A sheet of paper 90 cm-by-66 cm is made into an open box (i.e. there's no top), by cutting x-cm squares out of each corner and f

olding up the sides. Find the value of x that maximizes the volume of the box. Give your answer in the simplified radical form. x =?? is the max.

Answer:

26 - \sqrt{181} cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = height * length * width

V = x*(66 - 2*x)*(90 - 2*x)

V = (66*x - 2*x^2)*(90 - 2*x)

V = 5940*x - 132*x^2 - 180*x^2 + 4*x^3

V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

where x is the length of the sides of the squares,  in cm.

The mathematical problem is :

Maximize: V = 4*x^3 - 312*x^2 + 5940*x

subject to:

x > 0

2*x < 66 <=> x < 33

In the maximum, the first derivative of V, dV/dx, is equal to zero

dV/dx = 12*x^2 - 624*x + 5940

From quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{(-624)^2 - 4(12)(5940)}}{2(12)}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{104256}}{24}

x = \frac{624 \pm \sqrt{2^6*3^2*181}}{24}

x = \frac{624 \pm 8*3*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_1 = \frac{624 + 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_1 = 26 + \sqrt{181}

x_2 = \frac{624 - 24*\sqrt{181}}{24}

x_2 = 26 - \sqrt{181}

But x_1 > 33, then is not the correct answer.

1.) Let's say that the circle on the graph below represents x. The arrow is pointing to all the numbers greater than x, which happens to be on -2. If it points right, this means that x can equal to any number greater than -2. So your answer is x > -2.

2.) For inequalities such as these, you can simplify just like what you do for normal equations. Let's isolate x.

x - 7 > 10

--> x > 10 + 7

---> x > 17

3.) 3x \leq 21

--> \frac{3x}{3} \leq  \frac{21}{3}

---> x \leq 7

4.) 5a - 2 < 18

--> 5a < 18 + 2

---> 5a < 20

----> \frac{5a}{5} < \frac{20}{5}

-----> a < 4

5.) 2t + 8 \geq -4(t + 1)

--> 2t + 8 \geq -4t - 4

---> 2t + 4t \geq -8 - 4

----> 6t \geq -12

-----> t \geq -2

Answer:

Part A: 0

Part B: (-1,-1) since point (-1,1) is located in quadrent four when it is reflected over the y axis the second point would be located in quadrent three and the x and y would both be negative.
