design a container box yhat can be able to hold 15pieces of 4g candiy and has a parabola as the main theme of the design.
use the correct mathematical equation in solving for the dimensions of the container.
To design a container box with a parabolic theme that can hold 15 pieces of 4g candies, we need to find the dimensions of the container by using a mathematical equation for a parabola.
The general equation for a parabola in a coordinate plane is given by: y = ax^2 + bx + c
To find the dimensions of the container, we will focus on the width and height.
1. Determine the width:
Since the candies will be arranged in a rectangular shape, the width of the container should be the smallest possible value that can contain 15 candies. Let's assume the width to be 'w' units.
The number of candies that can fit in the width is determined by the number of columns. So, we need to solve for the number of columns based on the width 'w'.
To do this, we calculate the number of columns using the formula: Number of Columns = Number of Candies / Number of Rows
In this case, since we have 15 candies to be held and we want to distribute them evenly, let's assume we will have 3 rows. Hence:
Number of Columns = 15 / 3 = 5
So, the width of the container is the sum of the widths of individual candies:
Width of the container = Number of Columns * Width of a Candy
2. Determine the height:
The height of the container should be based on the parabolic theme. We can assume the equation of the parabola to be y = a * x^2, where 'a' is a constant.
For a parabola, the height is determined by the value of 'y' at the maximum x-coordinate. To find this maximum x-coordinate, we need to find the x-coordinate where the equation y = a * x^2 is maximized.
Since it's not specified how the parabolic design should be incorporated into the container, you can choose a suitable value for 'a' that creates the desired shape for the container.
Now, let's summarize the steps to find the dimensions of the container:
1. Determine the width:
- Assume a value for the width of the container (w).
- Calculate the number of columns (Number of Columns) using the formula: Number of Columns = Number of Candies / Number of Rows.
- Calculate the width of the container: Width of the container = Number of Columns * Width of a Candy.
2. Determine the height:
- Choose a suitable value for 'a' in the equation y = a * x^2.
- Calculate the maximum x-coordinate by finding the vertex of the parabola.
- Use the maximum x-coordinate to calculate the corresponding y-coordinate.
- The height of the container will be the corresponding y-coordinate.
Remember, these steps are somewhat generalized as specific details about the parabolic theme and the design requirements for the container are not provided.
