An open-top bin is to be made from a 15-centimeter by 40-centimeter piece of plastic by removing a square from each corner of th

e plastic and folding up the flaps on each side. What size square should be cut out of each corner to get a bin with the maximum volume?

Answer:

The size of the square is  \frac{10}{3} cm by  

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>To find the side of the square which removing from each corner of the plastic and makes the volume of the bin maximum assume that the side of the square is x and write the formula of the volume in terms of x, then differentiate it and equate the differentiation by 0 to find the value of x</em>

∵ The dimensions of the piece of plastic are 15 cm and 50 cm

∵ The side of the square which removed from each corner is x cm

- That means each dimension will be less by 2x (x from right and

    x from left)

∴ The dimensions of the base of the bin are (15 - 2x) , (40 - 2x)

∴ The height of the bin is x

The formula of the volume of the bin is V = l × w × h

∵ The volume of the bin V = (15 - 2x)(40 - 2x)(x)

- Multiply the two brackets at first

∵ (15 - 2x)(40 - 2x) = (15)(40) + (15)(-2x) + (-2x)(40) + (-2x)(-2x)

∴ (15 - 2x)(40 - 2x) = 600 + (-30x) + (-80x) + 4x²

- Add the like terms

∴ (15 - 2x)(40 - 2x) = 600 - 110x + 4x²

- Substitute it in the formula of the volume

∴ V = (x)(600 - 110x + 4x²)

- Multiply the bracket by x

∴ V = 600x - 110x² + 4x³

Now differentiate V with respect to x

∵ V' = 600 - 220x + 12x²

- Equate the differentiation by 0

∴ 600 - 220x + 12x² = 0

- Re-arrange the terms of the equation from greatest power of x

∴ 12x² - 220x + 600 = 0

- Use your calculator to solve the quadratic equation and give

    you the values of x

∴ x = 15  <em>OR </em> x = \frac{10}{3}

<em>One of them will give the maximum volume and the other will give the minimum volume to find that fin V" and substitute the values of x on it if the answer is negative then the volume is maximum if the answer is positive, then the volume is minimum</em>

∵ V' = 600 - 220x + 12x²

∴ V" = -220 + 24x

- Substitute x by 15

∴ V" = -220 + 24(15) = 140 (positive value)

∴ x = 15 gives the minimum volume

- Substitute x by \frac{10}{3}

∴ V" = -220 + 24( \frac{10}{3} ) = -140 (negative value)

∴ x =  \frac{10}{3} gives the maximum volume

∴ The side of the square is \frac{10}{3} cm

The size of the square is  \frac{10}{3} cm by  \frac{10}{3} cm

Please help! The question is in the image
Goshia [24]

Answer:

I am pretty sure that your answer would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is because if B if half of line segment AD and AD is equal to 12, then B must be equal to 6 since half of 12 is 6. Next, since C is the mid-point for line segment BD then C must be 3 since half of 6 is 3. And finally, that means line segment BC is three since it is 1/2 of BD.

Hope this helps! :)

why mathematics is the very important in a small business? is mathematics is helpful to you? explain​
kodGreya [7K]
Mathematics is very important in a small business is because when you make money transactions with other people you need to know how to count money correctly and your calculations can’t be wrong. Mathematics is definitely helpful to me because Artificial Intelligence is taking on jobs, so we have to step up our game.
