Answer:

x = 1,6 in   ( the side of the corner squares )

V(max) = 67,58 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardboard is:

L = 12 in          w  =  8 in

Let´s call "x" the side of the square from the corner:

Then the sides of the base of the open box are:

( L - 2*x )    and    ( w - 2*x )     and   x is the height

( 12  -  2*x )  and  ( w  - 2*x )

V(ob) = (L - 2*x ) * (  - 2*x ) * x

Wich is a function of x

V(x) = [( 12 - 2*x ) * ( 8 - 2*x ) ]*x

V(x) = ( 96 - 24*x - 16*x + 4*x²) * x

V(x) = 96*x - 40*x² + 4*x³

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 12*x² - 80*x + 96

V´(x) = 0     12*x² - 80*x + 96 = 0

Solving for x

x₁,₂ = 80 ± √ 6400 - 4608 / 24

x₁,₂ = 80 ± 42,33 / 24

x₁ = 5,10       We dismiss this solution since 2*x  becomes 2*5,10 = 10,20

ant this value is bigger than 8 inches

x₂ = 1,60 in

Therefore dimensions of the box

a = 12 - 2*x     ;  a =  12 - 3,20  ;  a = 8,8 in

b = 8 - 2*x   ; b = 8 - 3,20  ; b =  4,80  in

And the volume of the open box is:

V(max) = 8,8*4,8*1,6

V(max)  =  67,58 in³

How do we Know that is the maximun value for V?

We find  V´´(x)  = 24*x - 80     for  x = 1,6 is negative ( V´´(x) = - 41,6 therefore V (x) has  a local maximun for a value of x = 1,6

Prove that a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally. Be sure to create and name the
ryzh [129]

Answer:

in steps

Step-by-step explanation:

DE // BC

m∠ADE = m∠ABC   and m∠AED = m∠ACB

∴ ΔADE similar to ΔABC

AB/AD = AC/AE

(AD + DB) / AD = (AE + EC) / AE

AD/AD + DB/AD = AE/AE + EC/AE

1 + DB/AD = 1 + EC/AE

DB/AD = EC/AE    (AD/DB = AE/EC)

Which equation is a proportion? <br> 1/3= 1/4 <br> 3/4=6/9<br> 5/8=20/32 <br> 7/9=21/28
rosijanka [135]
Well, 1/3 is equal to 0.3, and 1/4 is equal to .25, so it can't be a.
3/4 is equal to .75 and 6/9 is equal to 0.6, so it can't be b.
5/8 is equal to 0.625 and 20/32 is also equal to 0.625, so it could be c.
7/9 is equal to 0.7 and 21/28 is equal to 0.75, so it can't be D.
Your best bet is C. Because both sides of C are equal.
C 5/8=20/32
