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}

The sum of three consecutive integers is 198. What are the​ integers?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The sum of three consecutive integers for 198 are <em>65, 66, and 67</em>

Definition of "INTEGERS"

1.  a whole number; a number that is not a fraction.

2. a thing complete in itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

198 = x + x + 1 + <em>x + 2</em>

combine like numbers

198 = 3x + 3

subtract 3 from like numbers (in this case)

198 - 3 = 3x + 3 - 3

195 = 3x

divide by 3

195/3 = 3x/3

65 = x

x + 1 = 65 + 1  ---66

x + 2 = 65 +2  --67

if you want to buy a shirt that cost 18.99 but you have 20% off coupon and the tax is 7%. how much does the shirt cost
dusya [7]

20% off means you pay 80% of the price so you multiply by 0.8, and 7% tax means you multiply by 1.07

Resulting cost = 18.99*0.8*1.07 = 16.26

Hope this helps let me know if im wrong!
