A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 50 ft3. The material for the base costs 42¢/ft2, the material for the

sides costs 10th¢/ft2, and the material for the top costs 30¢/ft2. Letting x denote the length of one side of the base, find a function in the variable x giving the cost (in dollars) of constructing the box.

Answer:

f(x)=72x^{2} +\frac{2000}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First of all, we are going to see what is the area of each element of the box.

The area of the base is x² (because x is the length of the side of the square base).

The area of the top is x² as well.

Now, the area of each side will be x·h where h is the height of the box. The box has 4 sides so the total area of the sides will be 4x·h

However, we can express h in terms of x because we have the total volume of the box:

V = (base area) · height = 50 ft³

50 = x²h

50/x² = h

Therefore, the area of the 4 sides will be: 4(x)(h) = 4x(\frac{50}{x^{2} } )=\frac{200}{x}

2) Now we are going to find the function giving the cost of constructing the box:

To find the function, we are going to use the prices we are given.

The price of the base, top and sides will be (for each of them): (price per ft²)(area in ft²)

Therefore the function to find the price (in cents) would be:

f(x)=42x^{2} +30x^{2} +(10)(\frac{200}{x} )\\f(x)=72x^{2} +\frac{2000}{x}

What is the measure of < C
Zepler [3.9K]
Well in a right angle triangle, we know that angle C would be 90 degrees, we can check this by solving for X and seeing if the expression 2x will give us a value of 90 degrees.

So 2x = 90
X = 90/2
X = 45 degrees.

90 = 2x
90 = 2(45)
90 = 90.

Thus since the equation is true, X = 45 degrees, we can also solve for the remaining angles knowing what X is.

How do I find the value of X ???
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
To solve for the value of x, you can simply add all of the values and expressions together and make it equal to 180 degrees, since the sum of all angles in a triangle add up to this amount.

Then we can solve for X, by algebra.

3x + 17 = 2x - 6<br> What’s the answer for x
julia-pushkina [17]
3x+17=2x-6
-2x -2x * subtract 2x from both sides* *3x-2x is 1x*
1x+17=-6 *now subtract 17 from both sides*
-17 -17
1x=-23
1x. 1x
x=23
