Let x, y, and z denote the side lengths of the box, with the bottom face having dimensions x-by-y and z is the height. Naturally this means each of x, y, and z must be greater than 0.

The box has a fixed volume of 252 cm³, so

xyz = 252

The surface area of the box is

2xy + 2xz + 2yz

and we're told that the material cost for each face is different. The total cost of the material needed to make the box is given by

C (x, y, z) = ($5/cm²) xy + ($2/cm²) xy + 2 ($3/cm²) (xz + yz)

or, omitting units and simplifying,

C (x, y, z) = 7xy + 6 (x + y) z

In the volume constraint, solve for any one variable; I'll do z.

z = 252/(xy)

Substitute this into the cost function:

C (x, y, 252/(xy)) = 7xy + 1512 (x + y)/(xy)

Since this is now a function of 2 variables, I'll rewrite this as

C* (x, y) = 7xy + 1512 (1/y + 1/x)

Compute the partial derivatives of C and find the critical points:

∂C/∂x = 7y - 1512/x² = 0   ⇒   x² y = 216

∂C/∂y = 7x - 1512/y² = 0   ⇒   x y² = 216

It follows that

x² y = x y²   ⇒   x = y

Just like before, we can think about C* as yet another function but only of 1 variable,

C** (x) = 7x² + 3024/x

Now find the critical points of C** :

dC**/dx = 14x - 3024/x² = 0   ⇒   x = 6

All of this tells us that C (x, y, z) has a critical point when x = y = 6 and z = 252/6² = 7. So the box that costs the least has dimensions 6 × 6 × 7 cm, which gives the box a surface area of 240 cm² and a total cost of $756.

If the sale price is $40 and the discount is 25%, what is the original price?
sveta [45]
Use this equation to solve the problem:

x - (x * .25) = 40

This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.

x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33

The original price was $53.33

Write and solve an equation to find the value of x and the missing angle measures
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

85 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

its really easy just make them equal to eachother and then solve

9x + 13 = 11x-3

-11x (subtract because 11x is positive)

-2x +13 = -3

-13 (subtract because 13 is positive)

-2x = -16

divide both sides by -2

x= 8

substitute 8 for the x's and you have your answer
