1 cup left because 2 plus 2 is 4 and you have 5 so you would have 1 left

Please hurry; Which function increases the fastest? A. y 5 14x B. y 5 23 · 17x C. y 5 120x D. y 5 2275x^x

Maurinko [17]

Answer: y = 14^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the options are:

a y = 14^x

b y = -3*(17)^x

c y = 120x

d y = -275x

to see which function increases the fastest (or which function is steeper) we need to look at the first derivations of each one of these, and see which one is larger for every value of x:

the derivations are:

a y = x*14^(x - 1)

b y = -x*3*(17)^(x - 1)

c y = 120

d y = -275

So we can already discard options c and d, because have constant rate of change.

Then we keep options a and b.

Always when we have an exponential function, like a^x and b^x

The one with the larger base will be steeper.

So if a > b, then:

a^x is steeper than b^x

In this case, the function:

y = -3*(17)^x

has a larger base, but, this function is negative.

This means that as x increases, our function will decrease, then this function will not "increase the fastest" (because it does not increase)

Then the left option (a: y = 14^x)

Will be the correct one.

(this will happen after some value of x, because two of the options have constant derivatives, these may be steeper for smaller values of x, and as x increases, we will see that y = 14^x is the one that increases the fastest)

How much cardboard is needed to make the tissue box above? Square inches 8 3 3

Katen [24]

The amount of cardboard needed to make a cuboid box of dimensions 8 inch, 3 inches and 3 inches is 114 sq. inches.

<h3>What is the surface area of cuboid?</h3>

Let the three dimensions(height, length, width) be x, y,z units respectively.

The surface area of the cuboid is given by

$S = 2(a\times b + b\times c + c\times a)$

For this case, tissue box is almost cuboid shaped.

Also, its dimensions are given being 8 inches, 3 inches and 3 inches.

Suppose we measure the amount of cardboard needed in terms of area, then, the amount of cardboard needed to make that box(without any whole, full cuboid) is equal to the area of its surface(either outer or inner if we assume 0 inches thickness of cardboard),

Thus, we get:

Amount of cardboard needed = surface area of cuboid box with dimensions 8 by 3 by 3 (in inches)

= $2(8 \times 3 + 3 \times 3 + 3 \times 8) = 114 \: \rm in^2$
