By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting flaps, an op

en box may be made. If the cardboard is 15 in. long and 7 in. wide, find the dimensions (in inches) of the box that will yield the maximum volume. (Round your answers to two decimal places if necessary.) smallest value in in largest value in

Answer:

Length l = 15 - 2x = 15 - 2(1.5) = 12.00 in

Breadth b = 7 - 2x = 7 - 2(1.5) = 4.00 in

Height h = x = 1.50 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a box can be written as;

V = l×b×h

Where;

Length = l

Breadth = b

Height = h

Let x represent the length of the cube cut out of the four edges.

Using the attached image;

Length l = 15 - 2x

Breadth b = 7 - 2x

Height h = x

Substituting the values to the volume equation;

V = (15-2x)(7-2x)(x)

V = 105x - 30x^2 - 14x^2 + 4x^3

V = 105x - 44x^2 + 4x^3

At Maximum volume, V' = dV/dx = 0

V' = 105 - 88x + 12x^2 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we have;

x = 5.83 or x = 1.50

x cannot be 5.83 since 2x > 7 (greater than the breadth of cardboard)

Therefore ;

Length l = 15 - 2x = 15 - 2(1.5) = 12.00 in

Breadth b = 7 - 2x = 7 - 2(1.5) = 4.00 in

Height h = x = 1.50 in

Given the replacement set {2, 3, 4, 5}, solve 7x – 4 = 3x + 8.
Ludmilka [50]
7x-4=3x+ 8

-3x of both sides 4x-4=8
plus 4 to both sides 4x=12

12 divide by 4 = 3

While shopping at Walmart, I had the option to buy either a 12 pack of Soda for $13, or I could buy a 24 pack for $24. Based on
ira [324]

Answer:

The 24 pack for 24 dollars!

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you see that 12 is 1/2 of 24 and if you do 13x2 you get 26$ so for the 12 pack if you double it you will be paying 2$ more than if you got the OG 24 pack

Goryan [66]
We are given the graph of sine function.
First, we get the amplitude
A = [6 - (-2)] / 2
A = 4

Next, we determine the period and b
T = 4 - 0 = 4
b = 2π / T
b = π/2

The original sine function was
y = 4 sin πx/2

After the transformation, the equation now is
y = 4 sin [π(x+2)/2] + 2
