The function in variable w giving the cost C (in dollars) of constructing the box is C(w) = 30w² + 270/w. The result is obtained by using the formula of volume and area of the box.

<h3>How to determine the function?</h3>

We have a rectangular storage container without a lid.

  • Volume, V = 10 m³
  • Length, l = 2w
  • Width, w = w
  • Base costs $15/m²
  • Sides costs $9/m²

The formula of volume of the box is

V = l × w × h

Where

  • l = length
  • w = width
  • h = height

So, the height is

10 = 2w × w × h

10 = 2w² × h

h = 10/2w²

h = 5/w²

To find the total cost, calculate the area of base and sides of the box!

See the picture in the attachment!

The base area is

A₁ = 2w × w = 2w² m²

The sides area is

A₂ = 2(2wh + wh)

A₂ = 2(3wh)

A₂ = 6wh

A₂ = 6w(5/w²)

A₂ = 30/w m²

The total cost is

C = $15(2w²) + $9(30/w)

C = $30w² + $270/w

The function of the total cost is

C(w) = 30w² + 270/w

Hence, the function of constructing the box is C(w) = 30w² + 270/w.

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft2. Which measurement is closest to the side length of this yard in feet?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a = 14.19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a square shaped yard is 201.5 ft²

We need to find the side length of this yard in feet.

The area of a square shaped object is given by :

A = a², a is the side length of the object

Put A = 201.5 ft² in above formula,

201.5=a^2\\\\a=\sqrt{201.5 } \\\\a=14.19\ \text{feet}

So, the side of the square yard is 14.19 feet.

15.87% of the population does not meet the minimum standards.

We use z-scores to find this probability:

z=(X-μ)/σ = (85-100)/15 = -15/15 = -1

Using a z-table (http://www.-table.com) we see that the area to the left of, less than, this is 0.1587.  This is 15.87%.

you plant 15 tulip bulbs and 10 of them grow into flowers to bloom. If you plant 21 more re tulips bulbs, predict how many of th
harina [27]

Answer:

14 more flower would bloom if 21 more tulip bulb is planted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio for tulip bulbs and flowers is 15:10.

Now, finding number of flower to bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

Assume if 21 tulip bulbs are planted then number of flower would bloom be"x"

ratio given: \frac{Tulip\ bulbs}{ Flower} = \frac{15}{10} = \frac{21}{x}

Cross multiplying the ratio to get:

⇒x= \frac{21\times 10}{15} = \frac{210}{15}

∴x= 14\ flowers

Hence, 14 flowers would bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

If total tulip bulb is 15+21= 36, then 10+14= 24\ flowers would bloom.
