Ashley purchased a prepaid phone card for $20

Long-distance calls cost 18 cents a minute using this card.

If the remaining credit on her card is $17.66.

How many minutes did her call last?

Let x denotes the number of minutes

Then we can set up the following equation

\$20-0.18x=\$17.66

She initially had $20 credit, so we can need to subtract the credit that she used (that is 0.18x) from the initial credit and the result must be equal to the remaining credit that is $17.66.

Let us solve the above equation for x

\begin{gathered} \$20-0.18x=\$17.66 \\ -0.18x=\$17.66-\$20 \\ -0.18x=-\$2.34 \\ x=\frac{-\$2.34}{-0.18} \\ x=13 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number of minutes is 13

Her call last for 13 minutes.

uppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is $$ cubic meters. Assume that the cost of m
Ainat [17]

Answer:

a = length of the base = 2.172 m

b = width of the base = 1.357 m

c = height = 4.072 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is 12 cubic meters. Assume that the cost of materials for the base is 12 dollars per square meter, and the cost of materials for the sides is 8 dollars per square meter. The height of the box is three times the width of the base. What’s the least amount of money we can spend to build such a container?

lets call a = length of the base

b = width of the base

c = height

V = a.b.c = 12

Area without the top:

Area = ab + 2bc + 2ac

Cost  = 12ab + 8.2bc + 8.2ac

Cost = 12ab + 16bc + 16ac

height = 3.width

c = 3b

Cost = 12ab + 16b.3b + 16a.3b = 12ab + 48b² + 48ab = 48b² + 60ab

abc = 12 → ab.3b = 12 → 3ab² = 12 → ab² = 4 → a = 4/b²

Cost = 48b² + 60ab = 48b² + 60b.4/b² = 48b² + 240/b

C(b) = 48b² + 240/b

C'(b) = 96b - 240/b²

Minimum cost: C'(b) = 0

96b - 240/b² = 0

(96b³ - 240)/b² = 0

96b³ - 240 = 0

96b³ = 240

b³ = 240/96

b³ = 2.5

b = 1.357m

c = 3b = 3*1.357 = 4.072m

a = 4/b² = 2.172m

The position equation for a particle is s of t equals the square root of the quantity t cubed plus 1 where s is measured in feet
vladimir1956 [14]
\bf s(t)=\sqrt{t^3+1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{ds}{dt}=\cfrac{1}{2}(t^3+1)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\cdot 3t^2\implies \boxed{\cfrac{ds}{dt}=\cfrac{3t^2}{2\sqrt{t^3+1}}}\leftarrow v(t)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}=\cfrac{6t(2\sqrt{t^3+1})-3t^2\left( \frac{3t^2}{\sqrt{t^3+1}} \right)}{(2\sqrt{t^3+1})^2}\implies 
\cfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}=\cfrac{ \frac{6t(2\sqrt{t^3+1})-1}{\sqrt{t^3+1}} }{4(t^3+1)}

\bf \cfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}=\cfrac{6t[2(t^3+1)]-1}{4(t^3+1)\sqrt{t^3+1}}\implies 
\boxed{\cfrac{d^2s}{dt^2}=\cfrac{12t^4+12t-1}{4t^3+4\sqrt{t^3+1}}}\leftarrow a(t)\\\\
