Check the picture below. Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm². Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it. Check the second picture below.
so, the volume will then be at
Answer:
Using the formula:

where
A is the total amount
P is the principal
I is the Simple Interest
As per the statement:
Principal(P) = 5300 rupees.
rate of interest(r) = 6.5% = 0.065
Total amount(A) = 6678 rupees.
Then using above formula we have;

Subtract 5300 both sides we get;

or

We have to find the time period.
Using formula of Simple interest:

where r is the rate of interest (in decimal)
here, r = 6.5% = 0.065
Substitute the given values top find t:

⇒
Divide both sides by 344.5 we have;

Therefore, the time period t in years is 4 years
Answer: $70 per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that x is the number of years that has passed and y is how much the stamp is worth.
So we know that in zero years the stamp was worth $420 because that is the time Sheri gave her brother Sam the stamp. That could bring up the coordinates (0,420) .
Now we know that in 8 years it was worth $980 and that could be the coordinates (8,980)
To find the rate of change we need to find the different between the y value and divide it by the difference in the x values.
420 - 980 = -560
0-8 = -8
-560/-8 = 70
The rate of change is 70 which means that it grew by $70 every year.
