N = x/y because its in the middle
For the answer to the question above,
1. If we let x as the side of the square cut-out, the formula for the capacity (volume) of the food dish is:
V = (12 - 2x)(8 - 2x)(x)
V = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
To find the zeros, we equate the equation to 0, so, the values of x that would result to zero would be:
x = 0, 6, 4
2. To get the value of x to obtain the maximum capacity, we differentiate the equation, equate it to zero, and solve for x.
dV/dx = 96 - 80x + 12x^2 = 0
x = 5.10, 1.57
The value of x that would give the maximum capacity is x = 1.57
3. If the volume of the box is 12, then the value of x can be solved using:
12 = 96x - 40x^2 + 4x^3
x = 0.13, 6.22, 3.65
The permissible value of x is 0.13 and 3.65
4. Increasing the cutout of the box increases the volume until its dimension reaches 1.57. After that, the value of the volume decreases it reaches 4.
5. V = (q -2x) (p - 2x) (x)
Compensation for the year:$51,810(deducting vehicle expense)
An employee makes 48,700+1,530(health insurance)+2,810(paid time)=
53,040. Also they receive 0.53 per mile x 9,000 miles=4,770
53,040 +4,770=57,810(employment compensation)
Personal work vehicle expense: 500 x 12 months=6,000
57,810 - 6,000= 51,810
