I did this in school!!
You can do it 4 times.
I think...
Your welcome!
I suppose you mean

Then

and the difference quotient is

If it's the case that <em>x</em> ≠ 3, then (<em>x</em> - 3)/(<em>x</em> - 3) reduces to 1, and you would be left with
This is a problem of maxima and minima using derivative.
In the figure shown below we have the representation of this problem, so we know that the base of this bin is square. We also know that there are four square rectangles sides. This bin is a cube, therefore the volume is:
V = length x width x height
That is:

We also know that the <span>bin is constructed from 48 square feet of sheet metal, s</span>o:
Surface area of the square base =

Surface area of the rectangular sides =

Therefore, the total area of the cube is:

Isolating the variable y in terms of x:

Substituting this value in V:

Getting the derivative and finding the maxima. This happens when the derivative is equal to zero:

Solving for x:

Solving for y:

Then, <span>the dimensions of the largest volume of such a bin is:
</span>
Length = 4 ftWidth = 4 ftHeight = 2 ftAnd its volume is:
Okay, so this is exponential. The formula for the exponental function is Y=ab^x
a is the y-intercept
b is the rate/ratio
x is the time
According to the graph, (remember the y-intercept is in the y-axis) so 2 is the y-intercept.
Knowing what the y-intercept is, you know what the answer is.
A.
Put a small dot on positive 4 and go down to -3 and out a big dot there and that’s your first coordinate
