Answer:

She should cut 1.21 inches (or a square of area 1.46 inch²) from 4 corners to get the maximum volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = L = 10 inches

Width = W = 6 inches

Suppose x is cut from the 4 corners to make a box.

Dimensions of the Box:

L= 10 - 2x

W = 6 - 2x

H = x

Volume of the Box:

V = (L)(W)(H)

V = (10-2x)(6-2x)(x)

V = 4x³ -  32x² + 60x

For Maximum value:

\frac{dV}{dx}=0

\frac{dV}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(4x^3-32x+60x)\\\frac{dV}{dx}=12x^2-64x+60\\12x^2-64x+60 = 0

The values of x found are:

x= 4.12 , x = 1.21

If we put x= 4.12 in W= 6-2x , the value of width becomes negative, so that is not possible.

We discard 4.12. Now x=1.21

So,

If 1.21 inches are cut from 4 corners, or a square of 1.21*1.21 = 1.46 inch² is cut from 4 corners, we get the maximum value of V

Y/2 - 1/5 = 2 - y/3 <br><br>please tell me this asap ​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

y=2 16/25

in other words, two and sixteen twenty-fifths

Step-by-step explanation:

y/2-1/5=2-y/3

Move the variables to one side and constants to the other

y/2+y/3=2+1/5

Multiply y/2 by 3/3 and y/3 by 2/2 so that they have a common denominator

3y/6+2y/6=2 1/5

5y/6=11/5

Cross multiply

66=25y

y=66/25

y=2 16/25

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

The rectangles shown are similar. What is the value of x?
drek231 [11]
Since the rectangles are similar. The ratio of their sides will be the same.

So, we can write:

x:18 = 4:6 \\  \\ &#10; \frac{x}{18}= \frac{4}{6} \\  \\   &#10;x =  \frac{4}{6}  * 18 = 12

Therefore, the left side of the bigger rectangle will be 12 units in length.
