By applying basic property of Geometric progression we can say that sum of 15 terms of a sequence whose first three terms are 5, -10 and 2 is
<h3>What is
sequence ?</h3>
Sequence is collection of numbers with some pattern .
Given sequence

We can see that

and

Hence we can say that given sequence is Geometric progression whose first term is 5 and common ratio is -2
Now
term of this Geometric progression can be written as

So summation of 15 terms can be written as

y = x^2 + 2x...eqn 1
y = 3x + 20...eqn 2
subst for y in eqn 1...
=> x^2 +2x = 3x +20
=> x^2 - x - 20 =0
=> (x-5) (x+4) =0
=> x = 5 or -4
for x =5, y = 35 (sub for x in eqn 1 or 2)
for x = -4, y = 8 (sub for x in eqn 1 or 2)
If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.
The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.
