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)=8x^3-108x^2+360


a. Use a graphing calculator to determine the length, width, and height of the box so it will hold the largest possible volume.


b. Factor the polynomial completely to find the x-intercepts of the graph. In context of this problem, what do the intercepts represent?


c. What is the domain and range for the box?

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 ∞.

if an exterior angle of a triangle has a measure of 35 degrees, what is the measure of the adjacent interior angle?
Alona [7]

Answer:

145

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent interior angle = x

Sum of exterior angle and adjacent interior angle = 180

35 + x = 180

x = 180 - 35

x = 145

Determine if the function is one-to-one.<br><br>​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

From what I saw on google for what "one to one" means, It's basically meaning that the bottom of that quadratic function is at point (0 , 0) and hits both (-1 , 1) and (1 , 1) on the graph.

Which calculations perform on the calculator will yelled in answer that is approximately the same as 76 ÷ 19/25? Check all that
Zinaida [17]

first:76 ÷ 19/25=100

a:80 / 20 * 1 / 25 =0.16

b:80 * 5/4 =100

c:80 / 5 ÷ 1 / 4 =64

d:80 * 5/4 =100

e:80 * 4/5 ​=64

So I think both B and D should be the right answer
