Answer:

You can use similar processes when converting from smaller to larger units. When converting a larger unit to a smaller one, you multiply; when you convert a smaller unit to a larger one, you divide. Here is an example..

A manufacturer wants to make open tin boxes from pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in. by cutting equal squares from the
Stells [14]

Answer:

\frac{5}{3} in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the side of square.

Length of box=8-2x

Width of box=15-2x

Height of box=x

Volume of box=L\times B\times H

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of box=V(x)=(8-2x)(15-2x)x=(15x-2x^2)(8-2x)

V(x)=120x-30x^2-16x^2+4x^3

V(x)=4x^3-46x^2+120x

Differentiate w.r.t x

V'(x)=12x^2-92x+120

V'(x)=0

12x^2-92x+120=0

3x^2-23x+30=0

3x^2-18x-5x+30=0

3x(x-6)-5(x-6)=0

(x-6)(3x-5)=0

x-6=0\implies x=6

3x-5=0\implies x=\frac{5}{3}

Again differentiate w.r.t x

V''(x)=24x-92

Substitute x=6

V''(6)=24(6)-92=52>0

Substitute x=5/3

V''(5/3)=24(5/3)-92=-52

Hence, the volume is maximum at x=\frac{5}{3}

Therefore, the side of the square ,x=\frac{5}{3} in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.

A line passes through (−1, 7) and (2, 10).
Pachacha [2.7K]
The slope m of a line through points A(x_1, y_1) and B(x_2, y_2)  is given by :<span>

\displaystyle{m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}&#10;



Thus, the slope of the line passing through points </span><span>(−1, 7) and (2, 10) is 

</span>\displaystyle{m= \frac{10-7}{2-(-1)}= \frac{3}{3}=1
<span>

The equation of a line with slope m passing through a point P(a, b) is given by
                                        (y-b)=m(x-a).


We can consider any of the points (-1, 7), or (2, 10). Let's choose (2, 10):

                                        y-10=1(x-2)
                                        y-10=x-2
                                           y-x=-2+10
                                           y-x=8
                                       

  Answer: </span><span>C. −x+y=8</span>

What two numbers multiply to 20 and add up to 17
Shalnov [3]
That is not possible, since 20 has the factors of 1,2,4,5,10, and 20. None of those add up to 17, maybe your question has a mistake in it. For further questions, you can message me. Hope this helps! Please rate brainiest answer.
