A box designer has been charged with the task of determining the surface area of various open boxes (no lid) that can be constru

cted by cutting four equal-sized surface corners from an 8-inch by 11.5 inch sheet of cardboard and folding up the sides.
1. Determine a function that relates the total surface area, s, (measured in square inches) of the open box to the size of the square cutout x (measured in inches).
2. What is the domain and range of the function s?
3. What is the surface area when a 1" x 1" square is cut out?
4. What size square cutout will result in a surface area of 20 in?
5. What is the surface area of the box when the volume is maximized? (Calculator)

Answer:

1) S = 2\cdot w\cdot l - 8\cdot x^{2}, 2) The domain of S is 0 \leq x \leq \frac{\sqrt{w\cdot l}}{2}. The range of S is 0 \leq S \leq 2\cdot w \cdot l, 3) S = 176\,in^{2}, 4) x \approx 4.528\,in, 5) S = 164.830\,in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The function of the box is:

S = 2\cdot (w - 2\cdot x)\cdot x + 2\cdot (l-2\cdot x)\cdot x +(w-2\cdot x)\cdot (l-2\cdot x)

S = 2\cdot w\cdot x - 4\cdot x^{2} + 2\cdot l\cdot x - 4\cdot x^{2} + w\cdot l -2\cdot (l + w)\cdot x + l\cdot w

S = 2\cdot (w+l)\cdot x - 8\cdpt x^{2} + 2\cdot w \cdot l - 2\cdot (l+w)\cdot x

S = 2\cdot w\cdot l - 8\cdot x^{2}

2) The maximum cutout is:

2\cdot w \cdot l - 8\cdot x^{2} = 0

w\cdot l - 4\cdot x^{2} = 0

4\cdot x^{2} = w\cdot l

x = \frac{\sqrt{w\cdot l}}{2}

The domain of S is 0 \leq x \leq \frac{\sqrt{w\cdot l}}{2}. The range of S is 0 \leq S \leq 2\cdot w \cdot l

3) The surface area when a 1'' x 1'' square is cut out is:

S = 2\cdot (8\,in)\cdot (11.5\,in)-8\cdot (1\,in)^{2}

S = 176\,in^{2}

4) The size is found by solving the following second-order polynomial:

20\,in^{2} = 2 \cdot (8\,in)\cdot (11.5\,in)-8\cdot x^{2}

20\,in^{2} = 184\,in^{2} - 8\cdot x^{2}

8\cdot x^{2} - 164\,in^{2} = 0

x \approx 4.528\,in

5) The equation of the box volume is:

V = (w-2\cdot x)\cdot (l-2\cdot x) \cdot x

V = [w\cdot l -2\cdot (w+l)\cdot x + 4\cdot x^{2}]\cdot x

V = w\cdot l \cdot x - 2\cdot (w+l)\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot x^{3}

V = (8\,in)\cdot (11.5\,in)\cdot x - 2\cdot (19.5\,in)\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot x^{3}

V = (92\,in^{2})\cdot x - (39\,in)\cdot x^{2} + 4\cdot x^{3}

The first derivative of the function is:

V' = 92\,in^{2} - (78\,in)\cdot x + 12\cdot x^{2}

The critical points are determined by equalizing the derivative to zero:

12\cdot x^{2}-(78\,in)\cdot x + 92\,in^{2} = 0

x_{1} \approx 4.952\,in

x_{2}\approx 1.548\,in

The second derivative is found afterwards:

V'' = 24\cdot x - 78\,in

After evaluating each critical point, it follows that x_{1} is an absolute minimum and x_{2} is an absolute maximum. Hence, the value of the cutoff so that volume is maximized is:

x \approx 1.548\,in

The surface area of the box is:

S = 2\cdot (8\,in)\cdot (11.5\,in)-8\cdot (1.548\,in)^{2}

S = 164.830\,in^{2}

Solve for x.<br><br> 4 | x - 7 | + 2 | x - 7 | = 12
miv72 [106K]

Answer: x = 9, 5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

4 | x - 7 | + 2 | x - 7 | = 12

6 | x - 7 | = 12      <em>added like terms</em>

  | x - 7 | = 2       <em>divided both sides by 6</em>

x - 7 = 2         or         x - 7 = -2     <em>removed absolute value sign</em>

    x = 9         or               x = 5     <em>added 7 to both sides of both equations</em>

In the barn, there are horses and chickens. There are 11 heads and 32 legs altogether. How many chickens are there?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

6 Chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  H represent the number of horses and  C represent the number of chickens. Since there are 32 legs altogether this means that on equation to use would be given by:

2C  +  4 H  =  32     (Eq. 1)

Another equation can be made from the fact that there are 11 heads or 11 animals altogether which can be written as:

C  +  H  =  11    (Eq. 2)

From Eq. 2, solve for the number of chickens:

C  +  H  =  11

C   =  11  - H    (Eq. 3)

Substituting Eq. 3 in Eq. 1, the number of horses can be determined:

2 C  +  4 H  =  32

2 ( 11  −  H )  +  4 H  =  32

22   −  2 H  +  4 H  =  32

2H  =  32  − 22

2 H  = 10

H = 5               Eq.4

Putting Eq.4 in Eq.1

2C + 4*5 =  32

2C = 32 - 20

2C = 12

C = 12/2

C = 6

If f(x)=x^2+3x+4 which of the number choices represents (f(x+h)-f(x))/h?
Helen [10]

In case you're not already aware, the expression \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h is called the "difference quotient" and represents the average rate of change of a function f over an interval [x,x+h].

For the function f(x)=x^2+3x+4, by substituting x+h we get

f(x+h)=(x+h)^2+3(x+h)+4=(x^2+2xh+h^2)+(3x+3h)+4=x^2+3x+4+(2x+3)h+h^2

Then the difference quotient is

\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h=\dfrac{(x^2+3x+4+(2x+3)h+h^2)-(x^2+3x+4)}h

=\dfrac{(2x+3)h+h^2}h=2x+3+h

where the last equality holds as long as h\neq0.
