27 - 5x

Add 6 to both sides
-12x - 6 + 6 = -27 + 6 - 5x
-12x = -21 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides
-12x + 5x = -21 - 5x + 5x
-7x = -21

Divide by -7 on both sides
-7x/-7 = -21/-7
x = 3

The answer is x = 3

Hope this helps! :)
