Answer:

The optimal volume is 63.1142 in3, with a cut of 1.5767 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make a cut of x inches to create the box, the dimensions of the box will be:

Length = 10 - 2x

Width = 9 - 2x

Height = x

So the volume of the box would be:

Volume = (10 - 2x) * (9 - 2x) * x

Volume = 4x3 - 38x2 + 90x

To find the maximum volume, we need to take the derivative of the volume and find the values of x where it is equal to zero:

dV/dx = 12x2 - 76x + 90 = 0

6x2 - 38x + 45 = 0

Using Bhaskara's formula, we have:

Delta = 38^2 - 4*6*45 = 364

sqrt(Delta) = 19.08

x1 = (38 + 19.08) / 12 = 4.7567

x2 = (38 - 19.08) / 12 = 1.5767

Testing these values in the volume equation, we have:

Volume1 = 4*(4.7567)^3 - 38*(4.7567)^2 + 90*(4.7567) = -1.1883

(Negative value for the volume is not valid)

Volume1 = 4*(1.5767)^3 - 38*(1.5767)^2 + 90*(1.5767) = 63.1142

So the optimal volume is 63.1142 in3, with a cut of 1.5767 inches

If y=(x^2-4)^5(3x+4)^4
alexira [117]

Answer:

y'=2(3x+4)^3(x^2-4)^4(21x^2+20x-24)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=(x^2-4)^5(3x+4)^4

y'=[\frac{d}{dx}(x^2-4)^5](3x+4)^4+(x^2-4)^5[\frac{d}{dx}(3x+4)^4]

y'=10x(x^2-4)^4(3x+4)^4+(x^2-4)^5(12(3x+4)^3)

y'=10x(x^2-4)^4(3x+4)^4+12(x^2-4)^5(3x+4)^3

y'=2(3x+4)^3(x^2-4)^4(21x^2+20x-24)

kvasek [131]

The nutritionist should collect data from all diabetic patients to obtain accurate results.

<h3>What is the ideal population for this study?</h3>

This study aims at analyzing the food choices of diabetic patients. Because of this, the population studied should be diabetic patients including different types such as gestational, type I and II.

Moreover, because this affects to all diabetic patients, they all should be included even if they do not usually eat foods with arficial sweeteners.

Based on this, the best population is all diabetic patients.
