<span> 20. Let x represent the amount of books he had:
x + 6 = 1.12x

Subtract x from both sides:
6 = 0.12x

Divide both sides by 0.12; x = 50

Determine if the ordered pair (-5, -1) is a<br> solution of 2x - y =-11.
Marrrta [24]
No, when you plug is -5 for x and -1 for why, it ends up being -9 not -11. (-5,-1) is not a solution.

You have been asked to design a rectangular box with a square base and an open top. The volume of the box must be 500cm3. Determ
babymother [125]

Answer:

x = 10 cm, y = 5 cm gives a minimum area of 300 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

V= x^2y = 500

Surface area A = x^2 + 4xy.

From the first equation y = 500/x^2

So substituting for y in the equation for the surface area:

A = x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2

A = x^2 + 2000/x

Finding the derivative:

dA/dx = 2x - 2000x^-2

dA/dx = 2x - 2000/x^2

This = 0 for a minimum/maximum value of A, so

2x - 2000/x^2  = 0

2x^3 - 2000 = 0

x^3 = 2000/ 2 = 1000

x = 10

Second derivative is  2 + 4000/x^3

when x = 10  this is positive so x = 10 gives a minimum value of A.

So y =  500/x^2

= 500/100

= 5.
