Answer:

t = -d/50 + 2

0.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

d = 50 - 100t

The inverse function:

A.) solving for t

d = 100 - 50t

d - 100 = - 50t

Divide both sides by - 50

d/-50 - (100/-50) = - 50t/-50

-d/50 - (-2) = t

t = -d/50 + 2

B) using the inverse function:

t = -d/50 + 2

Miles driven (d) = 75, find time (t)

t = - 75/50 + 2

t = - 1.5 + 2

t = 0.5

t is in hours, therefore time left to travel is 0.5 hours or 30 minutes

B = 54°, b=15, c= c = ? (Round answers to the nearest hundredth.)

zaharov [31]

Answer:

18.54

Step-by-step explanation:

sine is opposite/hypotenuse, and you have opposite (b=15), so use that

sin(54) = 15/c

c = 15/sin54

then use calculator

c = 18.54

A manufacturer wants to make open tin boxes from pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in. by cutting equal squares from the

Stells [14]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the side of square.

Length of box=8-2x

Width of box=15-2x

Height of box=x

Volume of box= $L\times B\times H$

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of box=V(x)= $(8-2x)(15-2x)x=(15x-2x^2)(8-2x)$

$V(x)=120x-30x^2-16x^2+4x^3$

$V(x)=4x^3-46x^2+120x$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$V'(x)=12x^2-92x+120$

$V'(x)=0$

$12x^2-92x+120=0$

$3x^2-23x+30=0$

$3x^2-18x-5x+30=0$

$3x(x-6)-5(x-6)=0$

$(x-6)(3x-5)=0$

$x-6=0\implies x=6$

$3x-5=0\implies x=\frac{5}{3}$

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$V''(x)=24x-92$

Substitute x=6

$V''(6)=24(6)-92=52>0$

Substitute x=5/3

$V''(5/3)=24(5/3)-92=-52$

Hence, the volume is maximum at x= $\frac{5}{3}$

Therefore, the side of the square , $x=\frac{5}{3}$ in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.
