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}

A blimp, suspended in the air at a height of 600 feet, lies directly over a line from a sports stadium to a planetarium. If an a
Molodets [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

so, this sounds like the blimp is located between the stadium and the planetarium.

we have a triangle :

the ground distance between the stadium and the planetarium is the baseline.

and the 2 lines of sight from the blimp on one side to the stadium and on the other side to the planetarium are the 2 legs.

we know the height of this triangle is 600 ft.

the angle of depression down to the stadium is 37°. which makes the inner triangle angle at the ground point at the stadium also 37°.

and the angle of depression down to the planetarium is 29°. which makes the inner triangle angle at the ground point at the planetarium also 29°.

and because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know the angle at the blimp is

180 - 37 - 29 = 114°

in order to solve this triangle, we need to split it into 2 right-angled triangles by using the height of the main triangle as delimiter.

we get a stadium side and a planetarium side triangle.

the baselines (Hypotenuses) of the 2 triangles are the corresponding lines of sight from the blimp.

the height of the large triangle is also a height and a leg in each small triangle.

and the stadium side part of the large baseline (between ground point and intersection with the height) is the second leg for the stadium side triangle.

and correspondingly, the planetarium side part of the large baseline (between ground point and intersection with the height) is the second leg for the planetarium side triangle.

the inner blimp angle of the stadium side triangle is

180 - 37 - 90 = 53°

and the inner blimp angle of the planetarium side triangle is

180 - 29 - 90 = 61°

now we can use the law of sine to get the lengths of the 2 parts of the baseline of the large triangle.

and when we add these 2 numbers we get the distance between stadium and planetarium.

law of sine is

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with the sides being opposite of the associated angles.

for the stadium side triangle we get

part1/sin(53) = 600/sin(37)

part1 = 600×sin(53)/sin(37) = 796.226893... ft

for the planetarium side triangle we get

part2/sin(61) = 600/sin(29)

part2 = 600×sin(61)/sin(29) = 1,082.428653... ft

the distance between the stadium and the planetarium is

part1 + part2 = 1,878.655546... ft

Find the center of a circle with the equation: x2 y2−32x−60y 1122=0 x 2 y 2 − 32 x − 60 y 1122 = 0
mixas84 [53]

The equation of a circle exists:

$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) be the center.

The center of the circle exists at (16, 30).

<h3>What is the equation of a circle?</h3>

Let, the equation of a circle exists:

$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) be the center.

We rewrite the equation and set them equal :

$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 - r^2 = x^2+y^2- 32x - 60y +1122=0

$x^2 - 2hx + h^2 + y^2 - 2ky + k^2 - r^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 32x - 60y +1122 = 0

We solve for each coefficient meaning if the term on the LHS contains an x then its coefficient exists exactly as the one on the RHS containing the x or y.

-2hx = -32x

h = -32/-2

⇒ h = 16.

-2ky = -60y

k = -60/-2

⇒ k = 30.

The center of the circle exists at (16, 30).
