Answer:
The density is equal to the weight divided by the volume:
The paperweight weights 300 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
The density of the paperweight can be calculated knowing the weight and the volume of this paperweight.
The density is equal to the weight divided by the volume:
We know that the density of this paperweight is 1.5 grams per cm3, and its volume is 200 cm3.
We can use the formula of the density to calculate the weight:
The paperweight weights 300 grams.
Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:
which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is
Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:
which gives:
or
We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,
, for
