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

Confirm that f and g are inverses by showing that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.
charle [14.2K]

ANSWER

See below

EXPLANATION

Given

f(x) =  \frac{ {x}- 9 }{x + 5}

and

g(x) =   \frac{ - 5x - 9}{x - 1}

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ (\frac{ - 5x - 9}{x - 1})- 9 }{(\frac{ - 5x - 9}{x - 1} )+ 5}

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 5x - 9 - 9(x - 1)}{x - 1}}{\frac{ - 5x - 9 + 5(x - 1)}{x - 1} }

Expand:

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 5x - 9 - 9x  + 9}{x - 1}}{\frac{ - 5x - 9 + 5x - 5}{x - 1} }

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 5x - 9x  + 9 - 9}{x - 1}}{\frac{ - 5x + 5x - 5 - 9}{x - 1} }

(f \circ \: g)(x)=  \frac{ \frac{ - 14x }{x - 1}}{\frac{ -14}{x - 1} }

Since the denominators are the same, they will cancel out,

(f \circ \: g)(x)= \frac{ - 14x}{ - 14}  = x
