A 24-centimeter by 119-centimeter piece of cardboard is used to make an open-top box by removing a square from each corner of th

e cardboard and folding up the flaps on each side. What size square should be cut from each corner to get a box with the maximum volume

Answer:

The size square removed from each corner = 32.15 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box = Length * Breadth * Height

Let r be the size  removed from each corner

Note that at maximum volume, \frac{dV}{dr} = 0

The original length of the cardboard is 119 cm, if you remove a  size of r (This typically will be the height of the box)  from the corner, since there are two corners corresponding to the length of the box, the length of the box will be:

Length, L = 119 - 2r

Similarly for the breadth, B = 24 - 2r

And the height as stated earlier, H = r

Volume, V = L*B*H

V = (119-2r)(24-2r)r

V = r(2856 - 238r - 48r + 4r²)

V = 4r³ - 286r² + 2856r

At maximum volume dV/dr = 0

dV/dr = 12r² - 572r + 2856

12r² - 572r + 2856 = 0

By solving the quadratic equation above for the value of r:

r = 5.67 or 42

r cannot be 42 because the  size removed from the corner of the cardboard cannot be more than the width of the cardboard.

Note that the area of a square is r²

Therefore, the size square removed from each corner = 5.67² = 32.15 cm²

I try to look this up and people said yes or no I just need a straight answer
Anna11 [10]

start inside the square root, replace X with -7.

-7 + 11 = 4

The number 4 comes out of the square root as 2.

Now there's a minus factor out there. Let's multiply this negative factor by 2 and get -2.

Now let's add -2 and -3.

Our output is -5.

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5). Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

⟨-5, -1⟩

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector:

A vector is given by its endpoint subtracted by its initial point.

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5)

Then

u = (-7, 5) - (3,9) = (-7 - 3, 5 - 9) = (-10,-4)

Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at (6, –1).

Then

v = (6,-1) - (1,-4) = (6-1,-1-(-4)) = (5,3)

What is u + v in component form?

u + v = (-10,-4) + (5,3) = (-10+5,-4+3) = (-5,-1)

⟨-5, -1⟩ is the answer.
