Answer: labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The labor force participation rate is computed as

\text{labor force participation rate}=\dfrac{\text{Total employed persons}}{\text{Total population}}

i.e. \text{labor force participation rate}= \dfrac{72000}{120000}

= 0.6\ or\ 60 \%

The unemployment rate is computed as:

\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{\text{Number of personsdon't have jobs }}{\text{Total population}}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=\dfrac{8000}{120000}\\\\\text{unemployment rate}=0.0667\ or\ 6.67\%

Hence, labor force participation rate  =60%

unemployment rate = 6.67%

anygoal [31]

Answer:

This is a classical problem which has delighted calculus students down through the ages.

We first express the volume of the box as a function of x, the side of the square which is cut out of each corner.

The resulting box will have a base which is a square which all of whose sides will have length 12 - 2x. The height of the box will be x. Therefore, the volume will be

V = (12 - 2x)2x

= 144x - 48x2 + 4x3

Step-by-step explanation:
