If an open box has a square base and a volume of 115 in.3 and is constructed from a tin sheet, find the dimensions of the box, a

Karolina [17]

Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.

Volume of the box is $V=x^{2} h = 115$ .
So $h = \frac{115}{ x^{2} }$

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
$S = 2( x^{2} + hx + hx) \\ = 2 x^{2} + 4hx \\ = 2 x^{2} + 4( \frac{115}{ x^{2} } )x$
$= 2 x^{2} + \frac{460}{x}$
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

$S' = 4x- \frac{460}{ x^{2} } = 0$
$4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} } \\ 4x^{3} = 460 \\ x^{3} = 115 \\ x = \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86$
Then $h= \frac{115}{4.86^{2}} = 4.87$
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.

Which of these is the algebraic expression for "eight less than some number?"

kipiarov [429]

B-8 would be the answer. This is because we are saying you have 8 less than something. So no matter what something is, we are taking away 8 from it. Since our something is unknown, we use our variable 'b' in its place, and subtract 8, giving us b-8.<span />
