A lidless box is to be made with a volume of 256256 ft cubed 3. Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of

material.

The optimum shape of such a box is half a cube. The corresponding cube will have a volume of 2×256 ft³ = 512 ft³ = (8 ft)³. Such a box has a square base that is 8 ft on a side. If the height is half that of the cube, it will be 4 ft.

The dimensions of your box will be 8 ft square by 4 ft high.

_____

If the base dimension is x ft, the area (quantity of material) is

... a = x² + 4x(256/x²)

... a = x² + 1024x⁻¹

Then the derivative of area with respect to x is

... a' = 2x -1024x⁻²

Setting this derivative to zero and solving for x gives the value of x for minimum area.

... 0 = 2x -1024/x²

... 512 = x³

... x = 8 . . . . . . . . same as above.

Lynna [10]
The answer for the question shown above is the first option, which is:
 - Direct.

 The explanation is shown below:
 1. The problem says that <span>The number of tons of coal  varies as the number of hours.
 2. Therefore, you can write the following equation:
 number of tons:x
 number of hours:y
 x=ky
 Where k is the constant of variation.
 3. Therere the variation is direct.</span>

Which quadratic relation has a y-intercept of 8?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

y = 0.5 (x^2 -2x + 16) has a y-intercept of 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of every y-intercept is zero.  To determine which of the four quadratics given here has a y-intercept of 8, we need only substitute 0 for x in each; if the result is 8, we've found the desired quadratic.

O y = 0.5(x + 2)(x + 4) becomes y = 0.5(2)(4) = 4 (reject this answer)

O y = 0.5 (x - 2)(x + 8) becomes y = 0.5(-2)(8) = -8 (reject)

O y = 0.5(x2 -2x - 16) becomes y = 0.5(-16) = -8 (reject)

<em>O y = 0.5 (x2 -2x + 16) becomes y = 0.5(16) = 8 This is correct; that '8' represents the y-intercept (0, 8).</em>

A piece of a chain's length and weight are in proportion. If 320 cm of chain weighs 8 kg, then
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

B. 80 cm of chain weighs 2 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to choose the correct answer, we need to define the comparative relation between the length and weight of the chain. We will do this by performing the simple operation of division.

It is easier to divide the larger number by the smaller and that is what we will show here (although <em>you can do as you wish and still get the same result</em> - it's math!):

320 ÷ 8 = 40

The result we got is 40. This means that <u>the length of the chain is equal to the value of forty of its weights!</u> And this will be the operation we will perform in order to determine the right answer:

A) Does 2 (kg) multiplied by 40 equal 40 (cm)? No, therefore, it is incorrect.

B) Does 2 (kg) multiplied by 40 equal 80 (cm)? <u>Yes, this answer is correct!</u>

Just in case, we will perform this action with the rest of the possible choices:

C) 4 kg × 40 = 160 and NOT 80 cm.

D) 2 kg × 40 = 80 and NOT 160 cm.
