The answer is D which is greater than 11 and less than 23.
Sum of 2 sides of triangle is always greater than the third side. And absolute difference of 2 sides of a triangle is always less than the 3rd side. From that, 3rd side ia less than 6+17 = 23 and greater than 17-6=11.

On a snow day, Owen created two snowmen in his backyard. Snowman A was built to

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The equations for each function:

A(t) = 60 - 6t
B(t) = 42 - 3t

The lines plotted, see attached

The point at which both the snowmen have same height:

60 - 6t = 42 - 3t
6t - 3t = 60 - 42
3t = 18
t = 6

The required interval is

t = [0, 6)

Check the picture below. Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm². Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

$\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\
V=lwh\quad 
\begin{cases}
l = length\\
w=width\\
h=height\\
-----\\
w=l=x
\end{cases}\implies V=xxh\implies \boxed{V=x^2h}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{surface area}\\\\
S=4xh+x^2\implies 300=4xh+x^2\implies \cfrac{300-x^2}{4x}=h
\\\\\\
\boxed{\cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4}=h}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
V=x^2\left( \cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4} \right)\implies V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3$

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

$\bf V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dx}=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2\implies 0=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{4}x^2=75\implies 3x^2=300\implies x^2=\cfrac{300}{3}\implies x^2=100
\\\\\\
x=\pm10\impliedby \textit{is a length unit, so we can dismiss -10}\qquad \boxed{x=10}$

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it. Check the second picture below.

so, the volume will then be at $\bf V(10)=75(10)-\cfrac{1}{4}(10)^3\implies V(10)=500 \ cm^3$

5(2x-4)=45find what x equals

il63 [147K]

5(2x - 4) = 45
10x - 20 = 45
10x = 45 + 20
10x = 65
x = 65/10 reduces to 13/2 or 6 1/2
