Jane needs open-topped boxes to store her excess inventory at year's end. She purchases large
rectangles of thick cardboard with a length of 12 inches and width of 8 inches to make the boxes.
She is interested in maximizing the volume of the boxes and wants to know what size squares to
cut out at each corner of the cardboard (which will allow the corners to be folded up to form the
box) to do this. What is the maximum volume?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1,6 in   ( the side of the corner squares )

V(max) = 67,58 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardboard is:

L = 12 in          w  =  8 in

Let´s call "x" the side of the square from the corner:

Then the sides of the base of the open box are:

( L - 2*x )    and    ( w - 2*x )     and   x is the height

( 12  -  2*x )  and  ( w  - 2*x )

V(ob) = (L - 2*x ) * (  - 2*x ) * x

Wich is a function of x

V(x) = [( 12 - 2*x ) * ( 8 - 2*x ) ]*x

V(x) = ( 96 - 24*x - 16*x + 4*x²) * x

V(x) = 96*x - 40*x² + 4*x³

Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 12*x² - 80*x + 96

V´(x) = 0     12*x² - 80*x + 96 = 0

Solving for x

x₁,₂ = 80 ± √ 6400 - 4608 / 24

x₁,₂ = 80 ± 42,33 / 24

x₁ = 5,10       We dismiss this solution since 2*x  becomes 2*5,10 = 10,20

ant this value is bigger than 8 inches

x₂ = 1,60 in

Therefore dimensions of the box

a = 12 - 2*x     ;  a =  12 - 3,20  ;  a = 8,8 in

b = 8 - 2*x   ; b = 8 - 3,20  ; b =  4,80  in

And the volume of the open box is:

V(max) = 8,8*4,8*1,6

V(max)  =  67,58 in³

How do we Know that is the maximun value for V?

We find  V´´(x)  = 24*x - 80     for  x = 1,6 is negative ( V´´(x) = - 41,6 therefore V (x) has  a local maximun for a value of x = 1,6

Hey girl! It's me again to explain this to you :)

Number 21.) If we start from our y-intercept -2 and move up 2 on our y-axis we get to point (0,0). If we move over 1 space to the right, we are on (1,0), which is the x-intercept.

Slope: 2/1 or just 2

Y-intercept: -2

You didn't ask for this but i'm gonna write it anyways. The equation for this line is y=2x-2

Number 22.) If we start from our y-intercept 2 and move down 2 on your y-axis we get to point (0,0). If we move over 1 space to the right, we are on (1,0), which is the x-intercept.

There are a total of 120 bicycles and tricycles in a shop. There are 302 wheels in allmany bicycles and how many tricycles are in the shop?

Answers

Answer: There are  62 tricycles in the shop.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of wheels in a bicycle = 2

Number of wheels in a tricycle = 3

Let x = Number of bicycles , y = Number of tricycles.

As per given , we have

x+y =120       (i)

2x+3y=302       (ii)

Multiplying 2 on both sides of (i)

2x+2y=240      (iii)

Subtract (iii) from (ii) , we get

y= 62

Put value of y in (i) , we get

[tex]x+62=120\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=120-62\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 58[/tex]

Hence, there are 58 bicycles and 62 tricycles in the shop.

What is the annual interest for a principal of $3,500 at a simple annual interest
rate of 2.3%?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given principal p =$3500

Time t =1 year

Rate of interest r =2.3%

So annual interest=p×r×t/100

=3500×2×2.3/100

=7000×2.3/100

=16100/100

=161.

So annual interest is $161

1. A restaurant supplier services the restaurants in a circular area in such way that the radius r is increasing at the rate of 2 miles per year at the moment when r = 5 miles. How fast is the area increasing?

Answers

Answer:

A= π*r²

dA/dt= π*r*dr/dt

dA/dt= π*5*2= 10π km/yr

Using implicit differentiation, it is found that the area is increasing at a rate of 62.8 miles squared per year.

The area of a circle of radius r is given by:

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

Applying implicit differentiation, the rate of change is given by:

[tex]A = 2r\pi \frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

In this problem:

Radius increasing at a rate of 2 miles per year, hence [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = 2[/tex].Moment of a radius of 5 miles, hence [tex]r = 5[/tex].

Then:

[tex]A = 2r\pi \frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]A = 2(5)\pi(2)[/tex]

[tex]A = 62.8[/tex]

The area is increasing at a rate of 62.8 miles squared per year.
