A rectangular sheet of tin measures 20 inches by 12 inches. suppose you cut a square out of each corner and fold up the sides to make an open-topped box. what size square should you cut out to maximize the box's volume? show all work to earn credit.

Answers

Answer 1

The volume of the box is maximized when a 6 x 6 inch or 10 x 10 inch square is cut from the corners of the rectangular sheet.

Volume of rectangle:

The volume of an object is the amount of space occupied by the object or shape, which is in three-dimensional space. It is usually measured in terms of cubic units.

The formula for Volume of the rectangle is

V = l x b x h

where

l represents the length

b represents the breadth

h represents the height.

Given,

A rectangular sheet of tin measures 20 inches by 12 inches. suppose you cut a square out of each corner and fold up the sides to make an open-topped box.

Here we need to find the volume of the box is maximized when a square is cut from the corners of the rectangular sheet.

Here we have the following values:

h = x

l = 20 - 2x

b = 12 - 2x.

Here we have to subtract two times of x value because in the question they said that we have to cut a square from it.

Apply the values on the volume formula then we get,

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

=> V = [240 - 40x - 24x + 4x²] x (x)

=> V = [240x - 64x² + 4x³]

Now differentiate:

=> V' =  240 - 64x + 4x²

Simplify and order the equation,

Then we get,

=> V' = x² - 16x + 60

When we factorize the equation then we get,

=> V' = x² - 6x - 10x + 60

Take the common term out of it,

=> V' = x (x-6) -10(x -6)

Therefore, the value of x is, either 6 or 10.

Now you need to look at your solutions.

At x=6, the volume is,

=> V = (20 - 2(6)) x (12 - 2(6)) x (6)

=> V = (20 - 12) x (12 - 12) x 6

=> V = 8  x 0 x 6

=> V = 0

our corner squares devour the entire piece of cardboard and you are left with zero volume; so that solution is a minimum.

Now at the value of x = 10,

The volume is

=> V = (20 - 2(10) x (12 - 2(10)) x (10)

=> V = (20 - 20) x (12 - 20) x 10

=> V = 0 x (-8) x 10

=> V = 0

So, in both cases we have 0 as minimum volume. So, we can take any one of the value to get the maximum out of it.

6-6x=7x-9x-18 the value of x

Answers

Answer:

X = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

6-6X = 7X -9X -18  Combine 7x -9x

6 - 6x = -2x -18  Add 6x to both sides of the equation

6 = 4x - 18  Add 18 to both sides of the equation

24 = 4x  Divide both sides by 4

6 = x

Check:

6-6X = 7X -9X -18

6 - 6(6) = 7(6) -9(6) -18

6 - 36 = 42 - 54 -18

Answers

The value of the exponent equation [tex]\frac{8}{125} ^{-2/3}[/tex] is 25/4 or 6.25.

According to the question the exponent equation that we have been given is :

          [tex]\frac{8}{125} ^{-2/3}[/tex]

First, we will change the negative sign of the exponent and to change the negative sign of the exponent we will reciprocal the fraction that is

        = [tex]\frac{125}{8} ^{2/3}[/tex]

Which is also equal to

  =   [tex]{125} ^{-2/3}/8^{2/3}[/tex]

Now we know that 5³ =125 and 2³ = 8. Thus replacing the numerator and denominator by it we get,

  =  [tex](5^{3}) ^{2/3}/(2^{3}) ^{2/3}[/tex]

  =  5²/2²

  = 25/4

  = 6.25

Javid makes a large container of fruit juice by mixing orange juice and mango juice in the ratio 3:7 Orange juice costs £6 per 4 litres. Mango juice costs £5 per 10 litres.Javid sells his fruit juice in 2-litre bottles for £2 per bottle. Calculate how much profit he makes for each bottle he sells.​

Answers

Javid will make a profit of £ 0.40 for each bottle sold.

How much profit does Javid makes for each bottle he sells?

The orange juice capacity to mango juice capacity ratio, the unit cost for each juice and the end product price. First, determine the amount of orange juice and mango juice to produce a 2-litre bottle:

Orange juice capacity

x = (3 / 10) × 2 L

x = 0.6 L

Mango juice

y = (7 / 10) × 2 L

y = 1.4 L

Second, calculate the cost of each juice by simple rule of three:

Orange juice

x' = (0.6 L / 4 L) × 6 GBP

x' = 0.90 GBP

Mango juice

y' = (1.4 L / 10 L) × 5 GBP

y' = 0.70 GBP

Third, add the two results found in the previous step and find the production cost for a 2-litre bottle:

z = x' + y'

z = 0.90 GBP + 0.70 GBP

z = 1.60 GBP

Fourth, calculate the profit by subtracting the result found in the previous step to the end product price:

z' = 2 GBP - 1.60 GBP

z' = 0.40 GBP

Javid will make a profit of £ 0.40 for each bottle sold.

For the following equation of the line: y = (1/5)x + 1, y = (1/5)x + 5, y = 5x + 1, and y = 5x + 5, the line that is perpendicular to it and has the same y - intercept is: y = -5x + 1, y = -5x + 5, y = (-1/5)x + 1, and y = (-1/5)x + 5, respectively.

If two equations of the line are perpendicular with each other, then their slopes are negative reciprocal of one another.

To generate the equation of the line perpendicular to the given lines, with the same y-intercept,

1. Get the slope of each line and determine its y-intercept

2. Take the negative reciprocal of the slope and use it and the same y-intercept to get the equation.

h(x) = 18 - 9x + x4, evaluate h(2)

Answers

The value of h(2) for the function h(x) = 18 - 9x + x^4 is 16.

According to the given question.

We have a function h(x) = 18 - 9x + x^4

Here, we have to find the value of h(2). For this we will substiute x = 2 in the function h(x) = 18 - 9x + x^4.

Therefore, the value of h(2) for the function h(x) = 18 - 9x + x^4 is given by

h(x) = 18 - 9x + x^4

h(2) = 18 - 9(2) + 2^4

h(2) = 18 - 18 + 16

h(2) = 16

Hence, the value of h(2) for the function h(x) = 18 - 9x + x^4 is 16.

It stands for B - Brackets, O - Order of powers or roots, D - Division, M - Multiplication, A - Addition, and S - Subtraction. It means that expressions having multiple operators need to be simplified from left to right in this order only. First, we solve brackets, then powers or roots, then division or multiplication (whichever comes first from the left side of the expression), and then finally, subtraction or addition, whichever comes on the left side.

Using the BODMAS rule, we solve bracket first,
