A box with a square base and an open top is being constructed out of A cm2 of material. If the volume of the box is to be maximi

zed, what should the side length of the base be? What should the height of the box be? What is the maximal volume of the box? Your answers should be in terms of A.

Answer:

Side length = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm ,   Height =  \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } cm  ,  Volume = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }  cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume

Side length of base = x

Height of box = y

total material required to construct box = A ( given in question)

So it can be written as

A = x² + 4xy

4xy = A - x²

  1. y = \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x}

Volume of box = Area x height

V = x² ₓ y

V = x² ₓ ( \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x} )

V =  \frac{Ax - x^{3} }{4}

To find max volume put V' = 0

So taking derivative equation becomes

\frac{A - 3 x^{2} }{4} = 0

A = 3 x^{2}

x^{2} = \frac{A}{3}

x = \sqrt{\frac{A}{3\\} }

put value of x in equation 1

y = \frac{A - \frac{A}{3} }{4\sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }  

y = \frac{2 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }{4 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }

y = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} }

So the volume will be

V = x^{2} × y

Put values of x and y from equation 2 & 3

V = \frac{A}{3} (\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } )

V = \frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }

Question 15
Ostrovityanka [42]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A  f(n)=8(0.75)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

After the first bounce, the height is 8·0.75 = 6 ft. Each subsequent bounce multiplies the previous height by 0.75, so the height after n bounces is ...

  f(n) = 8·0.75^n . . . . matches choice A

one endpoint of AB has coordinates (-3,5) If the coordinates of the midpoint of AB are (2,-6),what is the length of AB?
avanturin [10]
We know that (-3,5) is the location of one of the endpoints.... and we know the midpoint is at (2,-6)... .now.. what's the distance between those two guys?

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&({{ -3}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ -6}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[2-(-3)]^2+[-6-5]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+3)^2+(-6-5)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{5^2+(-11)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{25+121}\implies d=\sqrt{146}

so, the distance "d" from the midpoint to that endpoint is that much.  And the distance from the midpoint to the other endpoint is the same "d" distance, because the midpoint is half-way in between both endpoints.

so, the length of AB is twice that distance, or   \bf 2\sqrt{146}
