Can someone please help me with math.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
First thing we notice is that the y intercept is at (3,0) meaning that they have some sort of fee that has a charge of 3 dollars (represented by the 3)
Because the fee is 3 dollars we can immediately eliminate answers B and C
Now we want to find the charge for each bag of Potpourri (this can be represented by the slope)
Once again we want to choose two points on the line and plug it in into the slope formula
the points are optional but i have chosen the points (1,4.5) and (2,6)
*plug it into the slope formula*
so we can conclude that the charge per bag of potpourri is $1.50 leading us to answer choice A

Answer:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 12 inches
Width: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the side length of the square
The height of the box by cutting squares off :x
- The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
- The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
The new volume of it is:
V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x
<=> V =
To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume
<=>
<=>
<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0
<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6
To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate
= 24x -88
- If x = 3/2, we have:
= 24(3/2) -88 = -52
- If x = 35/6, we have:
= 24(35/6) -88 = 52
We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.
So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches
Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches
