Answer:

A. 4x + h

B. 4x + h = 78

V = x²h

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The length plus girth

X +x+x+x +h

= 4x +h

2. Constraint equation

4x + h = 78 ----(1)

Objective function

Volume = v = x*x*h

V = x²h ----(2)

3. Quantity as function of x

From equation 1 in answer part b

4x+h = 78

We make h subject

h = 78-4x

We put values of h in equation 2 in part b

V = x²h

V = x²(78-4x)

V = 78x²-4x³

To get values of x and h

V = 78x²-4x³

Dv/dx = 0

= 156x - 12x²

156x = 12x²

Divide through by 12x

156x/12x = 12x²/12x

x = 13

h = 78-4x

h = 78 - 4(13)

h = 78 - 52

h = 26 inches

The black graph is the graph of y=f(x). Choose the equation for the red graph.<br> Please help me!!!
dusya [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The red graph is a horizontal translation of 5 units left followed by a reflection in the x- axis.

Given f(x) then f(x + a) is a horizontal translation of f(x)

• If a > 0 then a shift to the left of a units

• If a < 0 then a shift to the right of a units

The black graph is shifted 5 units left, thus

f(x) → f(x + 5)

Under a reflection in the x- axis

a point (x, y ) → (x, - y )

Note that the y- coordinate of the image is the negative of the original

Note also that \frac{y}{-1} = - y, thus

\frac{y}{-1} = f(x + 5) → B
