Jay wants to make a box, with no lid (or top), out of a 10" x 6" rectangular piece of cardboard. If Jay cuts squares with dimens

ions x by x out of each corner of the cardboard, and then folds up the corners to make an open box, find a function that represents: (a) The volume of the box. (b) The surface area of the box.

Answer:

a.V(x)=x(10-2x)(6-2x)

b.S(x)=4(15-x^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of rectangular piece of cardboard=10\times 6

According to question

Length of box,l=10-2x

Breadth of box,b=6-2x

Height of box,h=x

a.

Volume of box=l\times b\times h

Substitute the values in the formula

Volume of box=x(10-2x)(6-2x)

V(x)=x(10-2x)(6-2x)

b.Surface area of box=2(b+l)h+lb

Because the box has no lid

Substitute the values in the formula

Surface area of box=2(10-2x+6-2x)x+(10-2x)(6-2x)

Surface area of box=2(16-4x)x+60-20x-12x+4x^2

Surface area of box=32x-8x^2+60-32x+4x^2

Surface area of box=60-4x^2=4(15-x^2)

Surface area of box, S(x)=4(15-x^2)

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The correct option is, Exponential Decay, $23,914.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer buys a tractor for $50,000.

It is provided that the the tractor depreciates 10% per year.

The exponential function for decay is:

y=a\cdot (1-r\%)^{t}

Here,

a = initial value

r = decay rate

t = time

Compute the value of the tractor in 7 years as follows:

y=a\cdot (1-r\%)^{t}

  =50000\times (1-0.10)^{7}\\\\=50000\times 0.4782969\\\\=23914.845\\\\\approx 23914.85

Thus, the correct option is, Exponential Decay, $23,914.85.

Answer:

Answer choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

When you factor the equation, 12 only has 6x2 to equal the -12x. This means that you'll factor it into (3x-6)(x-2). When you set either of these equal to 0, the x value is 2.
