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.

Which would be a good estimate for the tax on $97.95 if the tax is 9.5%?$12$10.50$10$8.50
mamaluj [8]
First you need to turn 9.5% into a decimal so you need to move the dot " . " over to the left two times 9.5 ---> .95 ---> .095
Now that you turned the % into a decimal all thats left to do is multiply .095 by $97.95
$97.95 * .095= $9.30525 or $9.31
So the tax is $91.31

Find the area of the shaded triangle
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

18 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The square shows you the width and height of the triangle.

The area of any triangle if equal to 0.5 * width * height, so:

0.5 * 6 * 6 = 3 * 6 = 18 square units.

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line y=1/3x-7
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

1/3, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Before answering this, I will need to assume that you actually meant

y = (1/3)x - 7.  Comparing this to y = mx + b, we see that the slope, m, is 1/3 and the y-intercept, b, is -7.
