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.

3x + ky = 8
sattari [20]

Answer:

(a): <u>x</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>ky</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u>

<u>(</u><u>b</u><u>)</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>k</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let: 3x + ky = 8 be <em>e</em><em>q</em><em>u</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>a</em><em>)</em>

x - 2 ky = 5 be <em>e</em><em>q</em><em>u</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>b</em><em>)</em>

<em> </em>Then multiply <em>e</em><em>q</em><em>u</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>a</em><em>)</em><em> </em>by 2:

→ 6x + 2ky = 16, let it be <em>e</em><em>q</em><em>u</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>c</em><em>)</em>

Then <em>e</em><em>q</em><em>u</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>c</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>e</em><em>q</em><em>u</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>b</em><em>)</em><em>:</em>

<em>{ \sf{(6  + 1)x + (2 - 2)ky = (16  +  5)}} \\ { \sf{7x = 21}} \\ { \sf{x = 3}}</em>

<em>T</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>:</em>

{ \sf{2ky = 3 - 5}} \\ { \sf{ky =  - 1}}

{ \bf{y =  \frac{1}{2} }} \\ { \sf{ky =  - 1}} \\ { \sf{k =  - 2}}
