Answer:

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V), in cubic centimeters, and surface area (A_{s}), in square centimeters, of the box with a square base are described below:

A_{s} = l^{2}+h\cdot l (1)

V = l^{2}\cdot h (2)

Where:

l - Side length of the base, in centimeters.

h - Height of the box, in centimeters.

By (2), we clear h within the formula:

h = \frac{V}{l^{2}}

And we apply in (1) and simplify the resulting expression:

A_{s} = l^{2}+ \frac{V}{l}

A_{s}\cdot l = l^{3}+V

V = A_{s}\cdot l -l^{3} (3)

Then, we find the first and second derivatives of this expression:

V' = A_{s}-3\cdot l^{2} (4)

V'' = -6\cdot l (5)

If V' = 0 and A_{s} = 30000\,cm^{2}, then we find the critical value of the side length of the base is:

30000-3\cdot l^{2} = 0

3\cdot l^{2} = 30000

l = 100\,cm

Then, we evaluate this result in the expression of the second derivative:

V'' = -600

By Second Derivative Test, we conclude that critical value leads to an absolute maximum. The maximum possible volume of the box is:

V = 30000\cdot l - l^{3}

V = 2000000\,cm^{3}

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Are the dotted lines in the shape parallel, perpendicular or intersecting?
slava [35]

Answer:

<em>Parallel</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The dotted lines are parallel because they have the same <u>gradient</u> to each other, this means the two dotted lines will <u>never</u> touch each other.

The measurement of a central angle is 75. Find the measurement of <br> in radians
Marina CMI [18]
Circumference = 360 degrees 
<span>Circumference = 2π radians (comes from 2*pi*radius) </span>

<span>Therefore </span>
<span>360 deg. = 2*π radians </span>
<span>180 deg. = π radians </span>
<span>1 deg. = (π/180) radians </span>

<span>75 deg. = 75(π/180) radians </span>
<span>75 deg. = 75π / 180 radians </span>
<span>don't bother to try and simplify π (it is an irrational number) </span>
<span>however you can simplify 75/180 </span>
<span>both are divisible by 5 </span>
<span>75π/180 = 15π/36 </span>
<span>both are divisible by 3 </span>
<span>75 deg. = 5π/12 radians </span>

<span>We normally don't bother to go further, unless you actually need it as a decimal fraction (in which case, you will have an approximation) </span>

<span>75 deg. ≈ 1.308997 radians</span>

2/3x + 1/6 = -3/4x + 1
kupik [55]
\frac{2}{3} x +  \frac{1}{6}  =  -\frac{3}{4} x + 1

First, simplify \frac{2}{3} x to \frac{2x}{3} / Your problem should look like: \frac{2x}{3} +  \frac{1}{6} =  -\frac{3}{4} x + 1
Second, simplify \frac{3}{4} x to \frac{3x}{4} / Your problem should look like: \frac{2x}{3} +  \frac{1}{6} =  -\frac{3x}{4} + 1
Third, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 3 and 4) / Your problem should look like: 8x + 2 = -9x + 12
Fourth, subtract 2 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8x = -9x + 12 - 2
Fifth, simplify -9x + 12 - 2 to -9x + 10. / Your problem should look like: 8x = -9x + 10
Sixth, add 9x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8x + 9x = 10
Seventh, add 8x + 9x to get 17x. / Your problem should look like: 17x = 10
Eighth, divide both sides by 17. / Your problem should look like: x =  \frac{10}{17}

Answer as fraction: x = \frac{10}{17}
Answer as decimal: x = 0.5882
