Suppose an airline policy states that all baggage must be box shaped with a sum of​ length, width, and height not exceeding 114

in. What are the dimensions and volume of a​ square-based box with the greatest volume under these​ conditions?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the length of one side of the base be s and the height by h.  Then the volume of the box is V = s^2*h; this is to be maximized.

The constraints are as follows:  2s + h = 114 in.  Solving for h, we get 114 - 2s = h.

Substituting 114 - 2s for h in the volume formula, we obtain:

V = s^2*(114 - 2s), or V = 114s^2 - 2s^3, or V = 2*(s^2)(57 - s)

This is to be maximized.  To accomplish this, find the first derivative of this formula for V, set the result equal to 0 and solve for s:

dV

----- = 2[(s^2)(-1) + (57 - s)(2s)] = 0 = 2s^2(-1) + 114s - 2s^2

ds

Simplifying this, we get dV/ds = -4s^2 + 114s = 0.  Then either s = 28.5 or s = 0.

Then the area of the base is 28.5^2 in^2 and the height is 114 - 2(28.5) = 57 in

and the volume is V = s^2(h) = 46,298.25 in^3

A certain drug is made from only two ingredients: compound A and compound B. There are 5 milliliters of compound A used for ever
ale4655 [162]
<h3>Answer:    410 mL </h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

The ratio of A to B is 5:3

Multiply both parts by x to get 5x:3x

We need 5x parts of A and 3x parts of B

Adding those parts should get us 656 mL total

A+B = total

5x+3x = 656

8x = 656

x = 656/8

x = 82

Therefore, we need 5x = 5*82 = 410 mL of compound A

Also, we need 3x = 3*82 = 246 mL of compound B

In total, we have A+B = 410+246 = 656 mL which helps confirm the answer.

-----------

Side note: The ratio  410:246 reduces to 5:3 after dividing both parts by 82.

What is the value of x?

The median has the property of being equal to 1/2 the length of the 2 parallel lines in a trapezoid. In this case. 1/2 [(x + 8) + (5x + 4)] = 24 There is your equation. Now all you have to do is solve it.

1/2 (x + 8 + 5x + 4) = 24 I've removed the inner brackets.
1/2 (6x + 12) = 24 Gathered like terms.
(6x + 12) = 24*2 Multiplied both sides by 2
6x + 12 = 48 removed the brackets.
6x = 48 - 12 subtracted 12 from both sides.
6x = 36 Divide by 6
x = 36/6
x = 6
