Answer:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 12 inches
Width: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the side length of the square
The height of the box by cutting squares off :x
- The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
- The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
The new volume of it is:
V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x
<=> V = 
To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume
<=> 
<=> 
<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0
<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6
To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate
= 24x -88
= 24(3/2) -88 = -52
= 24(35/6) -88 = 52
We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.
So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches
Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches

Let the number be n. Then 2n - ------- = 1
n
Mult all 3 terms by n to elim. the fractions:
2n^2 - 3 = n. Rearranging this, we get 2n^2 - n - 3 = 0.
We need to find the roots (zeros or solutions) of this quadratic equation.
Here a=2, b= -1 and c= -3. Let's find the discriminant b^2-4ac first:
disc. = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-3) = 1 + 24 = 25.
That's good, because 25 is a perfect square.
-(-1) plus or minus 5 1 plus or minus 5
Then x = ------------------------------ = --------------------------
2(2) 4
x could be 6/4 = 3/2, or -5/4.
You must check both answers in the original equation. If the equation is true for one or the other or for both, then you have found one or more solutions.</span>

Altogether 163,500
Answer:
A.) Blocking occurs in an experiment when a certain experimental unit is divided or split into groups based on a certain criteria. In the experiment above, the experiment was blocked for class of runner, either professional or recreational. This is essential in other to limit the possible variability in our experiment. It is very possible thatvtve response of each class of runner may differ, therefore, it good practice to block for class of runner in other to contain the variation.
B.) Randomizing the type of shoe being worn by the runner ensures that we have given each runner an equal chance of selecting any type of shoe available,thereby eliminating biases which might emanate from fixing shoe type for each runner.
C.) Replication could simply be defined as the application of a certain treatment on more than one experimental unit. In the experiment above, by blocking for class of runner, hence having the professional and recreational units, and treatment applied to each experimental unit, Hence giving the experimenter the chance of controlling variation in the experiment.
