A box with an open top will be constructed from a rectangular piece of cardboard. The piece of cardboard is 10 inches wide and 1

4 inches long. The box will be constructed by cutting out equal squares of side x at each corner and then folding up the sides. What is the appropriate domain for the function V(x) that gives the volume of the box as a function of x?

Answer:

Domain of the function is  { x : x∈R, x>0 } or (0,∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the dimensions of a rectangular piece of cardboard are

Length = 14 inch

Width = 10 inch

The box will be constructed by cutting out equal squares of side x at each corner and then folding up the sides. So the dimensions of the box are

Length = 14-2x inch

Breadth = 10- 2x inch

Height = x inch

The volume of cuboid box is

V=length\times breadth \times height

The volume function of the box is

V=(14-2x)\times (10-2x)\times x

V=(14-2x)(10-2x)x

The volume function is V=(14-2x)(10-2x)x.

It is a polynomial function and domain of a polynomial function is all real numbers.

Here, x represents the height of the box. So, value of x must be a positive real number.

Domain of the function is

Domain = { x : x∈R, x>0 }

It can be written as (0,∞).

Therefore, domain of the function is  { x : x∈R, x>0 } or (0,∞).

How do you check your answer for volume of a cylinder? Desperate need of answering
murzikaleks [220]
1. Make sure you're using the correct formula for the dimensions given. The usual formula gives volume in terms of radius and height. If you are given the diameter, the formula will be different, or you need to compute the radius before you use the formula.

2. Make sure you're using the appropriate value for π. Many calculators have the value built-in. Many problems posted on Brainly require the use of 3.14, which will give different answers. (One recent problem required the use of 3.) If your calculator doesn't have π built in, a reasonable value is 355/113, which is good to 7 significant figures.

3. Make sure the units you are using are compatible (generally, all the same). If your height is in one unit (say inches) and your diameter is in another unit (say centimeters), you need to do units conversion before you put the numbers in the formula. The result of putting your units in the formula with your numbers should be that you end up with units cubed. For example, for a radius of 2 cm and a height of 3 cm, the volume will be
.. V = π(2cm)^2*(3 cm) = 12π cm^3.

4. Compare the dimensions and the volume to things you know. You know the approximate size of a gallon jug, a 2 liter pop bottle, a 5-gallon bucket. Check your answer for reasonableness.

5. Make an estimate based on the dimensions. Round to 1 or 2 significant figures and make a guess as to the approximate result you should get. For this, you can use 3 for π, as you just want to be "somewhere in the ballpark" as opposed to being off by a factor of 10 or more. This requires a certain amount of number sense and knowledge of multiplication tables.

6. Make certain your calculator is being used correctly. If parentheses are involved, make sure you enter the closing parentheses--as opposed to letting the calculator put them in according to its own rules. If division or fractions are involved, make sure you have parentheses around the denominator in every case. 1/2*3 ≠ 1/(2*3) It can be helpful to use a calculator that shows you what it did. (The Google calculator does that, for example.)

7. Sometimes, it helps just to do the calculation twice (possibly in a different order). Inadvertent error can creep in even when you think you're paying attention.

8. If you're doing the math by hand, make use of all available techniques for checking your arithmetic.

According to the empirical (69-95-99.7) rule, if a random variable z has a standard normal distribution, then approximately 95%
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Using z-scores, it is found that the value of z is z = 1.96.

-----------------------------

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula, which for a measure X, in a distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, is given by:  

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
  • Each z-score has an associated p-value, which is the percentile.

  • The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that the middle 95% is between the <u>2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile</u>.
  • The 2.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.025, thus Z = -1.96.
  • The 97.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.975, thus Z = 1.96.
  • Thus, the value of Z is 1.96.

pantera1 [17]

Isolate the w. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

Add 3π to both sides

- 3π (+3π) + w = 2π (+3π)

w = 2π + (3π)

w = 5π

w = 5π is your answer

hope this helps
