Let:

Op = Original price

Pp = Price to get a profit of 30%

Fp = Final price

So:

$\begin{gathered} Pp=Op+0.3\cdot Op \\ Pp=60000+0.3\cdot60000 \\ Pp=60000+18000 \\ Pp=78000 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} Fp=Pp-0.1\cdot Pp \\ Fp=78000-0.1\cdot78000 \\ Fp=78000-7800 \\ Fp=70200 \end{gathered}$

The final price is $70200 and the percentage profit is:

$\begin{gathered} 70200=60000+r\cdot60000 \\ 60000r=70200-60000 \\ 60000r=10200 \\ r=\frac{10200}{60000} \\ r=0.17 \end{gathered}$

The percentage profit of the final price is 17%

A rectangle box with a square base and no top needs to be made using 300ft^2 of material. Find the dimensions of the box with th

Yuri [45]

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle box with

A square base and no top
It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material
It has greatest volume

Surface area of a box without top (SA) = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

Volume of a box (V) = base area × height

Assume that the length of the side of the square base is x and the height of the box is y

∵ It needs to be made using 300 ft² of material

∴ The surface area of the box is 300 ft²

∵ Its base is a square of side length x ft

∴ Perimeter of the base = 4 × x = 4 x

∴ Area of the base = x²

∵ The height of the box = y ft

∵ SA = perimeter of base × height + area of the base

∵ SA = (4x)(y) + x²

∴ SA = 4xy + x²

∵ SA of the box = 300 ft²

- Equate the two expressions of SA

∴ 4xy + x² = 300

Now let us find y in terms of x

- Subtract x² from both sides

∴ 4xy = 300 - x²

- Divide each term by 4x to find y

∴ $y=\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x$

∵ V = area of the base × height

∴ V = x² × y = x²y

- Substitute y by the equation of it above

∴ $V=x^{2}(\frac{75}{x}-\frac{1}{4}x)$

∴ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ The volume of the box is greatest

- That means differentiate V and equate it by 0

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}$

∵ $\frac{dV}{dx}=0$ ⇒ greatest volume

∴ $75-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=0$

- Subtract 75 from both sides

∴ $-\frac{3}{4}x^{2}=-75$

- Divide both sides by $-\frac{3}{4}$

∴ x² = 100

- Take √ for both sides

∴ x = 10

Substitute the value of x in the equation of y

∵ $y=\frac{75}{10}-\frac{1}{4}(10)$

∴ y = 5

The dimensions of the box are 10 ft and 5 ft

∵ $V=75x-\frac{1}{4}x^{3}$

∵ x = 10

∴ $V=75(10)-\frac{1}{4}(10)^{3}$

∴ $V=750-\frac{1}{4}(1000)$

∴ V = 750 - 250

∴ V = 500 ft³

The maximum volume is 500 ft³

SHOW ALL WORK BUT KEE IT SIMPLE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND:)

7nadin3 [17]

To do this problem, you need to use a process called completing the square. Let me explain:

To complete the square on the function f(x) = x² + 8x +13, first group the first two terms in ( ) and leave some space at the end as follows:
f(x) = (x² + 8x ) + 13 Now our next step is to fill in the space and adjust our expression on the right hand side of the function. To do this, we take half of the middle number 8 and then square it: so 4² = 16 and we fill in our space inside the ( ) with this value 16;
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13 now what we have done is to increase the overall value of our expression on the right by 16, but we want the overall value to remain the same. To fix this we simply need to subtract 16 at the end like this: f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) + 13 -16 we can simplify and get the following.
f(x) = (x² + 8x + 16) - 3 At this point we're almost done.. All we need to do now is to rewrite the what is in the parentheses in a slightly different form. Here is what it will look like: f(x) = (x + 4)² - 3 notice all I did was take the sum of the square root of x² and the square root of 16 originally in the ( ) to get then new expression inside the ( ) and then square that ( )²

Now this is a nice form to have because you can get the vertex straight from this form.. IN FACT this is called vertex form or (h,k) form for short. In general the form is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k don't worry about the 'a' for now.. you might see that in our case it is just 1 and will not effect our equation. You only have to consider this if the original leading coefficient of the quadratic is not 1 to begin with...

So you can see that our vertex is (-4,-3)
Hope this is helpful, but if you have questions let me know.

A square pyramid has a height of 6 units and a volume of 70 units3. If a square prism has the same base area and volume as the s

inysia [295]

Answer:

The height is 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the base of the square pyramid

we know that

The volume of the square pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

where

B is the area of the base and H is the height of the pyramid

we have

$H=6\ units$

$V=70\ units^{3}$

substitute in the formula and solve for B

$70=\frac{1}{3}B(6)$

$B=70/2=35\ units^{2}$

step 2

Find the height of the square prism

we know that

The volume of the square prism is equal to

$V=Bh$

where

B is the area of the base and h is the height of the prism

we have

$B=35\ units^{2}$

$V=70\ units^{3}$

substitute in the formula and solve for h

$70=(35)h$

$h=2\ units$
