Answer:
I don't see all the options for #76, but the shape is a parallelogram.
Let x represent the side length of the square end, and let d represent the dimension that is the sum of length and girth. Then the volume V is given by
V = x²(d -4x)
Volume will be maximized when the derivative of V is zero.
dV/dx = 0 = -12x² +2dx
0 = -2x(6x -d)
This has solutions
x = 0, x = d/6
a) The largest possible volume is
(d/6)²(d -4d/6) = 2(d/6)³
= 2(108 in/6)³ = 11,664 in³
b) The dimensions of the package with largest volume are
d/6 = 18 inches square by
d -4d/6 = d/3 = 36 inches long
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Represent trees with T and wreaths with W
Given


Solving (a): Cost of W
Substitute 3 + 4 * W for T in the second equation


Collect Like Terms


Divide through by 6


Hence, each wreath costs $16
Solving (b): Cost of T

Substitute 16 for W



Hence, each tree costs $67
Answer:
Approximately 7.8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula:

From the graph, we can see that A is (0,0). Let's let this be x₁ and y₁.
B is (-5,6). Let's let this be x₂ and y₂. So, substitute:

Simplify:

Square:

Add:

Take the square root. Use a calculator:

So, the distance between them is about 7.8 units.
And we're done!
