You need to find x so that then you can do it and you didn’t share a answer so how are we supposed to know??
Step-by-step explanation:
the process is shown above hope you understand.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to be specific. Did the weight decrease by 60 tons or 60 pounds? I assume tons, but in math, you can't assume.
This problem seems overly simple, so I am wondering if some information is missing. With the given information and assuming the decrease was in fact 60 tons, you would have:
125,890 - 60 = 125,830 tons
Volume
of a rectangular box = length x width x height<span>
From the problem statement,
length = 60 - 2x
width = 10 - 2x
height = x</span>
<span>
where x is the height of the box or the side of the equal squares from each
corner and turning up the sides
V = (60-2x) (10-2x) (x)
V = (60 - 2x) (10x - 2x^2)
V = 600x - 120x^2 -20x^2 + 4x^3
V = 4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x
To maximize the volume, we differentiate the expression of the volume and
equate it to zero.
V = </span>4x^3 - 100x^2 + 600x<span>
dV/dx = 12x^2 - 200x + 600
12x^2 - 200x + 600 = 0</span>
<span>x^2 - 50/3x + 50 = 0
Solving for x,
x1 = 12.74 ; Volume = -315.56 (cannot be negative)
x2 = 3.92 ;
Volume = 1056.31So, the answer would be that the maximum volume would be 1056.31 cm^3.</span><span>
