Answer:

V(max) =  8712.07 in³

Dimensions:

x (side of the square base)  = 16.33 in

girth   = 65.32 in

height = 32.67 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x  = side of the square base

h = the height of the postal

Then according to problem statement we have:

girth = 4*x     (perimeter of the base)

and

4* x  +  h  = 98  (at the most)   so   h = 98 - 4x  (1)

Then

V = x²*h

V = x²* ( 98 - 4x)

V(x) = 98*x² - 4x³

Taking dervatives (both menbers of the equation we have:

V´(x)  =  196 x   -  12 x²        ⇒   V´(x) = 0

196x - 12x²  = 0   first root of the equation  x = 0

Then   196 -12x = 0      12x = 196     x = 196/12

x = 16,33 in      ⇒    girth = 4 * (16.33)       ⇒ girth = 65.32 in

and from equation (1)

y = 98 - 4x       ⇒  y = 98 -4 (16,33)

y = 32.67 in

and maximun volume of a carton V is

V(max) = (16,33)²* 32,67

V(max) = 8712.07 in³

What is the fourth term in the binomial expansion (a+b)^6)
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

20a^3b^3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Binomial Series</u>

(a+b)^n=a^n+\dfrac{n!}{1!(n-1)!}a^{n-1}b+\dfrac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}a^{n-2}b^2+...+\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}a^{n-r}b^r+...+b^n

<u>Factorial</u> is denoted by an exclamation mark "!" placed after the number. It means to multiply all whole numbers from the given number down to 1.

Example:  4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

Therefore, the fourth term in the binomial expansion (a + b)⁶ is:

\implies \dfrac{n!}{3!(n-3)!}a^{n-3}b^3

\implies \dfrac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}a^{6-3}b^3

\implies \dfrac{6!}{3!3!}a^{3}b^3

\implies \left(\dfrac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!3 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!2 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!1}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!3 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!2 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!1}\right)a^{3}b^3

\implies \left(\dfrac{120}{6}\right)a^{3}b^3

\implies 20a^3b^3
