Let x represent the side length of the square end, and let d represent the dimension that is the sum of length and girth. Then the volume V is given by
V = x²(d -4x)
Volume will be maximized when the derivative of V is zero.
dV/dx = 0 = -12x² +2dx
0 = -2x(6x -d)
This has solutions
x = 0, x = d/6
a) The largest possible volume is
(d/6)²(d -4d/6) = 2(d/6)³
= 2(108 in/6)³ = 11,664 in³
b) The dimensions of the package with largest volume are
d/6 = 18 inches square by
d -4d/6 = d/3 = 36 inches long
Answer:
x ≈ {-11.789, +0.501, 11.288}
Step-by-step explanation:
The cubic g(x) - f(x) = 0 has three real solutions. It can be rewritten as ...

Since the solutions are irrational, they are best found using a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. My favorite graphing calculator shows the approximate solutions below.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
Your expression for f(x) is ambiguous in that many Brainly questions have the exponentiation indicator replaced by a blank: 3 x -1 often means 3^x -1 and sometimes means 3^(x-1). We have taken the expression at face value and have assumed it is a linear expression. If otherwise, the problem is basically worked the same way: write a function h(x) = g(x) - f(x) and look for solutions to h(x) = 0. Graphing can be useful.
Answer:
9x -7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-6+x-1
Combine like terms
8x +x -6-1
9x -7
Well 1000 for his birthday then subtract 25 each week, w, should be 1000-25w if i am not mistaken.
Answer:
<u>Yes, it is 30</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
And yes, you thought it through correctly. 6(X-Y) = 6*5
6(X-Y) = <u>30</u>
