Answer:

b = 4.6 ft

h = 2.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the tank is given by:

b^2*h=49

Where 'b' is the length of the each side of the square base, and 'h' is the height of the tank.

The surface area can be written as:

A=b^2+4bh\\A=b^2+4b*({\frac{49}{b^2}})\\A=b^2+\frac{196}{b}

The value of b for which the derivate of the expression above is zero is the value that yields the minimum surface area:

\frac{dA}{db} =0=2b-\frac{196}{b^2}\\2b^3=196\\b=4.61\ ft

The value of h is then:

h=\frac{49}{4.61^2}\\h=2.31\ ft

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the dimensions are b = 4.6 ft and h = 2.3 ft.

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to begin by separating the shape into two distinct rectangles. The larger one has dimensions 15 cm * 8cm, while the smaller one has dimensions 7cm * 5cm. Adding these together, you get 15*8+7*5=155 square centimeters, or option C. Hope this helps!

What is the range of the function graphed on the grid? { x │ x = -2, 2, 4} {y│-3 ≤ y ≤ 4} {y│ y = -3, 0, 4} { x │-2 ≤ x ≤ 4}
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The image is sideways.

But if your graph is like on the image, then the answer is: {y│-3 ≤ y ≤ 4}

Range is the set of y values

Least function value is -3 and greatest is 4
