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

If the average of 8 numbers is 12, what is the sum of the 8 numbers?
Sholpan [36]
Either I don't understand the question fully or this has a whole lot of answers.
For example, if all the numbers were 12 there would be an average of 12 and would equal 96 as the sum

An ancient Chinese candle clock tells the amount of time that has passed by the amount of wax that has been melted off the candl
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Time = 560\ mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Candles = 2 --- candles melted

Divisions = 12

Time = 4\ hrs --- time to melt

Required

The time since the first was lit

If 1 candle melts in 4 hours, 2 candles will melt in 8 hours.

i.e.

x = Candles * Time

x = 2 * 4hrs

x = 8hrs

For the 3rd candle that has melted, 4 inches

First, calculate the fraction that melt

Fraction = \frac{Melt}{Division}

Fraction = \frac{4}{12}

Fraction = \frac{1}{3}

The time to melt is:

y = Fraction * Time

y= 4 * \frac{1}{3}

y= \frac{4}{3}hrs

So, the required time is:

Time = x + y

Time = 8hrs + \frac{4}{3}hrs

Convert to minutes

Time = 8*60mins + \frac{4}{3}*60mins

Time = 480mins + 80mins

Time = 560\ mins

Find the domain of the rational expression: x-3/2x-8
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x\neq4\to x\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{4\}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x-3}{2x-8}

We know: the denominator must be different than 0.

Therefore

2x-8\neq0        <em>add 8 to both sides</em>

2x-8+8\neq0+8

2x\neq8             <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{8}{2}\\\\x\neq4
