a regular sheet of letter (printing) paper measrues 8.5 inches by 11 inches. you want to cut out squares from each corner that it may be folded up to produce an open - top box. What are the dimensions of the square cut outs that will result in a box of maximum volume

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The dimensions of the square, that will result in a box of maximum volume is a square with side length of approximately 1.585 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The  given dimension of the steel sheet are;

The width = 8.5 inches

The length = 11 inches

Let 'x' represent the side length of the squares cut out, we have;

The length of the box formed, l = 11 - 2·x

The width of the box formed, w = 8.5 - 2·x

The height of the box, h = x

The volume of the box, V = (11 - 2·x) × (8.5 - 2·x) × (x) = 4·x³ - 39·x² + 93.5·x

The maximum or minimum volume is found from dV/dx = 0 at max. or min.

dV/dx = d(4·x³ - 39·x² + 93.5·x)/dx = 12·x² - 78·x + 93.5 = 0

Which gives;

x = (78 ± √((-78)² - 4×12×93.5))/(2 ×12)

x = 4.915 or 1.585

When x = 4.915, V = 4 × 4.915³ - 39 × 4.915² + 93.5 × 4.915 = -7.65

When x = 1.585, V = 4 × 1.585³ - 39 × 1.585² + 93.5 × 1.585 = 66.15

Therefore, the local maximum occurs at x ≈ 1.585

Therefore, the dimensions of the square, 'x' that will result in a box of maximum volume is x ≈ 1.585 inches.

2. (Csc X - CotX)^2 = 1-CosX/1+CosX

These were the last two questions on my Homework that I couldn’t figure out after many tries! Thank you to anyone who helps!

Answers

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1)

We want to verify that:

[tex]\displaystyle \left(\cos(x)\right)\left(\cot(x)\right)=\csc(x)-\sin(x)[/tex]

Note that cot(x) = cos(x) / sin(x). Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \left(\cos(x)\right)\left(\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}\right)=\csc(x)-\sin(x)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\cos^2(x)}{\sin(x)}=\csc(x)-\sin(x)[/tex]

Recall that Pythagorean Identity: sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1 or cos²(x) = 1 - sin²(x). Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1-\sin^2(x)}{\sin(x)}=\csc(x)-\sin(x)[/tex]

Split:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sin(x)}-\frac{\sin^2(x)}{\sin(x)}=\csc(x)-\sin(x)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\csc(x)-\sin(x)=\csc(x)-\sin(x)[/tex]

Problem 2)

We want to verify that:

[tex]\displaystyle (\csc(x)-\cot(x))^2=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Square:

[tex]\displaystyle \csc^2(x)-2\csc(x)\cot(x)+\cot^2(x)=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Convert csc(x) to 1 / sin(x) and cot(x) to cos(x) / sin(x). Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sin^2(x)}-\frac{2\cos(x)}{\sin^2(x)}+\frac{\cos^2(x)}{\sin^2(x)}=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Factor out the sin²(x) from the denominator:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sin^2(x)}\left(1-2\cos(x)+\cos^2(x)\right)=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Factor (perfect square trinomial):

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sin^2(x)}\left((\cos(x)-1)^2\right)=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Using the Pythagorean Identity, we know that sin²(x) = 1 - cos²(x). Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(\cos(x)-1)^2}{1-\cos^2(x)}=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Factor (difference of two squares):

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(\cos(x)-1)^2}{(1-\cos(x))(1+\cos(x))}=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Factor out a negative from the first factor in the denominator:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(\cos(x)-1)^2}{-(\cos(x)-1)(1+\cos(x))}=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Cancel:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\cos(x)-1}{-(1+\cos(x))}=\frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Distribute the negative into the numerator. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}=\displaystyle \frac{1-\cos(x)}{1+\cos(x)}[/tex]

Answers

Answer: The slope between these two is 3.5

Answer:

Solpe=4.5

Sorry if I’m wrong, but I think I got it.

So the formula for slope is    y2-y1/x2-x1  

In (-3,-2) )-7,-16),  -3 is x1, -2 is y1, -7 is x2, and -16 is y2.

Now, you need to fill in the formula with these numbers.

-16-2/-7- - 3

-16-2 is -18

-7- - 3 is -4 (two negatives make a positive)

This makes -18/-4. Divide this to get 4.5.

