A lidless box is constructed by cutting a square with side length x from a rectangular sheet of paper with dimensions a x b. After the cut is removed, the sides are folded up to form the
box.
a) Find the value of x (in terms of a and b) that maximizes the volume of the box.
b) Find the value of x that maximizes the volume of the box when a = 8.5 inches and b= 11 inches.
Answer:
a) [tex]x =\dfrac{a+b -\sqrt{(a + b)^2 - 3\cdot a \cdot b} }{6}[/tex]
b) The volume of the box is maximized when 'x' is approximately 1.585 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let 'a' represent the length of the rectangular sheet of paper and let 'b' represent the with of the rectangular sheet of paper, we have;
The length of the side of the square cut from the corners of the rectangular sheet of paper = x
The length of the box formed after cutting the square sides are;
The length of the box, l = a - 2·x
The width of the box, w = b - 2·x
The height of the box, h = x
The volume of the box, V = l × w × h = (a - 2·x)·(b - 2·x)·x = 4·x³ - 2·a·x² - 2·b·x² + a·b·x
The value of 'x' that gives the maximum volume of the box is given by finding the extremum of the volume, 'V', of the box as follows;
At the extremum, dV/dx = 0
∴ d(4·x³ - 2·a·x² - 2·b·x² + a·b·x)/dx = 12·x² - 4·a·x - 4·b·x + a·b = 0
12·x² - 4·(a + b)·x + a·b = 0
[tex]x = \dfrac{4\cdot (a + b) \pm \sqrt{(-4\cdot (a + b) )^2-4 \times12\times a \cdot b } }{2 \times 24} =\dfrac{a+b\pm\sqrt{(a + b)^2 - 3\cdot a \cdot b} }{6}[/tex]
Found from part (b), the value of 'x' (in terms of 'a' and 'b') that maximizes the volume of the box is [tex]x =\dfrac{a+b -\sqrt{(a + b)^2 - 3\cdot a \cdot b} }{6}[/tex]
b), When a = 8.5 inches and b = 11 inches, we have;
x = (8.5 + 11 +√((8.5 + 11)² - 3×8.5×11))/6 = 4.914
x = (8.5 + 11 -√((8.5 + 11)² - 3×8.5×11))/6 ≈ 1.585
We get;
When x = 1.585, V = 4·1.585³ - 2·8.5·1.585² - 2·11·1.585² + 8.5·11·1.585 ≈ 66.15
When x = 4.914, V = 4·4.914³ - 2·8.5·4.914² - 2·11·4.914² + 8.5·11·4.914 ≈ -7.65
Therefore, the value of 'x' that gives the maximum volume of the box is x = (8.5 + 11 -√((8.5 + 11)² - 3×8.5×11))/6 ≈ 1.585
(The value of 'x' in terms of 'a' and 'b' is therefore;
[tex]x =\dfrac{a+b -\sqrt{(a + b)^2 - 3\cdot a \cdot b} }{6}[/tex])
The volume of the box is maximized when, x ≈ 1.585 feet

Answer:
0, -3
Step-by-step explanation:
So remember, when they say reflect over the x intercept, they do not mean to reflect the x value, they mean to reflect over the hirzontal line of the graph.(x axis)
This is the same with reflection over the y intrecept. This doesnt mean y is flipped, this means that whatever point or line you have is reflected over the vertical line on the graph(y axis)
So our orginal value is (0, 3). We need to reflect over the x axis, which means that y will now be -3, since that is the opposite of what we can see when we flip the x axis.
The 0 x, of course, stays the same since its 0.
So your answer is (0, -3)
Hope this helps! :)

Is x=2 a solution to the equation below?
4(x-1)-3(x-2)=-8
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out if 2 is a solution, replace all the x's with 2.
4(2 - 1) - 3(2 - 2) =8
4(1) - 3(0) = 8
4 - 0 = 8
4 = 8
Nope! False! 2 is not a solution.

Below. What is m∠1?
m∠1 =
Answer:
m∠1 = 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Sum of angles on a straight line = 180°
Hence:
180° - 101°
= 79°
Sum of interior angles in a triangle = 180°
Hence
m∠1 = 180° - (79 ° + 31°)
m∠1 = 70°

2x + 2y = -2
3x - 2y = 12
Answer:
Answer:
(2,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 2y = -2
3x - 2y = 12
Add the two equations to eliminate y
2x + 2y = -2
3x - 2y = 12
-----------------------
5x = 10
5x/5 = 10/5
x = 2
Now find y
2x+2y = -2
2(2)+2y = -2
4+2y = -2
Subtract 4 from each side
4-4 +2y = -2-4
2y = -6
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -6/2
y = -3

in a class of 25 students, 18 were math majors, 12 were computer science majors, and 7 were dual majors in math and computer science.
A)How many students were majoring in math only?
B)How many students were not majoring in computer science?
C) how many students were not math or computer science majors?
Answer:
Use n(u) formula of chapter sets
Step-by-step explanation:
Have a good day
11 students were majoring in math only; 13 students were not majoring in computer science; and 2 students were not math or computer science majors.
Given that in a class of 25 students, 18 were math majors, 12 were computer science majors, and 7 were dual majors in math and computer science, to determine A) how many students were majoring in math only; B) how many students were not majoring in computer science; and C) how many students were not math or computer science majors; the following calculation must be performed:
Math majors only = 18 - 7 = 11 Not majoring in computer science = 25 - 12 = 13 Not math or computer science majors = 25 - 7 - 11 - (12 - 7) = 18 - 11 - 5 = 2
Therefore, 11 students were majoring in math only; 13 students were not majoring in computer science; and 2 students were not math or computer science majors.

4. M is the midpoint of XY. If XM = 8-t and MY = 5t-10, find tand XY.
Answer:
XY = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
By the definition of midpoint, XM would be equal to MY, so we can set both equations equal to each other;
XM = MY
8 - t = 5t - 10
=> Now add "t" to both sides of "="
8 = 6t - 10
=> add 10 from each side;
18 = 6t
=> Finally divide 6 on each side
3 = t
Now that we have the value for t, we can substitute 3 in place of "t" in any of the equation above and solve, when we have the answer, multiply it by 2 to get the value for XY.
=> 8 - 3
=> 5
=> XY = 5 * 2
=> XY = 10
