If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.
The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.
Answer:
a) g(x) = f(x) + 3
So g(x) is a vertical translation of f(x), 3 units upwards
b) g(x) = 3x² - 1 + 3
g(x) = 3x² + 2
The graph has shifted 3 units upwards, so has the vertex.
The vertex of f is (0,-1)
Whereas the vertex of g is (0,2)
-1 + 3 = 2
6 feet because 8 / 12 reduces to 2 / 3 and you multiply 2 times 3
First, you should combine the x terms:
-3x - 7 = 29
Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.
-3x = 22
Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.
x = -22/3 or -7.33
