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>

Just get only one of  the placeholder on one side by itself
and do the same thing to both sides so it stays equal
3x+7=5x-21
add 21 to both sides
3x+28=5x
subtract 3x from obht sides
28=2x
sivide both sides by 2
14=x

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

As you need a 47%, you universe of numbers should be form 0 to 99 (or 1 to 100, the important fact is you need 100 numbers). With this, you can discard A and D. You can also discard C, as you need 47 good realizations as you probability is 47%, and C gives you 48 (00 also counts)

You need as many observations as you can, to get a more consistent estimation. This means, as many observations as you can.  You could use B or E, because both have 47 good observations (for u), but E gives you a larger sample.

If you are trying to get a head with 50% throwing a dime, you will, statistically, do better throwing it 47 times than only 10 times.
