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 population of a city is 451,400. The population is expected to decrease at a rate of 3.2% each year.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Find out the what function equation represents the population of the city after t years .

To prove

The population of a city is 451,400. The population is expected to decrease at a rate of 3.2% each year.

This can be represented by exponential decreasing function.

f(t) = a (1 - r)^{t}

Where a is the initial value.

r is the rate in decimal form

t is the time.

Here

a = 451,400

3.2 % is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{3.2}{100}

= 0.032

Put in the formula

f(t) = 451400 (1 - 0.032)^{t}

f(t) = 451400 (0.968)^{t}

Therefore the decrease in the population of the city after t years is represented by

f(t) = 451400 (0.968)^{t}

coles buys a new laptop for 335 he makes a down payment of 50$ and pays the rest in 6 equal monthly payments p what equation rep
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

335 = 50 + 6p

Step-by-step explanation:

50 +6p=335

subtract from both sides

-50      -50

6p=285

/6p   /6p

divide both sides

p=47.5

Help plz! Will mark as brainiest JUST HELP PLZ
Volgvan

1) The lengths of the other 2 sides are 51 feet.

Isosceles triangles have at least 2 equal sides. The base is 60 feet, so we can assume that the other 2 sides are equal

162 = 60 + 2x

x = the equal sides of the triangle.

162 - 60 = 102

102 = 2x

Divided by 2

51 = x

51 + 51 = 102. 102 + 60 = 162

2)

Pool 1: 311.38ft.

8*19.4 = 155.2

8 * 5.7 * 2 = 91.2

5.7 * 5.7 = 32.49/2 (because its a triangle) = 16.254*4 = 64.98

155.2 + 91.2 + 64.98 = 311.39

Pool 2: Either 863.94ft or 484 + 121πft

22 * 22 = 484

22/2 = 11, So, the radius of the half circle is 11

Circle area = (pi)r^2

11*11 = 121

pi * 121 = 121pi

Using 3.14 substitute: 3.14 * 121 = 379.94

379.94 + 484 = 863.94

Pool 3: 207ft

Rhombus area = pq/2

18 * 12 = 216

216/2 = 108

11 * 18 = 198/2 = 99

99 + 108 = 207
