A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 171500 c m 3 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used. First, find a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x , the length of one side of the square base. [Hint: use the volume formula to express the height of the box in terms of x .] Simplify your formula as much as possible.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is length of square base x = 70 cm and height of box = 35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box with square base is V = x²h where x = length of side of square base and h = height of box.

Now, the area of the of box open at the top with dimensions of length, l , width, w and height, h are

A = 2lh + lw + 2wh

Now for a box of square base, l = w = x.

So, A = 2xh + x² + 2xh

A = x² + 4xh

Since V = x²h and V = 171500 cm³,

h = V/x² = 171500/x²

substituting h into A, we have

A =   x² + 4xh

A =  x² + 4x(171500 cm³/x²)

A =  x² + 4 × 171500 cm³/x

A =  x² + 686000 cm³/x

To find the value of x that minimizes A, we differentiate A with respect to x

So, dA/dx = d[x² + 686000 cm³/x]/dx

dA/dx = 2x - 686000 cm³/x²

equating this to zero, we have

2x - 686000 cm³/x² = 0

2x = 686000 cm³/x²

2x³ = 686000

x³ = 686000 cm³/2

x = ∛(343000 cm³)

x = 70 cm

To determine if this in a minimum dimension for A, we differentiate dA/dx and insert x = 70 cm

So, d²A/dx² = d[2x - 686000 cm³/x²]/dx

d²A/dx² = 2 + 3 × 686000 cm³/x³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/x³

with x = 70 cm, we have

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/(70 cm)³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/343000 cm³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 6

d²A/dx² = 8 > 0

So, x = 70 is a minimum value for the dimension

Since h = 171500 cm³/x²

h = 171500 cm³/(70 cm)²

h = 171500 cm³/4900 cm²

h = 35 cm

So, the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is length of square base x = 70 cm and height of box = 35 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem statement tries to confuse us. there is no pi involved - also because there are no round surfaces and edges involved.

what do you think the surface area of such a 4-sided pyramid consists of ?

think !

there are the 4 walls or sides. and then there is the bottom too (if you lift the pyramid up, yes, the "floor" or bottom also belongs to the surface area).

each "wall" or side is actually a triangle.

and the bottom is a square.

what is the area of a triangle (At) ?

At = base length × height / 2 = 3×11/2 = 33/2 in²

what is the area of a square (As) ?

it is a special form of a rectangle, where length = width.

the area of a rectangle (Ar) = length × width.

and the area of a square (As), where length = width is

As = side length × side length = length² = 3² = 9 in²

our pyramid now has 4 "walls", all of the same size, so we need 4 times the area of such a single triangle.

and then add the bottom area.

=> the pyramid surface area (Ap) is

Ap = 4 × At + As = 4×33/2 + 9 = 132/2 + 9 = 66+9 = 75 in²

Starting with the first answer choice:

[tex]-\frac{1}{3}(3)+3=3-1,\\-1+3=3-1,\\2=2[/tex]

Since none of the equations here return a value of [tex]-2[/tex], the correct answer must not include [tex]-\frac{1}{3}x+3[/tex] or [tex]x-1[/tex].

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this. A car travelled 400 km in 5 hours. Joe calculated the speed as 80 km/h but, when he graphed the relation, he calculated a slope of 0.0125. What do you think Joe did incorrectly?​

Answers

It sounds like Joe calculated 5/400 = 0.0125

He divided in the wrong order. It should be 400/5 = 80 since we divide distance over time to get the speed (or rate).

-----------------

In terms of x and y, we basically are saying

slope = rise/run

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

slope = (change in distance)/(change in time)

slope = (400 km)/(5 hrs)

slope = 80 km per hour is the speed

Step-by-step explanation:

Area fountain and walkway

a = π(16 + 4)²

a = π20²

a = 400π

Area Walkway

a =400π - 256π

On a coordinate plane, line A B goes through (negative 2, 4) and (2, negative 8). Point C is at (6, 4).
Which point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB?

(–6, 0)
(0, –6)
(0, 2)

Answers

Answer:

A. (-6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB is (-6, 0). Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Given that, on a coordinate plane, line AB goes through (-2, 4) and (2, -8). Point C is at (6, 4).

What is the slope of a line?

The slope of a line is defined as the change in y-coordinate with respect to the change in x-coordinate of that line.

The slope is represented by the letter m, and is given by, m = tan θ = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Now, slope of line AB with (x1, y1) = (-2, 4) and (x2, y2) = (2, -8) is

Slope = m = (-8-4)/(2(-2)

= -12/4

= -3

Slope perpendicular to AB = -1/m = -1/(-3)

=1/3

Put m=1/3 and C(6, 4) in y=mx+c, we get

4 = 1/3 (6) + c

⇒ c = 4-2

⇒ c = 2

Substitute m=1/3 and c = 2 in y = mx+c

That is, y = x/3 + 2

⇒ 3y = x+6

Point on the y-axis lies is 3(0) = x+6

⇒ x=-6

So, the coordinate is (-6, 0)

The point on the y-axis lies on the line that passes through point C and is perpendicular to line AB is (-6, 0). Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Answer:

y=-1/2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y = (1/2) x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of linear functions is y = m x + b

In this case, we know m = 1/2 , and have point (4,5). We only need to find our y-intercept or b value.

What we can do is substitute what we know into our formula which will give us variable b, or the y-intercept. That will look like:

5 = (1/2) * 4 + b

5 = 2 + b

3 = b

So, the equation is y = (1/2) x + 3 :)

d. The equation of a line is y+6=-9(x - 1). The slope of the line is and the y-intercept is A point on the line is​

Answers

Answer: The equation of a line is y+6=-9(x-1). The slope of the line is -9 and the y-intercept is 3. A point on the line is (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by putting it in slope intercept form.

First use the distributive property

[tex]y+6=-9(x-1)\\y+6=(-9)(x)+(-9)(-1)\\y+6=-9x+9[/tex]

Now subtract 6 from both sides

[tex]y+6-6=-9x+9-6\\y=-9x+3[/tex]

Now it is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

In slope intercept form the slope of the line is the value m. In our equation the value m is -9 making that our slope.

In slope intercept form the y-intercept of the line is b. In our equation the value of b is 3 making that our y-intercept.

To find a point on the line we can sub x with any number to find the y so that we can find the coordinate.

[tex]y=-9(0)+3\\y=0+3\\y=3[/tex]

A point on the line is (0, 3)
