2(3x+4) you multiply 2 times 3x and 2 times 4 which gives you 6x+8
The optimum shape of such a box is half a cube. The corresponding cube will have a volume of 2×256 ft³ = 512 ft³ = (8 ft)³. Such a box has a square base that is 8 ft on a side. If the height is half that of the cube, it will be 4 ft.
The dimensions of your box will be 8 ft square by 4 ft high.
_____
If the base dimension is x ft, the area (quantity of material) is
... a = x² + 4x(256/x²)
... a = x² + 1024x⁻¹
Then the derivative of area with respect to x is
... a' = 2x -1024x⁻²
Setting this derivative to zero and solving for x gives the value of x for minimum area.
... 0 = 2x -1024/x²
... 512 = x³
... x = 8 . . . . . . . . same as above.
Answer:
Compound interest is that which, once generated, is added to the capital, in order to expand the calculation base on which, in turn, new interests will be generated. Thus, in short, if the interest is, for example, 5 percent, said interest will be added to the initial capital, with which that 5% generated will be increasing, since it will be calculated on an increasingly large basis.
Compound interest is very important for financial investments, as it maximizes the results of said investments, even more so when compared to simple interest, in which the interest generated is not added to the initial capital.
(a) He would drive 96 km in an hour because 1152 divided by 12 is 96
(b) He is technically on schedule because he is driving 104 km per hour, instead of 96, so if he keeps driving at the same rate, he should get there in under 12 hours
