A bag contains A markers, 3/8 of which are red. How many other color markers are in the bag?

2 answers:

6 0

8 is the total number of markers in the bag. There are 3 out of 8 that are red. 8-3=5 so there are 5 out of 8 markers that are not red and that are other colors - or 5/8 are other colors.

Answer:

$\frac{5A}{8}$ are the other color markers in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains A markers, $\frac{3}{8}$ of which are red.

Number of red markers = $\frac{3}{8}$ of A

= $\frac{3A}{8}$

Now number of other color markers in the bag = Total markers - number of red markers

Number of other markers = A - $\frac{3A}{8}$

= $\frac{8A-3A}{8}$

= $\frac{5A}{8}$

therefore, $\frac{5A}{8}$ are the other color markers in the bag.

A closed, rectangular-faced box with a square base is to be constructed using only 36 m2 of material. What should the height h a

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$b=h=\sqrt{6}$ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Bas length of box=b

Height of box=h

Material used in constructing of box=36 square m

We have to find the height h and base length b of the box to maximize the volume of box.

Surface area of box= $2b^2+4bh$

$2b^2+4bh=36$

$b^2+2bh=18$

$2bh=18-b^2$

$h=\frac{18-b^2}{2b}$

Volume of box, V= $b^2h$

Substitute the values

$V=b^2\times \frac{18-b^2}{2b}$

$V=\frac{1}{2}(18b-b^3)$

Differentiate w. r.t b

$\frac{dV}{db}=\frac{1}{2}(18-3b^2)$

$\frac{dV}{db}=0$

$\frac{1}{2}(18-3b^2)=0$

$\implies 18-3b^2=0$

$\implies 3b^2=18$

$b^2=6$

$b=\pm \sqrt{6}$

$b=\sqrt{6}$

The negative value of b is not possible because length cannot be negative.

Again differentiate w.r.t b

$\frac{d^2V}{db^2}=-3b$

At $b=\sqrt{6}$

$\frac{d^2V}{db^2}=-3\sqrt{6}$

Hence, the volume of box is maximum at $b=\sqrt{6}$ .

$h=\frac{18-(\sqrt{6})^2}{2\sqrt{6}}$

$h=\frac{18-6}{2\sqrt{6}}$

$h=\frac{12}{2\sqrt{6}}$

$h=\sqrt{6}$

$b=h=\sqrt{6}$ m
