Question:

You work for a cereal company as a box designer. Your job is to find the dimensions of a box. The volume of the box is given by the following:

v(x)=8·x³-108·x²+360·x

Answer:

a. To hold the largest possible volume, the length, height, and width are;

Length, l of the box = 10.583

Width, w of the box = 3.791

Height, h of the box = 8.835

b. The x intercepts are;

x = 0

x = 15/2

x = 6

The intercept represents the points of the function at which the volume of the box change from negative to negative and back to positive

c. The domain range is all real numbers, that is from -∞ to +∞

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the volume V(x) = 8·x³ - 108·x² + 360·x, we have fo maximum volume;

\frac{\mathrm{d} \left (8\cdot x^{3} - 108\cdot x^{2} + 360\cdot x  \right )}{\mathrm{d} x}= 0

Therefore. 24·x² - 216·x + 360 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we have

(2·x - (9 - √21))(2·x - (9 + √21))

Therefore, x = (9 - √21)/2 or x = (9 + √21)/2

P

Therefore, from the v(x) equation we have by factorizing;

v(x) = 8·x³ - 108·x² + 360·x = 4·x·(2·x - 15)·(x - 6)

Plugging the possible values of x for maximum v(x), we obtain

For x = (9 - √21)/2, v(x) = 354.468

For x = (9 + √21)/2, v(x) = -30.468

Hence the for maximum v(x), x = (9 - √21)/2

The sides are thus;

4·x·(2·x - 15)·(x - 6)

Where:

4·x = 8.835

\left |2\cdot x - 15  \right | = 10.583

\left | x - 6\right | = 3.791

The length, l of the box = 10.583

The width, w of the box = 3.791

The height, h of the box = 8.835

b. The factorization of the polynomial gives;

v(x) =  4·x·(2·x - 15)·(x - 6)

Therefore, the x intercepts are;

x = 0

x = 15/2

x = 6

The intercept represents the points of the function at which the volume of the box will be positive, hence the possible values of the dimensions

c. The domain of the function v(x) = 8·x³ - 108·x² + 360·x (which is a polynomial without variables or radicals as the denominator) is the set of all real numbers from -∞ to ∞.

What's the answer????
lara [203]

Answer:

Graph B

This is because of the vertical line test. Say you were to draw a vertical line that stretches through the whole graph. If this line you draw passes through more than two points of the same line/function/whatever b is, it is not a function.

200 3. A technician charges $25 per hour plus $50 for a house call to repair home computers. Make a table and a graph to show th
Tju [1.3M]

Recall that for a home visit, the technician charges $50 regardless on the time spent in the repair.

So, to find out the rate, we should calculate the part that depends on the spent time, and the add 50. So for example, we know that the technician spents 1 hour. So, we multiply 1 times 25 and then add 50. So, 25*1 + 50 = 75, which is the rate for a 1-hour repair.

So, in general, if we know that the number of hours is x, we multiply x times 25 and then add 50. Then a table would like this:

x 25*x 25*x +50

1 25 75

2 50 100

3 75 125

4 100 150

Note that as the time increases by one hour, the fare increases by 25. This is an example of a direct variation, since as the independent variable increases (t

In-s [12.5K]

Based on the information given her commission check is $1,689.8.

Using this formula

Commission check=Commission earned× Sales

Where:

Commission earned=0.6% or 0.006

Sales=$281,634

Let plug in the formula

Commission check= 0.006×$281,634

Commission check=$1,689.8

Inconclusion  her commission check is $1,689.8.
