Answer:

Dimensions 30 in x 30 in x 15 in

Surface Area = 2,700 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'r' be the length of the side of the square base, and 'h' be the height of the bin. The volume is given by:

V=13,500=h*r^2\\h=\frac{13,500}{r^2}

The total surface area is given by:

A=4*hr+r^2

Rewriting the surface area function as a function of 'r':

A=4*\frac{13,500}{r^2} *r+r^2\\A=\frac{54,000}{r}+r^2

The value of 'r' for which the derivate of the surface area function is zero, is the length for which the area is minimized:

A=54,000*r^{-1}+r^2\\\frac{dA}{dr}=0= -54,000*r^{-2}+2r\\\frac{54,000}{r^2}=2r\\ r=\sqrt[3]{27,000}\\r=30\ in

The value of 'h' is:

h=\frac{13,500}{30^2}\\ h=15\ in

The dimensions that will ensure the minimum surface area are 30 in x 30 in x 15 in.

The surface area is:

A=4*15*30+30^2\\A=2,700\ in^2

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 5x = −2?
adoni [48]
X^2 + 5x = -2
x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

x = -b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac) / 2a
a = 1, b = 5, and c = 2

x = -5 (+-) sqrt (5^2 - 4(1)(2)) / 2(1)
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (25 - 8) / 2
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (17) / 2

answer is : negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by 2
