Answer:

The width of the box is 6.7 cm

The maximum volume is 148.1 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the box Jorge is asked to build are;

The maximum girth of the box = 20 cm

The nature of the sides of the box = 2 square sides and 4 rectangular sides

The side length of square side of the box = w

The length of the rectangular side of the box = l

Therefore, we have;

The girth = 2·w + 2·l = 20 cm

∴ w + l = 20/2 = 10

w + l = 10

l = 10 - w

The volume of the box, V = Area of square side × Length of rectangular side

∴ V = w × w × l = w × w × (10 - w)

V = 10·w² - w³

At the maximum volume, we have;

dV/dw = d(10·w² - w³)/dw = 0

∴ d(10·w² - w³)/dw = 2×10·w - 3·w² = 0

2×10·w - 3·w² = 20·w - 3·w² = 0

20·w - 3·w² = 0 at the maximum volume

w·(20 - 3·w) = 0

∴ w = 0 or w = 20/3 = 6.\overline 6

Given that 6.\overline 6 > 0, we have;

At the maximum volume, the width of the block, w = 6.\overline 6 cm ≈ 6.7 cm

The maximum volume, V_{max}, is therefore given when w = 6.\overline 6 cm = 20/3 cm  as follows;

V = 10·w² - w³

V_{max} = 10·(20/3)² - (20/3)³ = 4000/27 = 148.\overline {148}

The maximum volume, V_{max} = 148.\overline {148} cm³ ≈ 148.1 cm³

Using a graphing calculator, also, we have by finding the extremum of the function V = 10·w² - w³, the coordinate of the maximum point is (20/3, 4000/27)

The width of the box is;

6.7 cm

The maximum volume is;

148.1 cm³

Find the length of AB
Lady_Fox [76]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

arc AB = 2.5π in (in terms of pi) or ≈7.85 in. (pi = 3.14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by finding the circumference of the circle. Use the formula:

C = 2rπ

C = 2(9)π

C = 18π.

Since ∠AQB equals 50°, set up a ratio to find the length of arc AB:

\frac{50}{360}  = \frac{x}{18\pi }

Cross multiply:

50 · 18π = 360x

900π = 360x

Divide both sides by 360:

x = 2.5π in, or ≈7.85 in.

Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (02.05 MC) Choose the table that represents g(x) = 4⋅f(x) when f(x) = x − 5. x g(x) 1
RSB [31]

Answer: (b)

x g(x)

1 -16

2 -12

3 -8

If g(x) is 4*f(x), then we can find g(x) by multiplying 4 by x-5

g(x) = 4(x-5)

= 4x-20

Now we can plug in 1,2, and 3 for x to see which table makes sense.

g(1) = 4(1) - 20

= -16

g(2) = 4(2) - 20

= -12

g(3) = 4(3) - 20

= -8

One number is 23 more than another. If the sum of the two numbers is 163, find the two numbers.
kipiarov [429]

ANSWER

93 and 70

EXPLANATION

We have that one number is 23 more than another.

Let the first number be x.

Let the second number be y.

This means that:

x = 23 + y ____(1)

The sum of the two numbers is 163. This means that:

x + y = 163 ____(2)

Put (1) in (2):

23 + y + y = 163

23 + 2y = 163

2y = 163 - 23

2y = 140

y = 140 / 2

y = 70

From (1):

x = 23 + 70

x = 93

The two numbers are 93 and 70.

The graph of an exponential function passes through (1, 10) and (4, 80). Find the function that describes the graph.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

  • y = 5*2ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential function:</u>

  • y = abˣ

<u>Ordered pairs given:</u>

  • (1, 10) and (4, 80)

<u>Substitute x and y values to get below system:</u>

  • 10 = ab
  • 80 = ab⁴

<u>Divide the second equation by the first one and solve for b:</u>

  • 80/10 = b³
  • b³ = 8
  • b = ∛8
  • b = 2

<u>Use the first equation and find the value of a:</u>

  • 10 = a*2
  • a = 5

<u>The function is:</u>

  • y = 5*2ˣ
