- According to U.S. postal regulations, the girth plus the length of a parcel sent by mail may not exceed 108 inches, where by "girth" we mean the perimeter of the smallest end. What is the largest possible volume of a rectangular parcel with a square end that can be sent by mail? Such a package is shown below, with x and y measured in inches. Assume y>x. What are the dimensions of the package of largest volume? d). Find a formula for the volume V(x) in terms of x. e). What is the domain of the function V? Note that x must be positive and y>x; consider how these facts, and the constraint that girth plus length is 108 inches, limit the possible values for x. Give your answer using interval notation. f). Find the absolute maximum of the volume of the parcel on the domain you established above and hence also determine the dimensions of the box of greatest volume.arrow_forwardSubpart d,e,f need to be solvedarrow_forward19.

- 10. A norman window consists of a rectangle surmounted by a semi-circle. If the perimeter of a norman window is to be 32 ft., what should be the radius of the semicircle and the height of the rectangle so that the window admits the most light?arrow_forwardA. It can be modeled using a cone with a volume of 16 pi cubic feet. B. It can be modeled using a cylinder with a volume of 12 pi cubic feet. C. It can be modeled using a cone with a volume 4 pi cubic feet. D. It can be modeled using a cylinder with a volume of 48 pi cubic feet .arrow_forward3) The diagram shows a cylindrical water tank with a diameter of 14” and a height of 8” how many gallons of water does the tank hold when full.arrow_forward
- Consider a window the shape of which is a rectangle of height h surmounted by a triangle having a height T that is 1.3 times the width w of the rectangle (as shown in the figure below).arrow_forwardWhat steps would I take to solve the problem below? Assignment: You wish to cross the 11 m x 10 m courtyard without being detected by the two guards and escape through a door located on the western wall. Guard 1 is located in a tower at the northeast corner of the yard and Guard 2 is located in the yard, in the southwest corner, as shown in the figure below. Guard 1 can hear you if anything more than 1/36 (one thirty sixth) of the footstep sound energy reaches them; similarly, Guard 2 can hear you if anything more than 1/16 (one-sixteenth) of the footstep sound energy reaches them (Guard 1 can hear more due to his elevated height in the tower). Assume for now that both guards are fixed at these locations and cannot move unless they detect you. Based on this information, answer the following questions. Determine, if it exists, the safe distance between the two hearing zones of the guards for you to pass through undetected?

- Question 5 A 16 oz. box of Angel Hair pasta sells for $1.49. Maria is serving pasta for 10 people. If each of the 10 people only has a 2 oz. serving, what will the total cost be for the pasta for those 10 servings? $0.298 $0.913 $2.98 $1.86 $0.186arrow_forwardA museum contains a large pendulum. Due to air resistance and friction, each swing of the pendulum is a little shorter than the previous one. Suppose the first swing of the pendulum has a length of 25,000 mm and each return swing loses 4% of its length until eventually the pendulum comes to a complete stop. Answer parts A, B, C, and D and if necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. A. Let 'n' be defined as the number of swings the pendulum travels. Define 'a1' and 'r' (these are used in the explicit formula.) Write a geometric sequence in summation (Sigma) notation to express the total distance that the pendulum will have traveled after 30 swings. Sigma notation will have a lower limit, an upper limit, and an explicit formula. Do not compute the sum. B. Use the summation formula to find the total distance the pendulum swings. C. Using information from part A, write a geometric series in summation (Sigma) notation to express the total distance that the pendulum will have…arrow_forwardSolve part a for thisarrow_forward
