This basically comes down to maximizing xyz subject to x+9y+8z=27 and enforcing x,y.z>0. We have the Lagrangian

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=xyz+\lambda(x+9y+8z-27)

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0 to find critical points)

\begin{cases}L_x=yz+\lambda=0\\L_y=xz+9\lambda=0\\L_z=xy+8\lambda=0\\L_\lambda=x+9y+8z-27=0\end{cases}

Solving the first equation for \lambda gives \lambda=-yz. Substituting this into the next two equations, we have

xz-9yz=0\implies z(x-9y)=0\implies x=9y
xy-8yz=0\implies y(x-8z)=0\implies x=8z

Now

x+9y+8z=27\implies x+x+x=3x=27\implies x=9
x=9y\implies y=1
x=8z\implies z=\dfrac98

So the vertex of the cuboid in the given plane that maximizes the cuboids volume is (x,y,z)=\left(9,1,\dfrac98\right), giving a volume of \dfrac{81}8.

The sample space is orange, purple, and white. If P(Orange )=2/5 and P(purple) = 3/10 what is P=(white)
padilas [110]
White would be 3/10. Since orange is 2/5, it can also be written as 4/10 since 4/10 simplified would be 2/5. Also since you know purple is 3/10, so you must add what you know to get what you don't know. Orange 4/10 plus purple 3/10 would be 7/10. You would then subtract what the whole thing is worth which is 10/10. 10/10 minus 7/10 would be 3/10 which is the remainder of what is left which is white.
