Answer: the answer is 6.38
Step-by-step explanation: You have to divide 25.40/4 you can use base ten blocks or draw it out or just divide that is how i got the answer!
First you plug in the data to the formula. So it will be 2(1/3+1/2). You then want to add the fractions together but must first find the common denominator which will be 6. So it is 2(2/6+3/6). The fractions then add up to be 5/6. So all you have to do is multiply it by 2 to get 5/3 which simplifies to 1 2/3 so it is D.
Just use the formula y=mx+b and you should get your answer
The maximum volume of the box is 40√(10/27) cu in.
Here we see that volume is to be maximized
The surface area of the box is 40 sq in
Since the top lid is open, the surface area will be
lb + 2lh + 2bh = 40
Now, the length is equal to the breadth.
Let them be x in
Hence,
x² + 2xh + 2xh = 40
or, 4xh = 40 - x²
or, h = 10/x - x/4
Let f(x) = volume of the box
= lbh
Hence,
f(x) = x²(10/x - x/4)
= 10x - x³/4
differentiating with respect to x and equating it to 0 gives us
f'(x) = 10 - 3x²/4 = 0
or, 3x²/4 = 10
or, x² = 40/3
Hence x will be equal to 2√(10/3)
Now to check whether this value of x will give us the max volume, we will find
f"(2√(10/3))
f"(x) = -3x/2
hence,
f"(2√(10/3)) = -3√(10/3)
Since the above value is negative, volume is maximum for x = 2√(10/3)
Hence volume
= 10 X 2√(10/3) - [2√(10/3)]³/4
= 2√(10/3) [10 - 10/3]
= 2√(10/3) X 20/3
= 40√(10/27) cu in
