Answer:

Width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem...

3x = length

x = width

2(3x + x) = 72

3x+x = 36

4x = 36

x = 9 = width

Hope that helped!!! k

What is the maximum volume in cubic inches of an open box to be made from a 12-inch by 16-inch piece of cardboard by cutting out
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

If you start with a 12x16 rectangle and cut square with side length x, when you bend the sides you'll have an inner rectangle with sides 12-2x and 16-2x, and a height of x.

So, the volume will be given by the product of the dimensions, i.e.

(12-2x)(16-2x)x = 4x^3-56x^2+192x

The derivative of this function is

12x^2-112x+192

and it equals zero if and only if

12x^2-112x+192=0 \iff x = \dfrac{14\pm 2\sqrt{13}}{3}

If we evaluate the volume function at these points, we have

f\left(\dfrac{14-2\sqrt{13}}{3}\right) = \dfrac{64}{27}(35+13\sqrt{13})> f\left(\dfrac{14-2\sqrt{13}}{3}\right) = -\dfrac{64}{27}(13\sqrt{13}-35)

So, the maximum volume is given if you cut a square with side length

x=\dfrac{14-2\sqrt{13}}{3}\approx 2.7

What is the quotient in the polynomial form?
Oxana [17]

First step of a synthetic divison is that we need to carry down the leading coefficient. Here the leading coefficient is 2. So, carry down 2 at the bottom.

Next step is to multiply the divisor -3 with this carry down number 2. So, we have got 3*(-2)= -6 which will place atthe bottom of the next coefficient 4.

Next step is to add this column.

Now repeat the same method again till the last colum.

At the end we have got 0 after the addition. Which means the remainder is 0.

So, the quotient is 2x^2-2x+2.

10. Which equation could be used to solve the problem? Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in one hour. At that rate, how many bushe
Ratling [72]
The answer would be B. b = 8 * 4. If Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in an hour and the question wants to know how many bushels could be picked in 8 hours, its basically asking how many bushels are in 8 groups of 4.
