From a thin piece of cardboard 40 in by 40 in, square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box. what
dimensions will yield a box of maximum volume? what is the maximum volume?
1 answer:
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
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:
The unknown number is
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make the unknown number x.
The sum of 5 TIMES a number (x) & 8 is 9.
Let's write it mathematically.
5x + 8 =9
We are trying to find the unknown number, so let's remove all the numbers from the left side to find x. Minus 8.
5x=1
5x is basically 5 times x, so to find x, we need to divide and from there we can remove 5.
x=
