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

George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair. write an inequality to find the minimum number of socks h
Anit [1.1K]

The inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

In the question, we are given that George bought socks for $300.

Therefore, George's total cost = $300.

We assume the number of pairs of socks George sells to be s.

The unit price per pair quoted by George = $6

Therefore, George's total sales = $6s.

We know that the profit over a transaction is given as the difference between sales and costs, that is,

The profit = The total sales - the total costs,

or, profit = 6s - 300.

In the question, we are required to make a profit of more than 210.

This can be shown by the inequality,

6s - 300 > 210.

Thus, the inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

What is the approximate length of the radius of a circle with a circumference of 63 inches?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: 63/2π

Step-by-step explanation: C=πd  

                                             63=πd

                                             D=63/π

r=1/2d

1/2×63/π=<u>63/2π</u>
