Question 24 a
d Sketch the graph of S against x.
Bfx and y which give the strongest beam.
f If the cross-sectional depth of the beam must be less than or equal to 19 cm, find the
maximum strength of the beam.
23 The number of salmon swimming upstream in a river to spawn is approximated by
s(x) = -x³ + 3x² + 360x + 5000, with x representing the temperature of the water in
degrees (°C). (This model is valid only if 6 ≤ x ≤ 20.) Find the water temperature that
results in the maximum number of salmon swimming upstream.
24 A piece of wire 360 cm long is used to make the twelve edges of a rectangular box for
which the length is twice the breadth.
a Denoting the breadth of the box by x cm, show that the volume of the box, V cm³, is
given by V = 180x² - 6x³.
b Find the domain, S, of the function V: S→ R, V(x) = 180x2 - 6x³ which describes
the situation.
c Sketch the graph of the function with rule y = V(x).
d
Find the dimensions of the box that has the greatest volume.
e Find the values of x (correct to two decimal places) for which V = 20 000.