Answers

Answer:   (-4, -1)

This means x = -4 and y = -1 pair up together.

======================================================

You're on the right track. You'll replace the 'x' with 3y-1, but you made a typo. I think you meant to write the subtraction symbol instead of the equal sign.

Here's what your steps could look like

-2x + 5y = 3

-2(3y-1) + 5y = 3

-6y + 2 + 5y = 3

-y + 2 = 3

-y = 3-2

-y = 1

y = -1

x = 3y-1

x = 3(-1) - 1

x = -3-1

x = -4

Therefore, (x, y) = (-4, -1) is the solution

-------------------

As the steps above show, I replaced each copy of x in the second equation with (3y-1). This is due to x = 3y-1. From there, we isolate y. Once you determine that y = -1, it's plugged into the first equation to find x.

If you were to graph x = 3y-1 and -2x+5y = 3 on the same xy coordinate grid, then the two lines would intersect at (-4, -1)

Also, note how plugging x = -4 and y = -1 into the second equation leads to...

-2x+5y = 3

-2(-4)+5(-1) = 3

8 - 5 = 3

3 = 3

We get the same value on both sides, so that verifies the second equation. I'll let you verify the first equation.

Please help and show work!

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&-3\\5&2\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The matrices are -

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&6\\3&4\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-7\\5&9\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&6\\5&-8\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&5\\-2&4\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&-3\\5&2\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2\\4&6\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

To find - Arrange the matrices in increasing order of their determinant values.

Proof -

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&6\\3&4\\\end{array}\right][/tex] is

= (2)(4) - (6)(3)

= 8 - 18

= -10

So,

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&6\\3&4\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  = -10

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-7\\5&9\\\end{array}\right][/tex] is

= (-2)(9) - (-7)(5)

= -18 + 35

= 17

So,

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-7\\5&9\\\end{array}\right][/tex] = 17

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&6\\5&-8\\\end{array}\right][/tex] is

= (6)(-8) - (6)(5)

= -48 - 30

= -78

So,

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&6\\5&-8\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  = -78

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&4\\5&-5\\\end{array}\right][/tex] is

= (2)(-5) - (4)(5)

= -10 - 20

= -30

So,

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&4\\5&-5\\\end{array}\right][/tex] = -30

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&5\\-2&4\\\end{array}\right][/tex] is

= (2)(4) - (5)(-2)

= 8 + 10

= 18

So,

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&5\\-2&4\\\end{array}\right][/tex] = 18

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&-3\\5&2\\\end{array}\right][/tex] is

= (4)(2) - (-3)(5)

= 8 + 15

= 23

So,

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&-3\\5&2\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  = 23

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2\\4&6\\\end{array}\right][/tex] is

= (3)(6) - (2)(4)

= 18 - 8

= 10

So,

Determinant of matrix [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&2\\4&6\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  = 10

Now,

Increasing order of Determinant is -

-78 < -30 < -10 < 10 < 17 < 18 < 23

So,

Order of the Matrix will be

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&6\\5&-8\\\end{array}\right][/tex]  

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&4\\5&-5\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

When the book was 21 days late, he owed $6.25 to replace his library card and pay the fine for the overdue book. Suppose the total amount Simon owes when the book is n days late can be determined by an arithmetic sequence. Determine a formula for an, the nth term of this sequence.

Answer:

[tex](a)\ y = 0.25n +1[/tex]

[tex](b)\ \$16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n \to days[/tex]

[tex]y \to amount[/tex]

[tex](n_1,y_1) = (5,2.25)[/tex]

[tex](n_2,y_2) = (21,6.25)[/tex]

Solving (a): Formula that represents the scenario.

Calculate slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{n_2 -n_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{6.25-2.25}{21-5}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4}{16}[/tex]

[tex]m = 0.25[/tex]

The equation is calculated using:

[tex]y = m(n - n_1) + y_1[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y = 0.25(n - 5) + 2.25[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.25n - 1.25 + 2.25[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.25n +1[/tex]

Solving (b): Amount after 60 days late.

This means that:

[tex]n = 60[/tex]

So:

[tex]y = 0.25 * 60 + 1[/tex]

[tex]y = 15 + 1[/tex]

[tex]y = 16[/tex]
