From a square piece of cardboard paper of area size 9 m2 , squares of the same size are cut off from each corner of the paper. this allows for folding the paper to a box without a top. what values for the lengths of the squares only make sense? how do we have to choose the length of the squares to maximize the volume of the box? verify that your answer is indeed a maximum.

Max vol = 2 cubic metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that from a square piece of cardboard paper of area size 9 m2 , squares of the same size are cut off from each corner of the paper.

Side of the square = 3m

If squares are to be cut from the corners of the cardboard we have the dimensions of the box as

3-2x, 3-2x and x.

Hence x can never be greater than or equal to 1.5

V(x) = Volume =

We use derivative test to find the maxima

Equate I derivative to 0

If x= 3/2 box will have 0 volume

So this is ignored

V"(1/2) <0

So maximum when x =1/2

Maximum volume

= cubic metres

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
