Step-by-step explanation:
Graph of x=5 is vertical straight line parallel to y-axis and perpendicular to x-axis. The points on graph have the x-coordinate as 5 and y-coordinate varies.
Similarly, line parallel to x=5 or y-axis passing through point (-6,6), in that all the points have same x-coordinate as -6. So the equation of line will be x=-6
For simplicity of visualization graph of both the equation x=5 and x=-6 are attached.
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
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
