1 Hector puts a fence around his rectangular

prisoha [69]

Answer:

48 feet of fence

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has 4 sides, the parallel sides are equal to each other in length.

If Hector used 14 feet of fence on the long side, he used 28 feet in total for both long sides.

If Hector used 10 feet for the width/short side, he used 20 feet in total for both short sides.

Put simply: (14 x 2) + (10 x 2) = 48 feet of fence in total

A box with a hinged lid is to be made out of a rectangular piece of cardboard that measures 3 centimeters by 5 centimeters. Six

Answer:

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram:

The volume of the box is given by

$V = Length \times Width \times Height \\\\$

Let x denote the length of the sides of the square as shown in the diagram.

The width of the shaded region is given by

$Width = 3 - 2x \\\\$

The length of the shaded region is given by

$Length = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \\\\$

So, the volume of the box becomes,

$V = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3 - 2x) \times x \\\\V = \frac{1}{2} (5 - 3x) \times (3x - 2x^2) \\\\V = \frac{1}{2} (15x -10x^2 -9 x^2 + 6 x^3) \\\\V = \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x) \\\\$

In order to maximize the volume enclosed by the box, take the derivative of volume and set it to zero.

$\frac{dV}{dx} = 0 \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} ( \frac{1}{2} (6x^3 -19x^2 + 15x)) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\0 = \frac{1}{2} (18x^2 -38x + 15) \\\\18x^2 -38x + 15 = 0 \\\\$

We are left with a quadratic equation.

We may solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is given by

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where

$a = 18 \\\\b = -38 \\\\c = 15 \\\\$

$x=\frac{-(-38)\pm\sqrt{(-38)^2-4(18)(15)}}{2(18)} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(1444- 1080}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm\sqrt{(364}}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38\pm 19.078}{36} \\\\x=\frac{38 + 19.078}{36} \: or \: x=\frac{38 - 19.078}{36}\\\\x= 1.59 \: or \: x = 0.53 \\\\$

Volume of the box at x= 1.59:

$V = \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(1.59)) \times (3 - 2(1.59)) \times (1.59) \\\\V = -0.03 \: cm^3 \\\\$

Volume of the box at x= 0.53:

$V = \frac{1}{2} (5 – 3(0.53)) \times (3 - 2(0.53)) \times (0.53) \\\\V = 1.75 \: cm^3$

The volume of the box is maximized when x = 0.53 cm

Therefore,

x = 0.53 cm

Maximum volume = 1.75 cm³

James puts $3,500 into a savings account that earns 2.5% simple interest. He does not touch that account for 3 years. What would

miskamm [114]

Given :

James puts $3,500 into a savings account that earns 2.5% simple interest.

He does not touch that account for 3 years.

To Find :

The new balance of the account be after 3 years.

Solution :

Interest on $3500 after 3 years is :

$I = \dfrac{P_o\times r\times t}{100}\\\\I = \dfrac{3500\times 2.5\times 3}{100}\\\\I = \$262.5$

So, new balance of the account after 3 years is $( 3500+262.5 ) = $3762.5 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
