Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.

Volume of the box is  V=x^{2} h = 115. 
So h = \frac{115}{ x^{2} }

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
S = 2( x^{2}  + hx + hx)  \\ = 2 x^{2}  + 4hx  \\  = 2 x^{2}  + 4( \frac{115}{ x^{2} } )x
= 2 x^{2} + \frac{460}{x}
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

S' = 4x- \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  = 0
4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  \\  4x^{3} = 460  \\ x^{3} = 115  \\ x =  \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86
Then h=  \frac{115}{4.86^{2}} = 4.87
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.

<span>length = 6.13 Width = 6.13 Height = 3.06 Let's use the variable L to represent the length of a bottom edge of the box. With that, the height of the box will be 115 / w^2. Since the box is open, the box will have a bottom, and 4 sides. No top. So the expression for the surface area of the box will be w^2 + 4w(115/w^2) = w^2 + 460/w Since we're looking for a local minimum, that will be at a point where the first derivative of the function is 0. So the first derivative is: 2w - 460/w^2 = 2w^3/w^2 - 460/w^2 = (2w^3 - 460)/w^2 = 2(w^3 - 230)/w^2 The above derivative has a real zero at the cube root of 230 which is approximately 6.126926 So the length of the sides of the box are 6.13 inches and the height of the box is 115/(6.13^2) = 3.06 inches.</span>

The answer is -4 because 4+2 is equal to 6 and then 6-2 is equal to 4 and then times into the number of 2 the answer is 4x2 is equal to 8 and then minus into the negative 5 an the answer is -4.

PLEASEE HELP I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST.
just olya [345]

Answer:

No, Elias doesn't have enough quantity of each ingredient to make 45 mince pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

For making 18 Mince Pies Elias needs

200g Butter

225g flour

150g sugar

250g Mincemeat

1 egg

Inorder to make 45 mince pie's he's gonna need 45/18=2.5 times the ingredients he needs to make 18 Mince Pies.

As he doesn't have enough Mincemeat (has only 600g but needs 250*2.5=625g of mincemeat)

As he is short of 25g of Mincemeat, he is unable to make 45 Mincepies.

3y-4x=3 find the rate of change for each function above Which function has the greatest rate of change?does any pair of function
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Sounds as though this problem presented several rates of change, but you have shared only one:  3y - 4x = 3.  If we take x to be the independent variable, then 3y = 4x + 3, and y = (4/3)x + 1.  The rate of change of this function (the rate of change of y with respect to x) is therefore 4/3.
