- An open-faced box is made from a square piece of paper that measures 16 inches by 16 inches. The box will be made by cutting small x by x sized squares out of each corner. What’s an equation for the volume of the box in terms of x that could be used to determine how to make the box with the biggest volume? A. V=x(16−x)2 B. V=x(16−2x)2 C. V=x(16)(16) D. V=x3arrow_forward-3x +4y by replacing x with 0.3 and y with 0.25arrow_forwardhe perimeter of a rectangle is 28 feet. Let one side be x feet long.

- Suppose that the demand and supply for artificial Christmas trees and the number of trees that will be sold/bought at this price. given by the functions below where p is the price of a tree in dollars and g is the quantity of trees that are demanded/supplied in hundreds. Find the price that gives the market equilibrium price p= 110.70 - 0.30q (demand function) p= 0.01q? + 4.79 (supply function) Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. O A. The equilibrium price of $ gives a demand that is equal to a supply of hundred trees. (Simplify your answer. Type integers simplified fractions.) O B. The equilibrium price does not exist.arrow_forwardIf the profit from the sale of x units of a product is P = 105x − 300 − x2, what level(s) of production will yield a profit of $1700?
