A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less

than the height of the prism. The length of the base must be 6 meters more than the width of the base. Find the maximum height of the prism.
Let x = the height of the prism
x – 9 = the width of the base
A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less than the height of the prism. The length of the base must be 6 meters more than the width of the base. Find the maximum height of the prism.
Let x = the height of the prism
x – 9 = the width of the base
x -3 = the length of the prism

Select the inequality that represents the problem.

x2 – 3 x – 81 ≤ 0

x2 – 3 x – 27 ≤ 0

x2 – 12 x – 27 ≤ 0

x2 – 12 x ≤ 0

Answer: Choice D) x^2 - 12x \le 0

The base has length x-3 and width x-9 which multiplies out to (x-3)(x-9) = x^2-12x+27

This area must be 27 square meters or less, so we set that expression less than or equal to 27

x^2-12x+27 \le 27

then we subtract 27 from both sides to get the final answer

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at time t its position is given by s(t) = (t + 1)(t - 3)3, t > 0. /p>For what va
Zepler [3.9K]

Given the position function, the velocity function is obtained by taking the derivative:

s(t)=(t+1)(t-3)^3\implies v(t)=(t-3)^3+3(t+1)(t-3)^2

The velocity is increasing its own derivative is positive, so we also have to find the acceleration by taking another derivative:

a(t)=4(t-3)^3+3(t-3)^2+6(t+1)(t-3)

To find when a(t)>0, we first need to know where a(t)=0:

4(t-3)^3+3(t-3)^2+6(t+1)(t-3)=(t-3)\bigg(4(t-3)^2+3(t-3)+6(t+1)\bigg)=(t-3)(4t^2-15t+33)=0

The quadratic factor is always positive (its discriminant is negative), which leaves one solution at t=3. To either side of t=3, we have, for instance,

a(2)=-12

a(4)=36>0

which indicates that v(t) is increasing for t>3, making the answer A.
