A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have a volume of 10 m3. the length of this base is twice the width. mater

ial for the base costs $10 per square meter. material for the sides costs $6 per square meter. find the cost of materials for the cheapest such container. (round your answer to the nearest cent.)

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The volume of the container is 10 m³, therefore
x*2x*h = 10
2x²h = 10
h = 5/x²        (1)

The base area is 2x² m².
The cost is $10 per m², therefore the cost of the base is
(2x²)*($10) = 20x²

The area of the sides is
2hx + 2(2xh) = 6hx = 6x*(5/x²) = 30/x m²
The cost is $6 per m², therefore the cost of the sides is
(30/x)*($6) = 180/x

The total cost is
C = 20x² + 180/x

The minimum cost is determined by C' = 0.
That is,
40x - 180/x² = 0
x³ = 180/40 = 4.5
x = 1.651
The second derivative of C is
C'' = 40 + 360/x³
C''(1.651) = 120 >0, so x = 1.651 m yields the minimum cost.

The total cost is
C = 20(1.651)² + 180/1.651 = $163.54

Answer: $163.54

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Luis would need to have a SAT score of 574.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Nicole's z-score:

ACT scores have a mean of about 21 with a standard deviation of about 5, which means that \mu = 21, \sigma = 5

Nicole gets a score of 24, which means that X = 24. Her z-score is:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{24 - 21}{5}

Z = 0.6

What score would Luis have to have on the SAT to have the same standardized score(z-score) as Nicole's standardized score on the ACT?

Luis would have to get a score with a z-score of 0.6, that is, X when Z = 0.6.

SAT scores have a mean of about 508 with a standard deviation of about 110, which means that \mu = 508, \sigma = 110.

The score is:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.6 = \frac{X - 508}{110}

X - 508 = 0.6*110

X = 574

Luis would need to have a SAT score of 574.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x + 2y = -2 and goes through the point (6,2)
notka56 [123]
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse reciprocals of each other. That would give you the new slope in your equation. After that plug (6,2) into point slope form and solve to get your final equation.
