Read this sentence in the problem carefully.
"<span>The number of pages in each program is determined by the number of graduates."
That means that you can have any number of graduates, and you will figure out the number of pages in the program depending on the number of graduates.
g, the number of graduates, is the independent independent variable.
p, the number of pages, is the dependent variable.

<span>Part I: Determining Dimensions
Arnold
has been given a 6 foot by 6 foot sheet of cardboard to make an open
box by cutting an equal size square from each corner, folding up the
resulting flaps, and taping at the corners. Your task is to label
dimensions on a sketch with the same size variable cut from each corner.
*You don't have to draw one, just explain what it would look like*
Answer:
Base of the box:
it is a square
side of the base = 6 foot - x - x. = 6 - 2x
Height of the box: x
Part II: Analyze
How does each variable expression relate to the length, width, and height of the box when folded?
Answer:
length = width = 6 - 2x
height = x
Part III: Extend your Findings
a. Based upon the variables you used in Part II, write a product for the volume.
Answer:
Volume = area of the base × height
Volume = (6 - 2x)² x
b. Expand the product to write a volume function.
Answer:
Volume = (36 - 24x + 4x²)x
Volume = 36x - 24x² + 4x³
c. What domain makes sense for the volume?
Answer:
Since x is a physical dimension x is greater than 0
Since the lenght of the cardboarc sheet is 6 and two squares are cut off, x has to be less than 3
So, the domain is (0, 3)
d. Guess and check values to find the size cut that produces a maximum volume.
*Six guesses are required*
Answer:
x </span>Volume = 36x - 24x² + 4x³
0.1 36(0.1) - 24(0.1)² + 4(0.1)³ = 3.36
0.5 36(0.5) - 24(0.5)² + 4(0.5)³ = 12.5
1.0 36 - 24 + 4 = 16
1.5 36(1.5) - 24(1.5)² + 4(1.5)³ = 13.5
2.0 36(2) - 24(2)² + 4(2)³ = 8
1.7 36(1.7) - 24(1.7)² + 4 (1.7)³ = 11.49
1.2 36(1.2) - 24(1.2)² + 4(1.2)³ = 15.55
Then you can guess that the maximum volume is pretty close to 16 and it is whenx is close to 1.

Answer:
- The graph has an open circle at 7.
- The arrow points left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding 10 and dividing by 4, we have ...
4x < 28
x < 7
The comparison does not include the "equal to" case, so the circle at x=7 is open. Values of x less than 7 are in the solution set. Those values are found to the left of 7 on the number line.
- The graph has an open circle at 7.
- The arrow points left.
Answer:
5.46π cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of sphere= 4/3πr³
= 4/3×π×(1.6)³ cm³
=5.46π cm³
hope this helped you!
