Packaging By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting fl

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length: 12 inches

Width: 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the side length of the square

The height of the box by cutting squares off :x

The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)

The new volume of it is:

V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x

<=> V = $4x^3 -44x^2 +105x$

To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume

$\dfrac{dV}{dx} = 0$

<=> $12x^2-88x+105=0$

<=> $\left(2x-3\right)\left(6x-35\right) = 0$

<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0

<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6

To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate

$\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}$ = 24x -88

If x = 3/2, we have:

$\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}$ = 24(3/2) -88 = -52

If x = 35/6, we have:

$\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}$ = 24(35/6) -88 = 52

We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.

So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches

Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches

How do you solve the inequality 6y+3> -18x

Alex17521 [72]

$6y + 3 \ \textgreater \ - 18 x$

Subtract 3 from both sides:

$6 y + 3 - 3 \ \textgreater \ - 18 x - 3$

$6y \ \textgreater \ - 18 x - 3$

Dividade both sides by 6 :

$\frac{6y}{6} \ \textgreater \ \frac{-18x-3}{6}$

$y \ \textgreater \ \frac{-18x-3}{6}$

hope this helps!

Given that Cosecant (t) = negative StartFraction 13 Over 5 EndFraction for Pi less-than t less-than StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 En

Sergio [31]

Answer:

$\bold{cot(t) =\dfrac{12}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$Cosec (t) = -\frac{13}5$

for $\pi < t < \frac{3 \pi}2$

That means, angle $t$ is in the 3rd quadrant.

To find:

Value of cot(t)

Solution:

First of all, let us recall what trigonometric ratios are positive and what trigonometric ratios are negative in 3rd quadrant.

In 3rd quadrant, tangent and cotangent are positive.

All other trigonometric ratios are negative.

Let us have a look at the following identity:

$cosec^2\theta -cot^2\theta =1$

here, $\theta =t$

So, $cosec^2t-cot^2t=1$

$\Rightarrow (-\dfrac{13}{5})^2-cot^2t=1\\\Rightarrow (\dfrac{169}{25})-cot^2t=1\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{169}{25}-1=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{169-25}{25}=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{144}{25}=cot^2t\\\Rightarrow cot(t)=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{144}{25}}\\\Rightarrow cot(t)=\pm\dfrac{12}{5}$

But, angle $t$ is in 3rd quadrant, so value of

$\bold{cot(t) =\dfrac{12}{5}}$

6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3)

jolli1 [7]

If you would like to calculate 6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3), you can do this using the following steps:

6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3x+3)
6/(x+1)-5/2=6/(3(x+1)) /*(x+1)
6 - 5/2 * (x+1) = 6/3
6 - 2 = 5/2 * (x+1)
4 = 5/2 * (x+1) /*2/5
4 * 2/5 = x + 1
8/5 - 1 = x
x = 8/5 - 5/5 = 3/5

The correct result would be 3/5.
