Answer:

The approximate value of w that maximize the volume

V = -w³ + w² + 20w

is w = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism is given by the formula:

V = Bh

B is the base, and

B = lw

Where l is the length of the rectangle, and w is the width.

B = w(w + 4)

= w² + 4w

V = Bh

= (w² + 4w)(5 - w)

= 5w² - w³ + 20w - 4w²

V = -w³ + w² + 20w

To obtain the approximate value of w that maximizes the volume, let us solve:

-w³ + w² + 20w = 0

w(-w² + w + 20) = 0

w = 0

Or

-w² + w + 20 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

w = [-b±√(b² - 4ac)]/2a

Where a = -1, b = 1, and c = 20.

w = {-1 ±√[(1 - 4(1)(20)]}/2(-1)

= (-1 ±√25)/(-2)

= 1/2 ± -5/2

w = 1/2 + 5/2

= -4/2 = -2

w = 1/2 - 5/2

= 6/2 = 3

Now we have the following values for w.

w = 0 or -2 or 3

The maximum of these is 3, and it is what we are looking for.

A box contains 5 red balls, 6 white balls and 9 black balls. Two balls are drawn at
valina [46]

Answer:

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red = 5

White = 6

Black = 9

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

Total = 5 + 6 + 9

Total = 20

This is calculated as:

P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)

So, we have:

P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1}  + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}

P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380}  + \frac{72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Solve for c: <br> 12 - 9 + c = 12
enyata [817]

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - 9 + c = 12

-9 + c = 12 - 12

- 9 + c = 0

Therefore c = 9

Hope this helps.!

Please answer this question.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

B) 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

principal = 220000

First two years 10% paid.

.10 x 220000 = 22000

220000-22000 = 198000

x = percent

x = \frac{New -Old}{Old}

x = \frac{170000-198000}{198000}

x = -.1414

Round to .14

14% is the difference in amounts.

The principal (198000) will need to be reduced 14% to equal 170000
