f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2),
x-intercept means that f(x) = 0.

0 = (x-4)(x+2)
(x-4)=0, x= 4, point (4,0)
(x+2)=0, x = -2, point (-2,0)

This graph has 2 x-intercepts: (4,0) and (-2,0).

From given answers we can choose only (-2,0).

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 19,652 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the cardboard box be x cm by y cm by z cm.

The surface area of the cardboard box without lid is

f(x,y,z)= xy+2xz+2yz.....(1)

Given that the volume of the cardboard is 19,652 cm³.

Therefore xyz =19,652

$\Rightarrow z=\frac{19652}{xy}$ ......(2)

putting the value of z in the equation (1)

$f(x,y)=xy+2x(\frac{19652}{xy})+2y(\frac{19652}{xy})$

$\Rightarrow f(x,y)=xy+\frac{39304}{y})+\frac{39304}{x}$

The partial derivatives are

$f_x=y-\frac{39304}{x^2}$

$f_y=x-\frac{39304}{y^2}$

To find the dimension of the box set the partial derivatives $f_x=0$ and $f_y=0$ .Therefore $y-\frac{39304}{x^2}=0$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{39304}{x^2}$ .......(3)

and $x-\frac{39304}{y^2}=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{y^2}$ .......(4)

Now putting the x in equation (3)

$y =\frac {39304}{(\frac{39304}{y^2})^2}$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{y^4}{39304}$

$\Rightarrow y^3= 39304$

⇒y=34 cm

Then $\Rightarrow x=\frac{39304}{34^2}$ =34 cm.

Putting the value of x and y in the equation (2)

$z=\frac{19652}{34 \times 24}$

=17 cm.

The dimension of the cardboard is 34 cm by 34 cm by 17 cm.
