An open box is to be made out of a 12-inch by 20-inch piece of cardboard by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corners and bending up the sides. Find the dimensions of the resulting box that has the largest volume.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 15.14, width = 7.14 and height = 2.43  inches.

( correct to the nearest hundredth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths of the squares cut out be x inches.

Then the width of the box will be 12 - 2x and the length will be

20 - 2x inches.

The height of the box is x inches.

Volume V = x(20-2x)(12-2x)

To find the value of x when V is a maximum we find the derivative and equate it to zero.

V = x( 240 - 64x + 4x^2)

V = 4x^3 - 64x^2 + 240x

dV/dx = 12x^2 - 128x + 240 = 0

4(3x^2 - 32x + 60) = 0

This won't factor so we use the formula:

x = [-(-32) +/- √((-32)^2 - 4*3*60)] / 6

= 8.24, 2.43.

So one of these gives a maximum Volume.

The second derivative

d^2V/dx^2 = 24x - 128

When x = 8.24,  this = 69.6 (positive) so this gives a minimum.

x = 2.43 gives a negative  value ( -49.7)  so this is the maximum

So the dimensions are:-

length = 20 - 2(2.43) = 15.14

width = 12 - 2(2.43) = 7.14

height = 2.43.

A right triangle has one 28° and one 90°. What is the measurement of the third angle?

Answers

Answer:

The third measurement is 62°

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! Please take a look at the explanation for clear understanding to the answer and also let me know in comment if you have any doubts!

Euclidean Triangle

The theorem regarding it states that, sum of all 3 interior angles must equal to 180°.

That means, we will have this equation:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{28^{\circ} + 90^{\circ} + x=180^{\circ}}[/tex] because we know two interior angles and one missing angle - sum of them equals to 180 degrees.

Then we solve for x-term to find the third measurement!

[tex]\displaystyle \large{118^{\circ}+x=180^{\circ}}[/tex]

Subtract both sides by 118 degrees.

[tex]\displaystyle \large{118^{\circ}-118^{\circ}+x=180^{\circ}-118^{\circ}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{x=62^{\circ}}[/tex]

Henceforth, the third measurement is 62°

What is the cost of the hot dog?
What is the cost of one hamburger?pleaseeeee hellpppppp

Answers

Answer:

1 hot dog = $1.50 each

1 hamburger = $1.75 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The prices must be $1.50 and $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

For instance, seven hot dogs and two hamburgers cost $14: 7D+2B=14

We also know that two hot dogs and seven hamburgers cost $15.25: 2D+7B=15.25

Now, if we combine these two equations, we have a system where EVERYTHING has to be true at the same time 

7D+2B=14

2D+7B=15.25

From here there are a couple trick you should know to solve a system of equation, especially substitution and elimination. I see a coefficient of 2, so I'd rather use substitution by dividing the entire first equation in half:

3.5D+B=7

Now I'll solve for B

B=7-3.5D

Now that I've solved for a variable, I can substitute the solution into the other equation

2D+7(    B   )=15.25

becomes

2D+7(7-3.5D)=15.25

Now I can distribute and solve for D:

 

2D+49-24.5D=15.25

22.5D=33.75

D=1.5

 

Now we can replace D from either (or both) of our original equations and see what B has to be

7(1.5)+2B=14

10.5+2B=14

2B=3.5

B=1.75

2(1.5)+7B=15.25

3+7B=15.25

7B=12.25

B=1.75

The prices must be $1.50 and $1.75. The most important part of all this is setting up the equations, the rest is just being careful with your calculations.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the last 2 answer options are completely useless and outright nonsense, because all limits are going against +4.

so, an asymptote at x = -4 is not an option anywhere.

g(x) is always y, and the limit of the function is the limit of the y values.

we just evaluate for what x value is then y reaching that limit. but the sign of the y limit has no direct impact on the sign of the x value.

it is true that the case x = -4 needs to be checked too, but it turns out this just delivers g(-4) = 0.

now, about x = 4 :

when coming from the left side of +4 (increasing x), what is the sign of the function ?

we can simply use x = 3 to test this :

g(3) = 2(3+4)²/(3² - 16) = 2×49/-7

so, it is negative.

that means when getting closer and closer to +4 coming from that side we what get negative values, and the limit is -infinity.

when coming from the right side of +4 (decreasing x), what is the sign of the function ?

we can simply use x = 5 to test this :

g(3) = 2(5+4)²/(5² - 16) = 2×81/9

so, it is positive.

that means when getting closer and closer to +4 coming from that side we what get positive values, and the limit is +infinity.

so, the second answer option is correct.

because of these y limits, there is a vertical asymptote at x = 4 that kind of "connects" -infinity and +infinity in y direction at that location and symbolizes the limits of y.

9.3 x and 60 degrees are all related to the Tangent of L or Tan(L) as you would find it on your calculator.

Givens

Opposite = 9.3Adjacent = xTheta = 60

Formula

Tan(60) = opposite / Adjacent                Substitute Values

Solution

Tan(60) = 9.3 /  x                                      Multiply both sides by x

x*Tan(60) = x * 9.3 /x              

x* Tan(60) = 9.3                                         Divide both sides by Tan(60)

x * Tan(60) / Tan(60) = 9.3/Tan(60)

x = 9.3 / 1.7321
