An open box is made from a square piece of cardboard 30 inches on a side by cutting identical squares and turning up the sides.

A) express the volume of the box as V, as a function of the length of the side of the square cut from each corner, x. B) Find and interpert V(3), V(4), V(5),V(6),V(7). What is happening to the volume of the box as th elength of the side of the square cut from each corner increases? C) Find the domain of V

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The length of the box is 30 − 2x inches.

The width of the box is 30 − 2x inches.

The height of the box is x inches.

So the volume is:

V = x (30 − 2x)²

B)

V(3) = 3 (30 − 6)² = 1728

V(4) = 4 (30 − 8)² = 1936

V(5) = 5 (30 − 10)² = 2000

V(6) = 6 (30 − 12)² = 1944

V(7) = 7 (30 − 14)² = 1792

As x increases, the volume of the box increases to a maximum and then decreases.

C)

The ends of the domain occur when V = 0.

0 = x (30 − 2x)²

x = 0 or 15

So the domain is (0, 15).

A rectangle has a height 3z and a width of 2x-3<br><br> Express the area of the entire rectangle.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

3z(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle, a = height * width

height, h = 3z

width, w = 2x - 3

a = 3z * (2x -3)

expand

a = 6xz - 9z

a = 3z(2x - 3)

The number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn is approximated by the following function:
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S(x) = -x^{3}+2\cdot x^{2}+405\cdot x +4965, for 6 \leq x \leq 20. x represents the temperature of the water, measured in degrees Celsius, and S is the number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn, dimensionless.

We compute the first and second derivatives of the function:

S'(x) = -3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 (Eq. 1)

S''(x) = -6\cdot x +4 (Eq. 2)

Then we equalize (Eq. 1) to zero and solve for x:

-3\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x +405 = 0

And all roots are found by Quadratic Formula:

x_{1} \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C, x_{2}\approx -10.971\,^{\circ}C

Only the first root is inside the given interval of the function. Hence, the correct answer is:

x \approx 12.305\,^{\circ}C

Now we evaluate the second derivative at given result. That is:

S''(12.305) = -6\cdot (12.305)+4

S''(12.305) = -69.83

According to the Second Derivative Test, a negative value means that critical value leads to a maximum. In consequence, the water temperature that produces the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream is approximately 12.305 degrees Celsius.

Is anyone good with triangle inequalities? I provided a picture for the problem.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1 < x < 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Inequality Theorem

Let y and z be two of the side lengths of a triangle. The length of the third side x cannot be any number. It must satisfy all the following restrictions:

x + y > z

x + z > y

y + z > x

Combining the above inequalities, and provided y>z, the third size must satisfy:

y - z < x < y + z

We are given the measures y=10, z=9. The third side must satisfy:

10 - 9 < x < 10 + 9

1 < x < 19

HURRY I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! A circle is drawn within a square as shown.
Anton [14]
The width of the square is 7 cm. This is also the diameter of the circle.

To find the area of the square, you do 7², which is 49 cm². 

To find the area of a circle, you do πr².

The radius is half the diameter, so it's 7 ÷ 2, which is 3.5 cm.

π3.5² ≈ 38.4845100065 cm².

The shaded region is the area of the square minus the area of the circle.  

49 - 38.4845100065 = <span>10.5154899935, but because you're using 3.14 to approximate pi, the closest answer is 10.54 cm</span>².

The answer is 10.54 cm².
