A container manufacturer plans to make rectangular boxes whose bottom and top measure 2x by 3x. The container must contain 12in.

3 The top and the bottom will cost $2.60 per square inch, while the four sides will cost $4.30 per square inch. What should the height of the container be so as to minimize cost? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

The height of the container be so as to minimize cost will be 1.20. inches.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

The volume of the box will be:

= 2x × 3x × h

= 6x²h

Volume = 6x²h

12 = 6x²h

h = 2x²

The cost function will be:

C = 2.60(2)(6x²) + 4.30(12x)h

C = 31.2x² + 51.6xh

Taking the derivative

62.4x + 51.6h

h = 1.20

Therefore, the height of the container be so as to minimize cost will be 1.20 inches.

A right cone has a radius of 13 cm and a slant height of 20 cm. Find its surface area.
devlian [24]

Answer:

A=1347.7\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a cone, r = 13 cm

Slant height of the cone, l = 20 cm

We need to find the surface area of the cone. The formula for the surface area of the cone is given by :

A=\pi rl +\pi r^2

Put all the values,

A=\pi r(l + r)\\\\A=\pi \times 13(20 + 13)\\\\A=1347.7\ cm^2

So, the surface area of the cone is 1347.7\ cm^2.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 4.20 gigabyte

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the equation that can be used to determine the the number of gigabytes of data Peyton can use while staying within her budget will be:

48 + 3g = 60.60

3g = 60.60 - 48

3g = 12.60

g = 12.60/3

= 4.20

The number of gigabytes of data is 4.20g
