Volume function: v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi)
Since the perimeter of the piece of sheet metal is 36, the height of the tube created will be 36/2 - x = 18-x.
The volume of the tube will be the area of the cross section multiplied by the height. The area of the cross section will be pi r^2 and r will be (x-1)/(2pi). So the volume of the tube is
v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)/(2pi))^2
v(x) = (18-x)pi((x-1)^2/(4pi^2))
v(x) = ((18-x)(x-1)^2)/(4pi)
The maximum volume will happen when the value of the first derivative is zero. So calculate the first derivative:
v'(x) = (x-1)(3x - 37) / (4pi)
Convert to quadratic equation.
(3x^2 - 40x + 37)/(4pi) = 0
3/(4pi)x^2 - (10/pi)x + 37/(4pi) = 0
Now calculate the roots using the quadratic formula with a = 3/(4pi), b = -10/pi, and c = 37/(4pi)
The roots occur at x = 1 and x = 12 1/3. There are the points where the slope of the volume equation is zero. The root of 1 happens just as the volume of the tube is 0. So the root of 12 1/3 is the value you want where the volume of the tube is maximized. So the answer to the nearest tenth is 12.3</span>
Answer:
c is the correct answer
2(2x+4)<6(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
<span> A line that never changes, so you can choose whatever two points you want and you will always get the same slope.

- What is the solution to the inequality -3x-42>3 ?


Add 42 to both sides.

Add 3 and 42 to get 45.

Divide both sides by -3. As -3 is <0, the inequality direction has changed.

Divide 45 by -3 to get -15.

To simplify this, you would have to turn b^-2 into a positive exponent.
To do this, we have to flip b^-2, which would get rid of the negate from the exponent: -2
3a^4 b^-2 c^3 / b^-2
Then we get the answer:
3a^4 c^3
------------
b^-2
I have a picture to clarify!
I hope this helped, let me know if you don't understand! ^.^
