That's because it's poorly written. What the hell dimension is "front" supposed to be?
That doesn't help me. Is that width or depth?
width
Okay, now. "Side face perimeter of smallest area is 210 cm." That's... not even a sentence.
The perimeter of what is in green is 210 cm
...you sure about that?
Yes sir
I don't know how you can be.
I had already asked my teacher for help but he gave me a very empty explanation of how to solve it but everything I say is according to what he explained to me.
What's the formula for volume?
V = Height * length * Width (I suppose that the length should be obtained with the perimeter of the lateral face?)
Let's not skip to the end. So we have a formula for volume. Now we need to get this formula in terms of a single variable.
This what I did is correct?
Almost. Tripped at the finish line.
Did I make a mistake in some part of the procedure?
What you wrote in the box is not what you should have written according to your own work.
About this, do I have to change the h to w in the function?
Well, no. You have to do more than that. And really, that's a dumb requirement. It's basically just a bunch of arbitrary algebraic shuffling on everything you already worked out.
currently for point (b) I have done this... This what I did is correct?
You can't do b until you're done with a.
Ok, what else do I have to do?
...rewrite it in terms of w.
Which is actually a bit simpler than I thought before.
Just find the thing with h and w in it, solve for h in terms of w, then replace every h in what you have with that.
like that?
Ok, I'm writing it, is this correct?
...what?
I had misspelled 105 with 150, 105+15 = 120, sorry my mistake
Did I do it right?
I mean, do I do the sum but leave its negative value?
...you're asking me how to add negative numbers together?
You're doing calculus and you need to ask how to add negative numbers?
No. Don't crash other people's channels.
Sorry
And now an unsolicited friend request from someone who just joined the server who I just met. You are not earning any points with me here.
Then why do you insist on only asking for it in wrong ways?
I just joined the server
Idk how things work
Ive been stuck for hours and i just thought logically there might be a discord server for maths
I searched on google and was led here
Please man
Just help me
And you didn't think to just look around for five minutes? Or ask in somewhere like #geonosidan-prison-complex "How do I use this server?"
Are u going to help me or not bro
If ur not going to stop wasting my time please
On my behalf its my mistake idk how to use ur server
But i need help with a single question man
@bleak zodiac
??
Stop hijacking someone else's thread.
Yes, because that's what you're doing.
Is that rounded? I don't think it should be a rational number.
When both numbers are positive, what does it mean?
By my math, it's 75 +/- 5 * sqrt(59). Which... is always positive.
But you want to specifically find the maximum.
Actually, wait.
It seems to me like the maximum is... like, the limit as w goes to infinity?
At least in terms of the function we actually got.
Because it's a cubic with a positive lead term.
,w graph y = x^3 - 225x^2 + 12600x
I don't understand very well, one of the numbers was supposed to be negative because we are dealing with a magnitude but it was both, so which one should I take?
Sir, so what am I supposed to do or what number should I pick?
Not a sir. Anyway, hmm...
Wait, dammit. I think you messed up the initial function.
Thank you very much for the help, I already managed to do a large part of the points, I only need the last one
