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.

Find the volume of the sphere. express your answer in term of Pie​
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

\large\boxed{36\pi}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a sphere:

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3

R - radius

We have R = 3 ?. Substitute

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(3^3)=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(27)=(4)\pi(9)=36\pi

If the radius is 30, then the volume is:

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(30^3)=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(27,000)=(4)\pi(9,000)=36,000\pi

If 30 is the length of diameter, then the radius R = 30 : 2 = 15.

Therefore the volume:

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(15^3)=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(3,375)=(4)\pi(1,125)=4,500\pi

The coordinates of the vertexes of a triangle are A(3,3) B(6,6) C(9,3). What will be the new coordinates after a dilation
yuradex [85]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation by 3 from origin causes each point to be multiplied by 3.

(3,3) * 3 = (9, 9)

(6, 6) * 3 = (18, 18)

(9, 3) * 3 = (27, 9)

which is A

. A retailer buys pants at $22.00 and sells them for $26.40 The percent of markup on cost is 50 percent. 13 percent. 20 percent.
lana [24]
22     = 100%
26,40 = x%

26,4*100/22=120%
x=120%

120%-100%=20%
The answer is 20%
