Answer:
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms: 7x-11=-46
Add 11 to -46: -35
Divide: 7x/-35
ANSWER: x=-5
Answer:
27 inches <3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side of the square base be x
h be the height of the box
Volume V = x²h
13500 = x²h
h = 13500/x² ..... 1
Surface area = x² + 2xh + 2xh
Surface area S = x² + 4xh ...... 2
Substitute 1 into 2;
From 2; S = x² + 4xh
S = x² + 4x(13500/x²)
S = x² + 54000/x
To minimize the amount of material used; dS/dx = 0
dS/dx = 2x - 54000/x²
0 = 2x - 54000/x²
0 = 2x³ - 54000
2x³ = 54000
x³ = 27000
x = ∛27000
x = 30cm
Since V = x²h
13500 = 30²h
h = 13500/900
h = 15cm
Hence the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is 30cm by 30cm by 15cm
It Would be A 1km because its 1000 meters
