A company wishes to manufacture a box with a volume of 20 cubic feet that is open on top and is twice as long as it is wide. Find the width of the box that can be produced using the minimum amount of material.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.47 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l, b, and h be the length, width, and height of the box.

As the length is twice the width, so l=2b ...(i)

The volume of the box is 20 cubic feet, so

lbh=20

(2b)bh=20  [by using (i)]

[tex]h=\frac {20}{2b^2} \\\\h= \frac {10}{b^2} ...(ii)[/tex]

The material required= surface area, S, of the open box

S= lb+2bh+2lh

By using equation (i) and (ii), we have

[tex]S= 2b(b)+2b\times \frac {10}{b^2} +2(2b)\times \frac {10}{b^2}[/tex]

[tex]S= 2b^2+ \frac {20}{b} + \frac {40}{b} \\\\S= 2b^2+ \frac {60}{b} \cdots(i)[/tex]

Now, we have the surface area, S, as the function of width, b.

Differentiate S with respect to b then equate it to zero to get the extremum values, as

[tex]\frac {dS}{db}=0 \\\\\frac {d}{db}(2b^2 +60/b)=0 \\\\4b-\frac{-60}{b^2}=0 \\\\4b=\frac{60}{b^2} \\\\b^3=\frac{60}{4} \\\\b=(15)^{1/3}[/tex]

b=2.47 feet.

Now, by second differentiation, checking the nature of extremum value.

[tex]\frac {d^2S}{db^2}=4+\frac {120}{b^3}[/tex]

For [tex]b>0, \frac {d^2S}{db^2} >0[/tex]

So, the width of the box,  b=2.47,  is the minima for the area, S(b).

Hence, the width of the box that can be produced using the minimum amount of material is 2.47 feet.

Finding the slope between (-3, 4),(2, -2)

[tex]\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]'

[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-3,\:4\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(2,\:-2\right)[/tex]

What is the probability that the same result (heads or tails) shows twice in a row exactly once in the ten tosses?

Answers

Answer:

1/512

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is 2 out of 2^10 , because there are only two sequences when  same result (heads or tails) shows twice in a row exactly once in the ten tosses (HTHTHTHTHT and THTHTHTHTH) out of 2^10 possible sequences.

2/2^10 = 2/1024 =1/512

The function c(x) = 18x -10 represents the cost in dollars. How many tickets can you buy?

Answers

Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed writing the complete question. As total cost is missing.

So, I am assuming how many tickets Mr. XYZ can buy if he/she pays 170 dollars.

The solution would still clear your concept though.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

[tex]c(x) = 18x -10[/tex]

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

so

[tex]c(x) = 18x - 10[/tex]

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

here:

rate of change = 18c(x) or y represents the cost

and

'x' represents the number of tickets

Assuming the total cost i.e. c(x) = $170

In order to determine the value of x, set c(x) = 170

i.e.

170 = 18x -10

switch sides

18x - 10 = 170

add 10 to both sides

18x - 10 + 10 = 170 + 10

18x = 180

Divide 18 to both sides

18x/18 = 180/18

x =  10

Therefore, if you can buy x = 10 tickets if you pay  170 dollars.

To be labeled as a jumbo egg, the egg is supposed to weigh 2.5 oz. Mia buys a carton of jumbo eggs and measures one of the eggs as 2.4 oz. What is the percent error? *

Answers

Answer: 4.17%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for percentage error = [tex]\dfrac{|\text{Estimated weight - Actual weight}|}{\text{Actual weight}}\times100[/tex]

Given: Estimated weight = 2.5 oz

Actual weight = 2.4 oz

Percentage error = [tex]\dfrac{2.5-2.4}{2.4}\times100\%[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{0.1}{2.4}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{100}{24}\%=4.17\%[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

$0.18 sales tax will be added to the purchase price.

Given that:

Cost of cupcake = $3

Sales tax applied = 6%

Amount of sales tax = 6% of cost of cupcake

Amount of sales tax = [tex]\frac{6}{100}*3[/tex]

Amount of sales tax = 0.06 * 3 = $0.18

Hence,

$0.18 sales tax will be added to the purchase price.

The number line that represents opposite numbers is (a) number line 1

How to determine the number line?

From the question, we understand that:

The numbers are opposite numbers

Take for instance, we have a number x.

The opposite of the number x is -x

So, the number line that represents opposite numbers must have points at x and -x

Let x = 10.

So, we have:

Opposite numbers = 10 and -10

So, the number line that represents opposite numbers must have points at 10 and -10

Hence, the number line that represents opposite numbers is (a) number line 1

Going from negative 2 to positive 2 in increments of 1. There are 4 equal spaces between each number.

From the graph, it is clear that the point 0 is taken as arbitrary. The left side number units from 0 represent the negative values and the right-sided number units from 0 represent the positive values.

When we move on the right side from the 0, the numbers increase and when you move on the right side from the 0, the number decreases.

Write a function g whose graph represents the indicated transformation of the graph of F. Let g be a translation 4 units down and a horizontal shrink by a factor of of the graph of f(x) = x.​

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = 6x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function f(x)=x

Let p(x) be an intermediate function after translation of f(x).

So, after the translation 4 unit down, the new function

p(x) = f(x) - 4

p(x) = x-4

Now, there is a horizontal shrink by a factor of 6, so the required function g(x) is

g(x) = p(6x) [here 6 is the horizontal shrink factor]

g(x) = 6x-4

Hence, the required function is g(x) = 6x+4

Describe the lines below as parallel, perpendicular,or neither.
3x+6y=42 and y=2x-1

Answers

Answer:

They are neither perpendicular nor parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the gradient of 2x + 6y = 42 by rearranging it in the form y = mx + c:

6y = -2x + 42

y = -(1/3)x + 7

The gradient is the co-efficient of x

Therefore the gradient is -(1/3)

The gradient of y = 2x - 1 is 2.

If they were parallel they would have the same gradient.

If they were perpendicular then the gradient of one would be the negative reciprocal of the other, e.g: if one was 2, the other would be -(1/2).

Neither of these are true, so they are neither perpendicular nor parallel.

The lines 3x+6y=42 and y=2x-1 are perpendicular

Two lines are parallel if they have equal slope

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes equals -1

The given lines are:

3x+6y=42 and y=2x-1

Rewrite each of the equations in the form y = mx + c

For line 3x + 6y = 42:

[tex]6y = -3x + 42\\\\y=\frac{-3}{6} x+\frac{42}{6}\\\\y=-0.5x+7[/tex]

The slope, m₁  =  -0.5

For line y = 2x - 1

The slope, m₂ = 2

Since m₁  ≠ m₂, lines 3x+6y=42 and y=2x-1 are not parallel

m₁ m₂  =  -0.5(2)

m₁ m₂  = -1

Since the product of the slopes equals -1, the lines 3x+6y=42 and y=2x-1 are perpendicular
