The minimum surface area that such a box can have is 380 square

<h3>How to determine the minimum surface area such a box can have?</h3>

Represent the base length with x and the bwith h.

So, the volume is

V = x^2h

This gives

x^2h = 500

Make h the subject

h = 500/x^2

The surface area is

S = 2(x^2 + 2xh)

Expand

S = 2x^2 + 4xh

Substitute h = 500/x^2

S = 2x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2

Evaluate

S = 2x^2 + 2000/x

Differentiate

S' = 4x - 2000/x^2

Set the equation to 0

4x - 2000/x^2 = 0

Multiply through by x^2

4x^3 - 2000 = 0

This gives

4x^3= 2000

Divide by 4

x^3 = 500

Take the cube root

x = 7.94

Substitute x = 7.94 in S = 2x^2 + 2000/x

S = 2 * 7.94^2 + 2000/7.94

Evaluate

S = 380

Hence, the minimum surface area that such a box can have is 380 square

What is the inverse of y=2x squared -4
Bumek [7]
y=2x^2-4\ \ \ |+4\\\\2x^2=y+4\ \ \ |:2\\\\x^2=\dfrac{y+4}{2}\\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{y+4}{2}}

y^{-1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{x+4}{2}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{x+4}}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2(x+4)}}{2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2x+8}}{2}

Clare is paid $90 for 5 hours of work. At thos rate how many seconds does i take for her to earn 25 cents?
natka813 [3]

We are given

Clare is paid $90 for 5 hours of work

Total money paid =$90

total hours of work =5 hours

so, firstly  we will find rate of work

rate of work = ( total money paid)/( total hours of work)

now, we can plug values

and we get

The rate of work is

=\frac{90}{5}

=18 $/ hour

now, we have to find time for amount paid is 25 cents

so, amount paid =25 cents

100 cents =1$

so, amount paid =$ 0.25

Since, the rate is constant

so, we can take same rate here

now, we can use formula

rate of work = ( total money paid)/( total hours of work)

now, we can plug values

18=\frac{0.25}{T}

now, we can solve for T

T=\frac{0.25}{18} hour

since, T is in hours

so, we can change into seconds

1 hour =3600seconds

so, we can plug

T=\frac{0.25}{18}\times 3600 seconds

T=50 seconds......................Answer
