A home improvement contractor is painting the walls and ceiling of a rectangular room. The volume of the room is 1584 cubic feet

. The cost of wall paint is $0.06 per square foot and the cost of ceiling paint is $0.11 per square foot. Find the room dimensions that will minimize the cost of the paint. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. ft

Answer:

The room dimensions that will minimize the cost of the paint are 12 ft x 12 ft x 11 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find first the volume equation using the formula of the volume of a box.

V= xyz

Thus we get the constraint function

1584 = xyz

Then since we are asked to minimize the cost, we can write the cost function which is the area of each one of the walls and ceiling multiplied by the painting cost.

C=0.11 xy+ 2(0.06)xz+2(0.06yz \\ C =0.11 xy+0.12xz+0.12yz

Lagrange Multipliers to find minimum cost.

We can continue finding the partial derivatives to build the system of equations required for Lagrange Multipliers method.

C_x=\lambda V_x \\ C_y = \lambda V_y \\ C_z = \lambda V_z

And the constraint function

xyz=1584

So we get

0.11y+0.12z=\lambda yz \\ 0.11x+0.12z=\lambda xz \\ 0.12x+0.12y=\lambda xy\\ xyz=1584

We can multiply each side of each equation by the dimension which is missing to get the full volume on the right side.

0.11xy+0.12xz=\lambda xyz \\ 0.11xy+0.12yz=\lambda xyz \\ 0.12xz+0.12yz=\lambda xyz

Then we can set each the equations equal to each other, so from the first one and the second equation we get

0.11xy+0.12xz= 0.11xy+0.12yz

We can subtract 0.11xy from both sides.

0.12xz=0.12yz

And we can divide both sides by 0.12z to get

x=y

We can repeat the process by setting the first and third equation equal to each other.

0.11xy+0.12xz= 0.12xz+0.12yz

We can subtract 0.12 xz from both sides

0.11xy=0.12yz

And we can solve by z

z= \cfrac{0.11x}{0.12}\\ z = \cfrac{11x}{12}

So if we replace that as well y = x on the constraint for the volume euqation we get

1584=x(x)\left(\cfrac{11}{12}x\right) \\ 1584=\cfrac{11}{12}x^3

We can then solve for x

x^3 = \cfrac{1584(12)}{11}

And taking the cube root

x = \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{1584(12)}{11}}

x = \sqrt[3]{1728}

x=12 ft

So then we can use the equations we have found for y and z in terms of x

y = x \\ y = 12 ft

And

z= \cfrac{11x}{12}\\z= \cfrac{11(12)}{12} \\ z=11ft

Then the dimensions of the room that will minimize the cost are 12ft x 12 ft x 11 ft. Since you have to enter using commas you can write 12, 12, 11, please check as well if you have to insert the units that are feet for each.

A househusband is cooking beef stew for his family in a pan that is (a) uncovered, (b) covered with a light lid, and (c) covered
raketka [301]

Answer:

Cooking will be shortest when the househusband covers the beef stew with the heavy lid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation for this is that water boils at 100°C at normal atmospheric pressure & it remains at that temperature until all the water evaporates as steam; the temperature can then go higher in steam form.

So, if he leaves the pan uncovered the pressure above the beef stew will be the atmospheric pressure and the temperature of the stew will not pass the 100°C mark and the food cooks at 100°C.

If he places a light lid on top, the pressure will build up & the temperature at which water remains liquid is a bit higher, but eventually the steam will push the lid to escape thereby releasing pressure & reducing the temperature.

If he puts a heavy lid on the pan the pressure can build up the highest and the temperature of the water in the stew will stay the highest ensuring the fastest cooking.

Basically, the heavier the lid, greater the pressure in the pan. As the pressure gets greater, the saturation temperature at which water starts boiling will be higher. And higher boiling temperatures mean shorter cooking times.

Express the following numbers as a product of their prime factors <br> 24<br> Please show working
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2 x 2 x 2 x 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 24:

2 x 12 = 24

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 12, a factor of 24. Replace 12 with these numbers:

2 x (2 x 6) = 2 x 12 = 24

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 6, a factor of 12. Replace 6 with these numbers:

2 x (2 x (2 x 3)) = 2 x (2x6) = 2 x 12 = 24

Two and three cannot be factored any further, therefore the prime factors of 24 are 2, 2, 2, and 3.
