Answer:

V(max) = 1872.42 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  " x " the side of the cut square in each corner, then the sides of rectangular base ( L  and  W )will be

L  =  41 - 2*x       and

W =  22 - 2*x             x = the height of the open box

Volume of the box is

V(b)  =  L*W*x

And volume of the box as a function of x is:

V(x)  =  ( 41 - 2*x ) * ( 22 - 2*x ) * x

V(x) = ( 902 -82*x - 44*x  + 4*x² ) * x   ⇒  V(x) = ( 902 -126*x + 4x²) * x

V(x) =  902*x  - 126*x² +  4x³

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

V´(x) = 902  -  252*x + 12 *x²

V´(x) = 12*x²  -  252*x  + 902

V´(x) =  0         ⇒      12*x²  -  252*x  + 902  = 0

A second degree equation solving for x (dividing by 2 )

6*x²  - 126* x  + 451  = 0

x₁,₂  = ( 126 ± √  15876 - 10824 ) / 12

x₁,₂  = (  126  ±  71,08 ) / 12

x₁  =  16 in   ( we dismiss this value since 2x  > than 22 there is not feasible solution for the problem)

x₂ =  54.92/12       ⇒   x₂ =  4,58 in

Then maximum volume is:

V(max) = 31.84 * 12.84 * 4,58

V(max) = 1872.42 in³

Let f(x)=x2+15x+56
Ivan

Answer:

-8, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2+15x+56

0 =x^2+15x+56

What two numbers multiply together to make 56 and add together to 15

7*8 = 56

7+8=15

0 = (x+8) (x+7)

Then use the zero product property

x+8 =0     x+7 =0

x+8-8 =0-8        x+7-7 =0-7

x=-8                      x=-7

A scale drawing of a school bus has a scale of 1/2 inch to 5feet. If the length of the school bus is 4 1/2 inches on the scale d
Sedaia [141]
Answer: actual length = 45 ft

Explanation:

Scale drawn:

1/2 inch = 5ft

Meaning that if the drawing scale is 0.5 inch then the actual bus would be 5ft.

If the length of the drawn school bus is 4 1/2 inches. We can write:

1/2 = 5
4 1/2 = x

=> x = (5 x 4 1/2)/1/2
Or x = (5 x 4.5)/0.5
x = 22.5/0.5
x = 45

Therefore the actual length of the bus is 45 ft

Two dressmakers, Sue and Anne, sewed costumes for a local theater production. Sue sewing alone for 10 hours sewed some of the co
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Sue would have taken 15 hours to sew all the costumes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 10 hours, Sue sewed 5 costumes (1 every 2 hours).

Sue= 5 costumes

Sue sewed in 10 hours, twice as many costumes as Anne in 16 hours. Then 5 is twice costumes than Anne produced. Therefore, Anne sewed 2.5 costumes.  

Anne: 2.5 costumes  

In total they had to sew 5+2.5= 7.5 costumes. Then Sue would have taken 7.5*2= 15 hours to sew them all.
