Answer:

The values of x for which the model is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function for the volume of the shipping box is given as follows;

V = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x

The function will make sense when V ≥ 0, which is given as follows

When V = 0, x = 0

Which gives;

0 = 2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x

0 = 2·x² - 19·x + 39

0 = x² - 9.5·x + 19.5

From an hint obtained by plotting the function, we have;

0 = (x - 3)·(x - 6.5)

We check for the local maximum as follows;

dV/dx = d(2·x³ - 19·x² + 39·x)/dx = 0

6·x² - 38·x + 39 = 0

x² - 19/3·x + 6.5 = 0

x = (19/3 ±√((19/3)² - 4 × 1 × 6.5))/2

∴ x = 1.288, or 5.045

At x = 1.288, we have;

V = 2·1.288³ - 19·1.288² + 39·1.288 ≈ 22.99

V ≈ 22.99 in.³

When x = 5.045, we have;

V = 2·5.045³ - 19·5.045² + 39·5.045≈ -30.023

Therefore;

V > 0 for 0 < x < 3 and V < 0 for 3 < x < 6.5

The values of x for which the model makes sense and V ≥ 0 is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3.

Answer:

Minimum < Q1 < Median < Q3< Maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Minimum, Median, Maximum, Q3 and Q1

<em>See attachment for complete question</em>

Required

Order from least to greatest

In a dataset, the range is:

Range = Maximum - Minimum

This implies that, the minimum is the least and the maximum is the highest of the dataset

So, we have:

Minimum <         <              <           < Maximum

The median is the middle item; So, the above becomes

Minimum <         < Median <           < Maximum

In a dataset, the IQR is:

IQR = Q_3 - Q_1

This implies that:

Q_3 > Q_1

So, we have:

Minimum < Q1 < Median < Q3< Maximum

Help me with this question
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Pretty sure its 7.5 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

5·3=15÷2=7.5

Doing area with triangles is kind of the same as rectangle, just do base × height. But then divide it by two.

For example: base=3, height=7. With rectangles it would be 21 units².

But with triangles it would be 3·7=21 divided by 2, it would be 10.5 units²

Just divide as usual.

15/5 = 3

So, if you have a negative then your answer is -3.
