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

Find a formula for the described function.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is A=5L-L^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P=2(L+W)

where, L is length and W is width.

It is given that perimeter of a rectangle is 10m.

10=2(L+W)

Divide both sides by 2.

5=L+W

Subtract L from both sides.

5-L=W

Area of a rectangle is

A=L\times W

Substitute W=(5-L) in the above formula.

A=L\times (5-L)

A=5L-L^2

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is A=5L-L^2.

Find the volume of the pyramid. 100 points
KATRIN_1 [288]

<em>120 yd^3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is...

V=\frac{1}{3}Bh

B is the area of the base and h is the height from the middle of the pyramid to the top. Since we know both of these we can plug them in.

V=\frac{1}{3}(45*8)

V=\frac{1}{3}*360

V=

<u>120</u>

The volume for the pyramid is <u>120 yd^3</u>.
