Consider the following problem: a box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 feet wide, by cu

tting out a square from each of the four corners and bending up the sides. Find the largest volume that such a box can have. (a) Draw several diagrams to illustrate the situation, some short boxes with large bases and some tall boxes with small bases. Find the volume of each configuration. Does it appear that there is a maximum volume

Answer:

) See annex

b) See annex

x  =  0,5 ft

y =  2 ft   and

V = 2 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:  See annex

c) V = y*y*x

d-1) y = 3 - 2x

d-2) V = (3-2x)* ( 3-2x)* x   ⇒ V = (3-2x)²*x    

V(x) =( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x    ⇒   V(x) = 9x + 4x³ - 12x²

Taking derivatives

V¨(x) = 9 + 12x² - 24x

V¨(x) = 0              ⇒   12x² -24x +9 = 0     ⇒  4x² - 8x + 3 = 0

Solving for x (second degree equation)

x =[ -b ± √b²- 4ac ] / 2a

we get    x₁  =  1,5       and    x₂ =  0,5

We look at y = 3 - 2x    and see that the value x₂ is the only valid root

then

x  =  0,5 ft

y =    2 ft   and

V = 0,5*2*2

V = 2 ft³

A sign is being made from a rectangular board of wood that originally measures 36 inches by
lozanna [386]
<h3>Solution (a):</h3>
  • Area of rectangle = LB
  • => Area of rectangle = 18 x 36
  • => Area of rectangle = 648 in²
<h3></h3><h3>Solution (b):</h3>

<u>Since the two triangles are equal (as said in the question):</u>

  • => Area of triangles: 2(1/2 x 6 x 18)
  • => Area of triangles: 6 x 18
  • => Area of triangles: 108 in²
<h3 /><h3>Solution (c):</h3>

<u>Subtract the area of the triangles from the area of the rectangle.</u>

  • 648 - 108 = Area of trapezoid
  • => 540 in² = Area of trapezoid

Does six equation Y equals 6X true yes or no
taurus [48]

Answer: no it does not.

Step-by-step explanation: because when you have a number that has x as a variable, you cant add or subtract those numbers together when both numbers have different variables.

Sherry claims that the expression 1x will always be equivalent to a repeating decimal whenever x is an odd number greater than 1
Zinaida [17]

This question is not complete

Complete Question

Sherry claims that the expression 1/x will always be equivalent to a repeating decimal whenever x is an odd number greater than 1.

Which of these values of x will prove Sherry's claim is false?

Answer:

When x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sherry claims that the expression 1/x will always be equivalent to a repeating decimal whenever x is an odd number greater than 1.

Examples of odd numbers greater than 1 : 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 ....

We would put these odd numbers to test

a) When x = 3

= 1/3 = 0.3333333333

b) When x = 5

= 1/5 = 0.2

c) When x = 7

= 1/7 = 0.142857142

d) When x = 9

= 1/9 = 0.1111111111

e) When x = 11

= 1/11 = 0.0909090909

From the above calculation, we can see that the only odd number greater than 1 that will prove Sherry's theory wrong is when x = 5

Therefore, the value of x that will prove Sherry's claim is false is when x = 5
