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}

Match each irrational number line on which it is represented 2.18112... 2.1823912 2.364125 2.1829391321
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The number lines to make selection from are missing from the question.

<em>However, I've attached 4 number lines, each of which represents each of the given irrational numbers (see attachment)</em>

<em></em>

<u>Number: 2.1823912</u>

This is represented by number line 1

Each point of number line 3 is 0.001 units starting from 2.18;

The point which the red dot is located is between 2.182 and 2.183, but the dot is closer to 2.182.

<em>2.1823912 and 2.1829391321 satisfy this property but number line 2 represents 2.1829391321 (see below for explanation)</em>

So: 2.1823912 is represented by number line 1

<u></u>

<u>Number: 2.1829391321</u>

This is represented by number line 2.

Each point of number line 3 is 0.0001 units starting from 2.182;

The point which the red dot is located is between 2.1829 and 2.1830, but the dot is closer to 2.1829.

From the list of given numbers, only 2.1829391321 satisfy this property.

<em />

<u>Number: 2.18112...</u>

This is represented by number line 3.

Each point of number line 3 is 0.01 units starting from 2.11;

The point which the red dot is located is between 2.18 and 2.19.

If number lines 1 and 2 represent 2.1823912 and 2.1829391321, respectively, then number line 3 represents 2.18112.

<u></u>

<u>Number: 2.364125 </u>

This is represented by number line 4.

Each point on this number line is 0.1 unit starting from 2.0;

The point which the red dot is located is between 2.30 and 2.40. From the list of given numbers, only 2.364125  satisfy this property.
