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

2, 2 1/2, 1 1\2, 2 whats the next number in the series
DedPeter [7]
<h3>Answer:  1</h3>

Explanation:

The jump from 2 to 2&1/2 is an increase of 1/2

2 + 1/2 = 2 & 1/2

The jump from 2 & 1/2 to 1 & 1/2 is a decrease of 1

(2 & 1/2) - 1 = (2 - 1) & 1/2 = 1 & 1/2

The jump from 1 & 1/2 to 2 is an increase of 1/2

(1 & 1/2) + 1/2 = 1 + (1/2 + 1/2) = 1 + 1 = 2

The pattern seems to be "add 1/2, subtract 1". Assuming this is the case, we would then subtract 1 from the last term we got (2) to get 2-1 = 1
