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

Semenov [28]
The only thing you should do is to divide 3,072 by 96 and the answer is 32.
So each of them should read 32 books :)))
