The dimensions of the square base after cutting the corners will be (40-2x). The depth of the box will be x, so its volume is given by
  V = x(40-2x)²

You can differentiate this to get
  V' = 12x² -320x -1600
Setting this to zero and factoring gives
  (3x-20)(x-20) = 0
The appropriate choice of solutions is
  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3

The dimensions of the box of maximum volume are
  26 2/3 in square by 6 2/3 in deep

The maximum volume is
  (80/3 in)²(20/3 in) = 4740 20/27 in³

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5x^3 +1, g(x) = – 2x^2, and h(x) = - 4x^2 – 2x +5

f(-8) = 5(-8)^3 +1 = 5 *(-512) +1 =-2560+1 =-2559

g( -6) = -2 ( -6) ^2 = -2 ( 36) = -72

h(9) = -4( 9)^2 -2(9) +5 = -4 ( 81) -18+5 = -324-18+5=-337

Simplify 12 to the 3rd over 12 to the 7th.
Ganezh [65]

\dfrac{12^3}{12^7}=\dfrac{12^3}{12^3\cdot 12^4}=\dfrac{12^3}{12^3}\cdot \dfrac{1}{12^4}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{12^4}

The 2nd choice is appropriate.

A classmate said that AB & DC are complementary and parallel based on the diagram below. Explain your classmate's error. Not
Ugo [173]

Your classmate's error about AB and DC being complimentary and parallel is that they misapplied the alternate angle property.

<h3>Why are AB and DC not parallel?</h3><h3 />

There isn't enough evidence presented in the diagram to say that AB and DC are parallel.

The evidence required would be proof that angle AWZ is equal to angle WZY.

Instead, all we have is that  angle AWZ and angle XYC are equal which does not tell us what we need to know about AB and DC being parallel.
