Answer:

The largest possible volume V is ;

V = l^2 × h

V = 20^2 × 10 = 4000cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of a box = length × breadth × height= l×b×h

In this case the box have a square base. i.e l=b

Volume V = l^2 × h

The surface area of a square box

S = 2(lb+lh+bh)

S = 2(l^2 + lh + lh) since l=b

S = 2(l^2 + 2lh)

Given that the box is open top.

S = l^2 + 4lh

And Surface Area of the box is 1200cm^2

1200 = l^2 + 4lh ....1

Making h the subject of formula

h = (1200 - l^2)/4l .....2

Volume is given as

V = l^2 × h

V = l^2 ×(1200 - l^2)/4l

V = (1200l - l^3)/4

the maximum point is at dV/dl = 0

dV/dl = (1200 - 3l^2)/4

dV/dl = (1200 - 3l^2)/4 = 0

3l^2= 1200

l^2 = 1200/3 = 400

l = √400

I = 20cm

Since,

h = (1200 - l^2)/4l

h = (1200 - 20^2)/4×20

h = (800)/80

h = 10cm

The largest possible volume V is ;

V = l^2 × h

V = 20^2 × 10 = 4000cm^3

What is the following quotient? 1 divided by 1+ square root 3
ollegr [7]

Answer:

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{3}}

In order to simplify this expression we have to multiply and divide it with the conjugate of the denominator i.e multiply and divide the entire expression with 1-\sqrt{3}, as shown below:

\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{3}}\\=\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1-\sqrt{3}}\\=\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{(1)^{2}-(\sqrt{3})^{2}}\\\\ =\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{1-3}\\\\ =\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{-2}\\\\ =\frac{-1(1-\sqrt{3})}{2}\\\\ =\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2}

Thus, 4th option gives the correct answer.

Convert the decimal expansion 0.1777 into a rational number
Helen [10]

Answer:

The rational form of the given number 0.1777  = \frac{1777}{10,000}

Step-by-step explanation:

The rational number is expressed as a number on the form of (\frac{p}{q} ) , q \neq 0

Now,here the given number in decimal form = 0.1777

To remove the decimal, firstly count the number of digits AFTER DECIMAL.

Here, number of digits after decimal = 4

SO, the decimal can be removed and replaced by 1 , by dividing with 1,0000.

\implies 0.1777  = \frac{01,777} {10,000}  = \frac{1777}{10,000}

Hence, the rational form of the given number 0.1777  = \frac{1777}{10,000}

Is y=x squared +2 a linear function
ollegr [7]
No, this would not be a linear function. Being linear means it creates a straight line, but this function has an x squared. Anytime x^2 is in a function, the graph is a u shape, called a parabola. A simple linear function is y=x :D
