The smallest amount of material needed is 54 square centimeters

<h3>How to determine the amount of material needed?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Volume = 36 cubic centimeters

Represent length with x, width with y and height with z.

So, we have

x = 3y

The volume is calculated as:

V = xyz

This gives

V = 3y²z

Substitute 36 for V

3y²z = 36

Divide by 3

y²z = 12

Make z the subject

z = 12/y²

The surface area is:

S = 2(xy + xz + yz)

This gives

S = 2(3y² + 3yz + yz)

Evaluate the like terms

S = 2(3y² + 4yz)

Expand

S = 6y² + 8yz

Substitute z = 12/y²

S = 6y² + 8y * 12/y²

This gives

S = 6y² + 96/y

Differentiate

S' = 12y -  96/y²

Set to 0

12y -  96/y² = 0

Multiply through by y²

12y³ - 96 = 0

Add 96 to both sides

12y³ = 96

Divide by 12

y³ = 8

Take the cube root of both sides

y = 2

Recall that:

x = 3y and z = 12/y²

This gives

x = 3 * 2 = 6

z = 12/2² = 3

Recall that:

S = 2(xy + xz + yz)

So, we have:

S = 2(6 * 2 + 3 * 3 + 2 * 3)

Evaluate

S = 54

Hence, the smallest amount of material needed is 54 square centimeters

T a linen sale Mrs. Earle bought twice as many pillowcases for $2 each as sheets for $5 each. If she spent less than $40, not in
Anettt [7]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 x: number of pillowcases
 y: number of sheets
 We now write the system of equations:
 2x + 5y = 40
 x = 2y
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 8.9
 y = 4.4
 Answer:
 
The maximum number of pillowcases she could have purchased is:
 
x = 8 (spent less than $ 40)

Can someone please help ? :(
Anika [276]

Answer:

I'll list the answers as coordinates (just input the second number in each coordinate)

(-2, 11)

(0, 1)

(2, -9)

(4, -19)

Step-by-step explanation:

So you see how the x column is filled out? You plug in the numbers in each area and solve for y.

So we start off with -2. You take the x out and place -2 instead. Your equation should look like this:

y = -5 (-2) + 1

Next you multiply -5 and -2, giving you 10. Your equation would look like this now:

y = 10 + 1

Next you add 10 and 1 together, and you have your answer. Keep doing the same thing, but instead of -2 for x, use 0, 2, and 4.

Hope I helped! Have a nice day or night! ^-^

What is the method of comparing Coefficient ​
Svetllana [295]

Answer: In mathematics, the method of equating the coefficients is a way of solving a functional equation of two expressions such as polynomials for a number of unknown parameters. It relies on the fact that two expressions are identical precisely when corresponding coefficients are equal for each different type of term.
