Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of one side of the square base be x

Let the height of the box by y

Volume of the box V = x²y

Since the box is opened at the top, the total surface area S = x² + 2xy + 2xy

S = x² + 4xy

Given

S = 7500sq in.

Substitute into the formula for calculating the total surface area

7500 = x² + 4xy

Make y the subject of the formula;

7500 - x² = 4xy

y = (7500-x²)/4x

Since V = x²y

V = x² (7500-x²)/4x

V = x(7500-x²)/4

V = 1/4(7500x-x³)

For us to maximize the volume, then dV/dx = 0

dV/dx = 1/4(7500-3x²)

1/4(7500-3x²) = 0

(7500-3x²) = 0

7500 = 3x²

x² = 7500/3

x² = 2500

x = √2500

x = 50in

Since y = (7500-x²)/4x

y = 7500-2500/4(50)

y = 5000/200

y = 25in

Hence the dimensions of the box that will maximize its volume is 50in by 50in by 25in.

The Volume of the box V = 50²*25

V = 2500*25

V= 62,500in³

Hence the maximum volume is 62,500in³

Ragan makes beaded jewelry. The graph below shows the number of beads on varying cord lengths.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Option C) 34 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The graph shows the number of beads on varying cord lengths.

The y-axis represents the number of beads and x-axis represents the cord length in inches.

The graph represents the equation:

y = 2.52x + 1.61

where y is the number of beads and x is the cord length.

We have to find the cord length of a necklace consisting of 88 beads.

Thus, we are given y = 88.

Putting this value in the equation, we get,

y = 2.52x + 1.61\\88 = 2.52x + 1.61\\2.52x = 88 - 1.61\\2.52x = 86.39\\\\x = \displaystyle\frac{86.39}{2.52} = 34.28 \approx 34

Thus, the cord length of necklace with 88 beads is approximatwly 34 inches.

Cards: suppose you draw a card from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability of each event.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Theoretical probability.  1/13

Step-by-step explanation:

probablility = number of favorable outcomes/number of possible outcomes

Since there are four 5's in a deck, this will be the numerator and since there is 52 cards in a deck this will be the denominator.

(p of drawing a 5) = 4/52

Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4

4/52 ÷ 4/4 = 1/13

This is theoretical probability because you are not actually drawing the cards.
