6 0

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula when given two points

m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 3-7)/(2 - -2)

   = (3-7)/( 2+2)

   = -4/4

    = -1

<span>Part I: Determining Dimensions

Arnold has been given a 6 foot by 6 foot sheet of cardboard to make an open box by cutting an equal size square from each corner, folding up the resulting flaps, and taping at the corners. Your task is to label dimensions on a sketch with the same size variable cut from each corner.

*You don't have to draw one, just explain what it would look like*


Answer:

Base of the box:

     it is a square
     side of the base = 6 foot - x - x. = 6 - 2x

Height of the box: x

Part II: Analyze

How does each variable expression relate to the length, width, and height of the box when folded?

Answer:

length = width = 6 - 2x
height = x


Part III: Extend your Findings
a. Based upon the variables you used in Part II, write a product for the volume.

Answer:

Volume = area of the base × height


Volume = (6 - 2x)² x

b. Expand the product to write a volume function.

Answer:

Volume = (36 - 24x + 4x²)x

Volume = 36x - 24x² + 4x³


c. What domain makes sense for the volume?

Answer:

Since x is a physical dimension x is greater than 0

Since the lenght of the cardboarc sheet is 6 and two squares are cut off, x has to be less than 3

So, the domain is (0, 3)


d. Guess and check values to find the size cut that produces a maximum volume.
*Six guesses are required*

Answer:

x              </span>Volume = 36x - 24x² + 4x³

0.1           36(0.1) - 24(0.1)² + 4(0.1)³ = 3.36
0.5           36(0.5) - 24(0.5)² + 4(0.5)³ = 12.5
1.0           36 - 24 + 4 = 16
1.5           36(1.5) - 24(1.5)² + 4(1.5)³ = 13.5
2.0           36(2) - 24(2)² + 4(2)³ = 8
1.7           36(1.7) - 24(1.7)² + 4 (1.7)³ = 11.49
1.2           36(1.2) - 24(1.2)² + 4(1.2)³ = 15.55

Then you can guess that the maximum volume is pretty close to 16 and it is whenx is close to 1.

Francisco had a rectangular piece of wrapping paper that was 13 2/3 inches on two sides and 17 inches on the longer sides.
vivado [14]
Francisco's wrapping paper measurements
13 2/3×2=27 1/3
17×2=34

Monica's wrapping paper measurements

basically Monica's measurements are 2× more than Francisco's, so if 2 of the sides equal 34 inches each the other 2 sides are 27 1/3 each

<h3>Answer: 10.5 units</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Both AB and XY are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively. So we have one fraction of AB/XY = 2/7.

AC and XZ are the first and last letters of ABC and XYZ respectively. We can form another fraction AC/XZ. I'm dividing in the same order of small over large to keep things consistent. As you can probably guess, the order of the letters ABC and XYZ are important so we see how the angles match up and how the proportional sides match up.

Because the triangles are similar, the two fractions formed earlier are equal to one another.

The equation we need to solve is AB/XY = AC/XZ

-----

AB/XY = AC/XZ

2/7 = 3/N ... plug in given values

2N = 7*3 .... cross multiply

2N = 21

N = 21/2 .... divide both sides by 2

N = 10.5

ZX is 10.5 units long.
