Let the side length of each of the squares cut out be x inches.

The volume of the box will be:-
V =  x(19 - 2x)(11 - 2x) 
V = x( 209 - 38x - 22x + 4x^2)
V = x(209 - 60x + 4x^2)
V = 209x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
For maximum/minimum  volume we find the derivative and equate to zero:-
dV/dx =  209 - 120x + 12x^2 = 0
solving for x:-

x = 7.75 , 2.25
For  maximum volume  evaluate the second derivative:-
d^2V/dx^2 =  24x - 120

for x = 2.25  second derivative =  24(2.25) - 120 = -66  so x = 2.25 gives a maximum volume.

Answe:-  r the dimensions of the squares  is 2.25 * 2.2.5 inches

To answer this problem, we can use the power rule such that the result of the operations of the powers on the left side is equal to power on the right side. In this case, the right side's power is 200. On the left side, the tentative sum is 60 - 18 or equal to 42. Thus, the remaining exponent to be added on the left side is 158. Answer is x^158

You have 2+2 in each 2 there are 1's so

4=1+1+1+1
2+2=4
think of 2's as 1's when adding did you know 2x2= 4 as well.

A cockroach traveling 2 feet per second takes how long to scurry a distance of 46 feet?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

23 Seconds

The roach is going 2 feet per second so you can split the amount of feet in half because he will go the same distance 2 times as fast.
