  • Instructions

    Ideal for courses that require the use of a graphing calculator, College Algebra: Real Math, Real People, 7th Edition by Ron Larson, published by Cengage Learning, features quality exercises, interesting applications, and innovative resources to help you succeed. The WebAssign component for this textbook engages students with immediate feedback, lecture videos, and an interactive, fully customizable eBook, helping students to develop a deeper conceptual understanding of their subject matter. All even skill problems and all application problems from the textbook will be available in WebAssign.

    Question 1 has a Watch It and a Master It.

    Questions 1 - 3 have algorithmic solutions.

    Question 1 features the WebAssign graphing tool to graph a line.

    Question 6 features the WebAssign graphing tool to graph a quadratic. This question also demonstrates interval grading, which can grade any canonically equivalent interval and enforce proper notation.

    Question 8 is a Video Example that provides integrated video instruction and a follow up question about the concept that is presented.

    View the complete list of WebAssign questions available for this textbook. This demo assignment allows many submissions and allows you to try another version of the same question for practice wherever the problem has randomized values.

    We have also turned on the display of the solutions after the first submission so you can view them. Normally, instructors elect to display these solutions only after the due date.

Assignment Submission

For this assignment, you submit answers by question parts. The number of submissions remaining for each question part only changes if you submit or change the answer.

An open box of maximum volume is to be made from a square piece of material, 24 centimeters on a side, by cutting equal squares from the corners and turning up the sides as shown below.
(a) The table shows the volume V (in cubic centimeters) of the box for various heights x (in centimeters). Use the table to estimate the maximum volume.
Height, x 1 2 3 4 5 6
Volume, V 484 800 972 1024 980 864

cubic centimeters

(b) Plot the points (x, V) from the table in part (a). Does the relation defined by the ordered pairs represent V as a function of x?
    

(c) If V is a function of x, write the function. (If V is not a function of x, enter NONE.)
V =

Determine the domain of the function.

A rectangular package to be sent by the U.S. Postal Service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross section) of 108 inches (see figure).
(a) Write the volume V of the package as a function of x.
V =


What is the domain of the function?
    

(b) Use a graphing utility to graph your function. Be sure to use an appropriate window setting.



(c) What dimensions will maximize the volume of the package? (Enter your values in increasing order.)
× ×

Explain your answer.
From the graph, the volume occurs when x = .
