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

-BARSIC- [3]

No. The area of a square/rectangle is length * height, and 4 * 20 is 80m^2. Because Yoshi has a can of paint that can cover 81m^2, and 81m^2 > 80m^2, Yoshi does NOT need to buy more paint.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

x = -175

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

h(x) = -25

h(x) = 1/5x + 10

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

-25 = 1/5x + 10

-35 = 1/5x

x = -175

The data set shows the number of practice free throws players in a basketball competition made and the number of free throws the
Mila [183]

Answer-

The exponential model best fits the data set.

Solution-

x = input variable = number of practice throws

y = output variable =  number of free throws

Using Excel, Linear, Quadratic and Exponential regression model were generated.

The best fit equation and co-efficient of determination R² are as follows,

Linear Regression  

Quadratic Regression

Exponential Regression

The value of co-efficient of determination R² ranges from 0 to 1, the more closer its value to 1 the better the regression model is.

Now,

Therefore, the Exponential Regression model must be followed.
