Answer:

The volume in such a package is 27648 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Postal regulations specify that a parcel sent by priority mail may have a combined length and girth of no more than 144 in.

Let the dimension are x by x by y.

Where x is the variable for the square base package and y is the variable for length.

Thus l=x, b=x and h=y

Then the volume of the box is: V(x)=x^2y (∵V=lbh)

The maximum combined length and girth is 144.

Therefore, 4x+y=144

y=144-4x

Substitute the value of y in volume of the box.

V(x)=x^2(144-4x)

V(x)=144x^2-4x^3

V'(x)=288x-12x^2

Substitute V'(x)=0.

0=288x-12x^2

12x(24-x)=0

x=0\ or\ x=24

Now apply second derivative test.

V''(x)=288-24x

V''(0)=288-24(0)>0 (Min)

V''(24)=288-24(24) (Max)

Hence, the maximum volume is at x=24

If x=24 then y=144-4(24)=48

Substituting value of x = 24 and y = 48 V(x)=x^2y gives 27648.

Hence, the volume in such a package is 27648 in³

Rewrite 3x+5y=11 and -5x+7y=9 in slope intercept form
chubhunter [2.5K]

Problem 1

subtract 3 x

5y=-3x+11

divide 5

y=3/5x+2.2'

Problem 2

add 5x

7y=5x+9

divide 7

y=5/7x+1.3'

'notice'

you can put 2.2 into a fraction (11/5) and 1.3 (9/7) if your teacher allows it, but i put them into decimals
