Total cost, C = 8x^2 + 12xz 
volume, V = (x^2)*z = 10 
C = 8x^2 + 12x*10/x^2 
= 8x^2 + 120/x 
dC/dx = 16x - 120/x^2 = 0 
16x = 120/x^2 
x^3 = 120/16
 x = 1.957 ft

d^2C/dx^2 = 16 +240/x^3 = +ve for x = 1.957 
so, C is minimum when
x = 1.957 ft z = 2.61 ft

Length of the base x is 1.957 ft and height of side z is 2.61 ft

Write equation for the line with a slope "undefined" and has the same x-intercept as x−y−1=0
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines with undefined slopes are perfectly vertical, of the form "x = ". A line with "the same x-intercept" as the given line that has an undefined slope will be the line that we want. I know that sounds confusing; we'll work through it then I'll explain it better. In order to find the x-intercep of the given line, solving it for y will make it a bit easier to "see". Therefore,

-y = -x + 1 and

y = x - 1. The x-intercept exists when y = 0, so setting y equal to 0 and solving for x:

0 = x - 1 and

1 = x. That's the x-intercept. It's also the line that we want that has an undefined slope, because "x = " lines are lines vertical lines and vertical lines have undefined slopes.

x = 1 is the line you want.
