Answer:

- The number of small boxes that will fill the large box 1 = 64

- The number of small boxes that will fill the large box 2 = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

Items for a fundraiser are packaged in small boxes shaped like rectangular prisms that are 4.5 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and 8 inches tall. To transport the items to an event, you want to know how many of the small boxes will fit in larger boxes. The larger boxes are available in two sizes. Large Box 1 is 24.25 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 24 inches tall. Large Box 2 is 20.5 inches long, 18.5 inches wide, and 24 inches tall. Both the small and large boxes must remain upright.

Solution

To know how many of the small boxes will fit in larger boxes, we need to obtain the volumes of the small box, large box 1 and large box 2.

Volume of a cuboid = L × W × H

For the small box,

Length = L = 4.5 inches

Width = W = 4.5 inches

Height = H = 8 inches

Volume of the small box = 4.5 × 4.5 × 8 = 162 in³

For large box 1,

Length = L = 24.25 inches

Width = W = 18 inches

Height = H = 24 inches

Volume of the large box 1 = 24.25 × 18 × 24 = 10,476 in³

For large box 2

Length = L = 20.5 inches

Width = W = 18.5 inches

Height = H = 24 inches

Volume of the large box 2 = 20.5 × 18.5 × 24 = 9,102 in³

The number of small boxes that'll fill the large box 1 = (10,476/162) = 64.667 = 64 small boxes (rounded down because the fraction cannot be forced into the large box 1.

The number of small boxes that will fill the large box 2 = (9,102/162) = 56.185 = 56 small boxes.

Hope this Helps!!!

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The graph is attached.

To graph a parabola we need to know the following:

- If the parabola is open upwards or downwards

- They axis intercepts (if they exist)

- The vertex position (point)

We are given the function:

f(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+4

Where,

a=-16\\b=64\\c=4

For this case, the coefficient of the quadratic term (a) is negative, it means that the parabola opens downwards.

Finding the axis interception points:

Making the function equal to 0, we can find the x-axis (t) intercepts, but since the equation is a function of the time, we will only consider the positive values, so:

f(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+4\\0=-16t^{2}+64t+4\\-16t^{2}+64t+4=0

Using the quadratic equation:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{64^{2}-4*-16*4} }{2*-16}\\\\\frac{-64+-\sqrt{64^{2}-4*-16*4} }{2*-16}=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{4096+256} }{-32}\\\\\frac{-64+-\sqrt{4096+256} }{-32}=\frac{-64+-(65.96) }{-32}\\\\t1=\frac{-64+(65.96) }{-32}=-0.06\\\\t2=\frac{-64-(65.96) }{-32}=4.0615

So, at t=4.0615 the height of the softball will be 0.

Since we will work only with positive values of "x", since we are working with a function of time:

Let's start from "t" equals to 0 to "t" equals to 4.0615.

So, evaluating we have:

f(0)=-16(0)^{2}+64(0)+4=4\\\\f(1)=-16(1)^{2}+64(1)+4=52\\\\f(2)=-16(2)^{2}+64(2)+4=68\\\\f(3)=-16(3)^{2}+64(3)+4=52\\\\f(4.061)=-16(4.0615)^{2}+64(4.0615)+4=0.0034=0

Finally, we can conclude that:

- The softball reach its maximum height at t equals to 2. (68 feet)

- The softball hits the ground at t equals to 4.0615 (0 feet)

- At t equals to 0, the height of the softball is equal to 4 feet.

Find the 13th term of the arithmetic sequence -3x – 1,42 + 4,112 + 9, ...
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The 13th term is 81<em>x</em> + 59.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

\displaystle -3x -1, \, 4x +4, \, 11x  + 9 \dots

And we want to find the 13th term.

Recall that for an arithmetic sequence, each subsequent term only differ by a common difference <em>d</em>. In other words:

\displaystyle \underbrace{-3x - 1}_{x_1} + d = \underbrace{4x + 4} _ {x_2}

Find the common difference by subtracting the first term from the second:

d = (4x+4) - (-3x - 1)

Distribute:

d = (4x + 4) + (3x + 1)

Combine like terms. Hence:

d = 7x + 5

The common difference is (7<em>x</em> + 5).

To find the 13th term, we can write a direct formula. The direct formula for an arithmetic sequence has the form:

\displaystyle x_n = a + d(n-1)

Where <em>a</em> is the initial term and <em>d</em> is the common difference.

The initial term is (-3<em>x</em> - 1) and the common difference is (7<em>x</em> + 5). Hence:

\displaystyle x_n = (-3x - 1) + (7x+5)(n-1)

To find the 13th term, let <em>n</em> = 13. Hence:

\displaystyle x_{13} = (-3x - 1) + (7x + 5)((13)-1)

Simplify:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}x_{13} &= (-3x-1) + (7x+5)(12) \\ &= (-3x - 1) +(84x + 60) \\ &= 81x + 59 \end{aligned}

The 13th term is 81<em>x</em> + 59.
