Consider rectangular box with

  • length x units (x≥0);
  • width 3 units;
  • height (8-x) units (8-x≥0, then x≤8).

The volume of the rectangular box can be calculated as

V_{box}=\text{length}\cdot \text{width}\cdot \text{height}.

In your case,  

V_{box}=3\cdot x\cdot (8-x).

Note that maximal possible value of the height can be 8 units (when x=0 - minimal possible length) and the minimal possible height can be 0 units (when x=8 - maximal possible length).

From the attached graph you can see that the greatest x-intercept is x=8, then the height will be minimal and lenght will be maximal.

Then the volume will be V=0 (minimal).

Answer: correct choices are B (the maximum possible length), C (the minimum possible height)

algol [13]
It would be 10m.
If you divide 25 by 2.5 you get 10, and since we’re using velocity, that’s what we would do.

Simplify the expression<br> (C^4/3 x b^1/2)^-3
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3 b 11 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3 b 1 2 ⋅ b 4 3

Move  

b 4 3 . 3 ( b 4 3 b 1 2 )

Use the power rule  

a m a n = a m + n

to combine exponents.

3 b 4 3 + 1 2

To write  

4 3

as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by  

2 2 . 3 b 4 3 ⋅ 2 2 + 12

To write  1 2

as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by  

3 3 . 3 b4 3 ⋅ 2 2 + 1 2 ⋅ 3 3

Write each expression with a common denominator of  

6

, by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of  

1 .

Tap for more steps...

3 b 4 ⋅ 2 6 +3 6

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

3 b 4 ⋅ 2 + 3 6

Simplify the numerator.
