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 pair of vertical angles have the measure of 2y + 5 degrees + 4y degrees what is the value of y​
timama [110]

Answer:

The value of y s 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are always equal to one another. In this case, we can find the angles by setting the two values equal and solving algebraically.

2y + 5 = 4y

5 = 2y

2.5 = y

Valeria's office recycled a total of 44 kilograms of paper over 4 weeks. How many weeks will it take Valeria's office to recycle
diamong [38]
The answer would be 6 weeks.

First, you do 44 divided by 4 to get 11 kg per week. Now you divide 66 by 11 to get 6 weeks.

How many lines of symmetry does a regular decagon have?<br><br> 8<br><br> 10<br><br> 11<br><br> 12
bixtya [17]
The number of sides is the same as the number of lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry.

So, a regular decagon would have 10 lines of symmetry.

What would the total area be??
timurjin [86]

Answer:

1,560,000 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A= \frac{(1600*600)}{2} This would make shape A's area <u>480,000</u>.

B= \frac{(600*600)}{2} This would make shape B's area <u>180,000</u>.

C= \frac{(1000*600)}{2} This would make shape C's area <u>300,000</u>.

D= 1000×600 This wouls make D's area <u>600,000</u>.

Now you add up all of the areas;

480,000+180,000+300,000+600,000= 1,560,000 mm²
