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.

After the bank cashed a check Maureen wrote for $60, her balance was -$14.The equation b+(-60)=-14 can be used to represent this
dem82 [27]

we are given

b+(-60)=-14

Since, we have to solve for b

b-60=-14

so, we will isolate b ony one side

so, we will add 60 on both sides

b-60+60=-14+60

b=-14+60

b=46

so,

Answer:

Maureen should have added 60 to both sides.

The length of a rectangular garden is 9 feet longer than its width. the garden's perimeter is 202 feet. find the length of the g
Harman [31]
202 - 18 = 184 (the length is 9ft longer than the width, and you double the length to find the perimeter, so you double the 9)
184 ÷ 4 = 46 (4 being the 4 sides of the rectangle)
width = 46
length = 46 + 9 = 55

55 x 46 = 2530

Area = 2530ft²

vodomira [7]

Answer:

y =  - x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x - 2 + y) = 4 \\ 4x - 8 + 4y = 4 \\ 4x + 4y = 12 \\ x + y = 3 \\ y =  - x + 3
