Answer:

Dimensions: 0.4 by 3.2 by 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming here that we are cutting out squares out of each of the metal's corners:

Let x = the length of each cut-out square,

Each base (of the desired net square folded) is 4-2x, and 2-2x respectively,

Volume = x(4-2x)(2-2x)

             = 4x^3 - 12x + 8x

Now we take the derivative:

\frac{d}{dx}\left[4x^3-12x^2+8x\right]\\\\= \frac{d}{dx}\left(4x^3\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(12x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(8x\right)\\\\= 12x^2-24x+8

We equate to 0 (0 for max volume), and solve using the quadratic formula:

12x^2-24x+8=0,\\\\x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-\left(-24\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-24\right)^2-4\cdot \:12\cdot \:8}}{2\cdot \:12}\\\\= \frac{-\left(-24\right)\pm \:8\sqrt{3}}{2\cdot \:12}\\\\\mathrm{Separate\:the\:solutions}:\\\\x_1=\frac{-\left(-24\right)+8\sqrt{3}}{2\cdot \:12},\:x_2=\frac{-\left(-24\right)-8\sqrt{3}}{2\cdot \:12}\\\\x =\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{3},\:x=\frac{3-\sqrt{3}}{3}\\\\x=1.57735\dots ,\:x=0.42264\dots

So we approximate the side lengths to be 1.6 and 0.4 respectively. But when we plug in 1.6 for x, we get the volume as negative. Therefore x has to be 0.4.

Side lengths: 0.4, 4-2(0.4) => 3.2, 2-2(0.4) => 1.2

to make a chocolate ice cream you need about 3/8 pounds of chocolate how many pounds of chocolate will you need to make 4 batche
marin [14]
Well since you're using 3/8 and you need to make 4 batches, you need to multiply 3/8 with 4 it would equal 12/8 or 1 4/8 (I could be wrong but this is my answer hopefully this helps) :) <span />

Find the complete factored form of the polynomial -24a6b4-40a3
Naddik [55]

For this case we have the following polynomial:

-24a ^ 6b ^ 4-40a ^ 3

We must find the greatest common factor of the terms of the polynomial.

The GCF of the coefficients is given by:

24 = 3 * 8\\40 = 5 * 8

Then we look for the GFC of the variables:

We have then:

a ^ 6 = a ^ 3a ^ 3\\a ^ 3 = a ^ 3

Finally rewriting we have: -24a ^ 6b ^ 4-40a ^ 3 = -8a ^ 3 (3a ^ 3b ^ 4 + 5)

Answer:

the complete factored form of the polynomial is:

-8a ^ 3 (3a ^ 3b ^ 4 + 5)

Derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions please explain answers
Jobisdone [24]

I'll explain how to do the first one:-

y = cos-1(x2)

This can be described as ' a function of a function'   x^2 is a function of x and cos-1(x^2) is a function of x^2.

We need to  apply the chain rule.

Personally I find this  easier to understand if i let u = x^2, so

If y = f(u) and u is a function of x then

dy/dx = dy/ du * du/dx

Here u = x^2  and y = cos-1(u)

du/dx = 2x

so dy/dx = d(cos-1(x^2) dx = dy/du * du/dx


= -1 / √(1 - u^2) * 2x

= -2x / √(1 - u^2)    

= -2x / √(1 - (x^2)^2)

= -2x / √(1 - x^4)

I hope this helps. but if not. you might like to employ the formulae in the question - The square boxes contain the 'u' s in my answer. These formulae are equivalent to my explanation.
