You are constructing a cardboard box from a piece of cardboard with the dimensions 2 m by 4 m. You then cut equal-size squares f

postnew [5]

Answer:

Dimensions:

l =3,15 m

w=1,15 m

x= 0,42 m (height)

V(max) = 1,52 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardboard is L = 4 m and W = 2 m

Let call x the length of the square to cut in each corner, then, volume of open box is:

For the side L is L - 2*x l = 4 - 2*x

For the side W is W - 2*x w= 2 - 2*x

The height is x

Volume of the open box, as function of x is:

V(x) = ( 4 -2x) * ( 2 - 2x) *x ⇒ V(x) = ( 8 - 8x -4x + 4x²) *x

V(x) = ( 8 -12x + 4x² )*x V(x) = 8x - 12x² + 4x³

V(x) = 8x - 12x² + 4x³

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 8 - 24x + 12x²

V´(x) = 0 8 - 24x + 12x² = 0 reordering 12x² - 24x + 8 = 0

or 3x² - 6x + 2 = 0

A second degree equation. Solving for x

x₁,₂ = ( 6 ± √36 - 24 ) /6

x₁,₂ = ( 6 ± 3.46) /6

x₁ = 6 + 3,46 /6 x₁ = 1.58 we dismiss such solution because 1,58 * 2 = 3,15 and is bigger than 2 one of the side of the cardboard

x₂ =( 6 - 3,46 ) / 6

x₂ = 0,42 m

Dimensions of the open box

l = 4 - 2*x l = 4 - 0,85 l = 3,15 m

w = 2 -2*x w = 2 - 0,85 w = 1,15 m

x = 0,42 m

V(max) =3,15*1,15*0,42

V(max) = 1,52 m³

A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles. What is the speed in centimeters/minute? You may use the (appr

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Speed = 23809.52 cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles.

To find : What is the speed in centimeters/minute

Solution : Formula to find speed is

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Distance traveled = 1500 miles and time taken = 7 days

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}$

Now, we have to convert miles into centimeter and days into minutes.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour= 60 minute

24 hr= 24×60 minute

1 day = 24×60 minute

7 days = 7×24×60 minute = 10,080 minute

Now, 1 mile = 8/5 km = 1.6 km

1 km= 100000 cm

1.6 km = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1 mile = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1500 miles = 1500×1.6 × 100000 cm = 240,000,000 cm

Put back the values into speed

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}$

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{240,000,000 cm}}{\text{10,080 minute}}$

$\text{Speed}=\text{23809.523 cm/minute}$

Therefore, speed = 23809.52 cm/min

Mary invests £12000 in a savings account. The account pays 1. 5% compound interest per year. Work out the value of her investmen

mestny [16]

Answer:

The value of Mary's investment after two years = £12362.7

Step-by-step explanation:P = Principal / initial amountR = rate of interest per cent per yearT = number of yearsA = final amount at the end of T yearsThen:A = P*(1 + R/100)^2In our example:P = £12000R = 1.5 per cent per yearT = 2 yearsThus:A = 12000*(1 + 1.5/100)^2 = 12000*(1 + 0.015)^2 = 12000*(1.015)^2 = 12000*(1.030225) = 12362.7Value of investment after two years = £12362.7
