Question 847775
The only information Jared gives Vera is the formula programmed into the machine that is used to cut and shape the dish. The function used by the dish making machine is as follows: y = -2/225x^2 + 50 (for output values greater than 0.)

If the machine is programmed in centimeters, what are the minimum interior dimensions of the crate that Vera needs to ship Kathy's dish?
:
If we graph this equation, it will be apparent how we can find the dimensions
{{{ graph( 300, 200, -100, 100, -20, 100, (-2/225)x^2+50) }}} 
The y intercept is 50, 50 cm is interior depth of the box
Find the x intercepts, they are +75 and -75, therefore the min length & width
would be 150 cm
:
150 by 150 by 50 cm is the min interior dimensions
