Answer:

4x^2+10x-2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

So the total area of mirror: 2*3 = 6 ft sq

8-6 = 2 ft sq is the area of the frame

x is the thickness of the frame

so we have (2*x)*2+(3*x)*2+x*x*4= 2

4x+6x+4x^2=2

-> 4x^2+10x-2=0

If the outliers are not included, what is the mean of the data? 76,79,80,82,50,78,83,79,81,82.
natta225 [31]
50 is the only outlier so take 50 out of the set then add the other 9 data points and divide by 9.<span>
76 + 79 + 80 + 82 + 78 + 83 + 79 + 81 + 82 = 720 / 9 = 80</span>

An open box is to be made out of a 12-inch by 20-inch piece of cardboard by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corn
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Length = 15.14, width = 7.14 and height = 2.43  inches.

( correct to the nearest hundredth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths of the squares cut out be x inches.

Then the width of the box will be 12 - 2x and the length will be

20 - 2x inches.

The height of the box is x inches.

Volume V = x(20-2x)(12-2x)

To find the value of x when V is a maximum we find the derivative and equate it to zero.

V = x( 240 - 64x + 4x^2)

V = 4x^3 - 64x^2 + 240x

dV/dx = 12x^2 - 128x + 240 = 0

4(3x^2 - 32x + 60) = 0

This won't factor so we use the formula:

x = [-(-32) +/- √((-32)^2 - 4*3*60)] / 6

= 8.24, 2.43.

So one of these gives a maximum Volume.

The second derivative

d^2V/dx^2 = 24x - 128

When x = 8.24,  this = 69.6 (positive) so this gives a minimum.

x = 2.43 gives a negative  value ( -49.7)  so this is the maximum

So the dimensions are:-

length = 20 - 2(2.43) = 15.14

width = 12 - 2(2.43) = 7.14

height = 2.43.
