A baker is folding up open-topped boxes to package up her baked goods. She has

flat, rectangular pieces of cardboard that are 10 inches by 6 inches. She wants to

maximize the volume of the box. What size squares should she cut from the corners

of the cardboard?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

She should cut 1.21 inches (or a square of area 1.46 inch²) from 4 corners to get the maximum volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = L = 10 inches

Width = W = 6 inches

Suppose x is cut from the 4 corners to make a box.

Dimensions of the Box:

L= 10 - 2x

W = 6 - 2x

H = x

Volume of the Box:

V = (L)(W)(H)

V = (10-2x)(6-2x)(x)

V = 4x³ -  32x² + 60x

For Maximum value:

[tex]\frac{dV}{dx}=0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(4x^3-32x+60x)\\\frac{dV}{dx}=12x^2-64x+60\\12x^2-64x+60 = 0[/tex]

The values of x found are:

x= 4.12 , x = 1.21

If we put x= 4.12 in W= 6-2x , the value of width becomes negative, so that is not possible.

We discard 4.12. Now x=1.21

So,

If 1.21 inches are cut from 4 corners, or a square of 1.21*1.21 = 1.46 inch² is cut from 4 corners, we get the maximum value of V

please answer asap! A couple plans to have 5 children. The gender of each child is equally likely. Design a simulation involving 125 trials that you can use to model the genders of the children. Write your answers as numbers.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.

How much water can a rectangular pool hold if it has a length of 30 feet, a width of 25 feet, and is 8 feet deep?

Answers

Answer:

44,886 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the volume

V = l*w*h

V = 30ft*25ft*8ft

V =6000 ft^3

We know that 1 ft^3 = 7.481 gallons

6000 ft^3 * 7.481 gallons/1 ft^3 = 44886 gallons

Answer:

44,883 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of water the pool can hold can be found by calculating the volume of the pool.

We know that the pool is rectangular, and it is a three dimensional shape (3 dimensions: length, width and depth). Therefore, we can use the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism:

V=l*w*h

We know the length is 30 feet and the width is 25 feet. The height is also the depth, so the height is 8 feet.

l= 30 feet

w=25 feet

h= 8 feet

Substitute these values into the formula.

V= 30 feet * 25 feet * 8 feet

Multiply the numbers together.

V= (30 feet * 25 feet) * 8 feet

V= 750 feet^2 * 8 feet

V=6000 feet^3

Now, let's find how many gallons the pool can hold.

1 ft^3 is equal to 7.4805 gallons. Therefore, we can multiply 6000 ft^3 and 7.4805

6000 ft^3 * 7.4805 gallons/1 ft^3

6000* 7.4805 gallons

44,883 gallons

The pool can hold 44,883 gallons of water.

The perimeter of the given triangle is

Answers

Answer:

~73.68

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle with one angle = 45 deg

=> Isosceles right triangle

=> a = b = hypotenuse/sqrt(2) = (12sqrt(2))/sqrt(2) = 12

In other right triangle with 3 sides are a, c, and d, we have:

sin (30 deg) = a/d

=> d = a/sin(30 deg) = 12/(1/2) = 12 x 2 = 24

Othwise, cosine (30 deg) = c/d

=> c = d x cos(30 deg) = 24 x sqrt(3)/2 = 12sqrt(3)

=> The perimeter of the biggest triangle is calculated by:

P = 12sqrt(2) + b + c + d = 12sqrt(2) + 12 + 12sqrt(3) + 24 = ~73.68

Answer: D. All interior angles and all sides are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a regular polygon, then all angles and sides have to be congruent.

The interior angles aren’t congruent to the exterior angles.

Not all angles have to be congruent, in regular or irregular.

Since this polygon has 25 sides, opposite pairs aren’t parallel because there are an odd number of sides. That means there are no opposite pairs.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle A B C is shown. Angle B C A is a right angle. The length of hypotenuse A B is 26, the length of A C is 10, and the length of B C is 24. Given right triangle ABC, what is the value of tan(A)? Five-thirteenths Twelve-thirteenths Twelve-fifths Thirteen-twelfths

Answers

Answer:

The right option is twelve-fifths

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a right angle triangle ABC as shown in the diagram. If ∠BCA = 90°, the hypotenuse AB = 26, AC = 10 and BC = 24.

Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry identity, SInce we are to find tanA, we will use TOA. According to TOA;

Tan (A) = opp/adj

Taken BC as opposite side since it is facing angle A directly and AC as the adjacent;

tan(A) = BC/AC

tan(A) = 24/10

tan(A) = 12/5

The right option is therefore twelve-fifths

The correct answer is option C. 12/5

Answers

Answer:

3.4 yd^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is

V = l*w*h

V = 2 4/5 * 2 * 3/5

Changing the mixed number to an improper fraction

2 4/5 = ( 5*2+4)/5 = 14/5

V =  14/5 * 2 * 3/5

  = 84/25

Changing back to a mixed number

3*25 = 75 with 9 left over

3 9/25

3.36 yd^3

To the nearest tenth

3.4 yd^3

Answer: 3.4 yards cubed, after rounding.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, use the following formula:

[tex]V = wlh[/tex], where w is the width, l is the length, and h is the height

Substitute the values given to you into the formula:

[tex]V = 2 * \frac{3}{5} * 2\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Simplify the mixed number by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 2/1 by 5 to get 10/5 and add it to the fraction to get 14/5.

[tex]V = \frac{2}{1} * \frac{3}{5} * \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators of the fractions and simplify:

[tex]V = \frac{2 * 3 * 14}{5 * 5}\\\\V = \frac{84}{25}\\\\\\V = 3.36[/tex]

The volume is 3.36 yards cubed. Round to the nearest tenth to get 3.4 yards cubed.

At which root does the graph of f(x) = (x – 5)3(x + 2)2 touch the x-axis?
-5
-2
Ο Ο Ο Ο
2
5

Answers

Answer:

At x = -2 the graph of this polynomial will touch the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the behavior difference between power functions of even and odd power. Odd powers are associated with the crossing of the x-axis, while even powers are associated with "touching" of the x axis.

in this cases, since they give you the function in factor form, the actual roots (x-values where the function adopts value zero) of the function are evident :

[tex]f(x)=(x-5)^3\, (x+2)^2[/tex]

It has a root at x = 5 [notice that at such x-value the factor (x-5) becomes zero], and this root is of multiplicity "3" (given by the power associated with the binomial factor for this root)

and has another root at x = -2  [notice that at such x-value the factor (x+2) becomes zero], and this root is of multiplicity "2" (given by the power associated with the binomial factor for it)

It is just the second root analyzed the one that shows an even power (2) associated to its binomial factor, and therefore it is at x= -2 that the graph of this function will show as "touching" the x axis.

negative (5 minus (a + 1)) = 9 minus (5 minus (2a minus 3)) can be expressed mathematically as follows.

using the principle of PEMDAS, all the parenthesis values are first solved

- (5 - a - 1) = 9 - (5 - 2a + 3)

-5 + a + 1 = 9 - 5 + 2a - 3
