Answer:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 12 inches
Width: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the side length of the square
The height of the box by cutting squares off :x
- The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
- The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
The new volume of it is:
V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x
<=> V =
To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume
<=>
<=>
<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0
<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6
To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate
= 24x -88
- If x = 3/2, we have:
= 24(3/2) -88 = -52
- If x = 35/6, we have:
= 24(35/6) -88 = 52
We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.
So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches
Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches
Answer:
The other rational number in the operation given is:
- <u>6/5</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the number in the operation given, we're gonna represent the operation:
- r * 15/14 = 9/7
Where:
- r = the other rational number.
Now we are going to solve r to identify its value in numbers:
- r * 15/14 = 9/7
(We pass a number that is multiplying to the left of the equal, to divide to the right of the equal symbol)
As you can see, when we operate, <u>the result is 6/5</u>, and we can prove this multiplying as we had in the original equation, replacing r by 6/5:
- r * 15/14 = 9/7
- 6/5 * 15/14 = 9/7
- 9/7 = 9/7
In this form, we know the result is correct.
