A manufacturer wants to make open tin boxes from pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in. by cutting equal squares from the

Stells [14]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the side of square.

Length of box=8-2x

Width of box=15-2x

Height of box=x

Volume of box= $L\times B\times H$

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of box=V(x)= $(8-2x)(15-2x)x=(15x-2x^2)(8-2x)$

$V(x)=120x-30x^2-16x^2+4x^3$

$V(x)=4x^3-46x^2+120x$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$V'(x)=12x^2-92x+120$

$V'(x)=0$

$12x^2-92x+120=0$

$3x^2-23x+30=0$

$3x^2-18x-5x+30=0$

$3x(x-6)-5(x-6)=0$

$(x-6)(3x-5)=0$

$x-6=0\implies x=6$

$3x-5=0\implies x=\frac{5}{3}$

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$V''(x)=24x-92$

Substitute x=6

$V''(6)=24(6)-92=52>0$

Substitute x=5/3

$V''(5/3)=24(5/3)-92=-52$

Hence, the volume is maximum at x= $\frac{5}{3}$

Therefore, the side of the square , $x=\frac{5}{3}$ in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.

What are the solutions of the inequality? graph and check the solutions.

sattari [20]

Answer:

Option 3: $x \ge 8$

Graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the solution of $-\frac{x}{4} \le 2$

$-\frac{x}{4} \le 2$

$-x \le 8$ (multiplication property of equality)

Divide both sides by -1. Since we are dividing by a negative number, the sign would change

$x \ge 8$

This means that the possible values of x are 8 and any number above 8.

Graphing this, the arrow of directed line would start at 8 and move towards our right hand.

Thus, the graph would be graph C in option C.
