"a box is constructed out of two different types of metal. the metal for the top and bottom, which are both square, costs $4 per

square foot and the metal for the sides costs $7 per square foot. find the dimensions that minimize cost if the box has a volume of 30 cubic feet."

The base of the box is b ft by b ft and the height is h ft. 
<span>Since the volume is 40 ft³, </span>
<span>h = 40/b² </span>

<span>area of bottom = area of top = b² ft² </span>
<span>area of one side = bh </span>
<span>cost C = 2·4b² + 4·7bh </span>
<span>= 8b² + 28b(40/b²) </span>
<span>= 8b² + 1120/b </span>
<span>dC/db = 16b - 1120/b² </span>

<span>min cost when dC/db = 0 </span>
<span>16b = 1120/b² </span>
<span>b = ∛70 ≅ 4.12 ft </span>
<span>h = 40/b² ≅ 2.36 ft</span>

Select all of the following graphs which represent y as a function of x
Elden [556K]
A, B, D, and E are correct.

What makes these a function and the others not is that for each x value, there is only one y value. For C, for example, there are multiple y values for the x value of -2. The same goes for F.

What is the measure of m&lt;1 will ensure that the rail is parallel to the bottom of the staircase?
cricket20 [7]

You can observe that angle 1 and angle with 47° are inside a parallelogram.

Consider that the sum of the internal angles of a parallelogram is 360°.

Moreover, consider that the angle at the top right of the parallogram is congruent with the angle of 47°, then, such an angle is if 47°.

Consider that angle down right side is congruent with angle 1, then, they have the same measure.

You can write the previous situation in the following equation:

47 + 47 + ∠1 + ∠1 = 360 simplify like terms

94 + 2∠1 = 360 subtract both sides by 94

2∠1 = 360 - 94

2∠1 = 266 divide by 2 both sides

∠1 = 266/2

∠1 = 133

Hence, the measure of angle 1 is m∠1 = 133°

Write the equation of the line parallel to 5x + y = -2 that goes through the point (2, -3).​
gladu [14]

Answer:

y = -5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Define

5x + y = -2

Random point (2, -3)

Step 2: Rewrite

y = -5x - 2

m = -5

Step 3: Write parallel line

y = -5x + b

-3 = -5(2) + b

-3 = -10 + b

7 = b

y = -5x + 7
