"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>

saul85 [17]

Answer:

b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  425 - 25b  =   -25 • (b - 17)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    -25   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    b-17 = 0

Add  17  to both sides of the equation :

                     b = 17

One solution was found :

                  b = 17

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

x = √(10)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the measure of the side marked x

what we have is an isosceles right triangle since the two acute angles of the right triangle are 45 degrees each

Hence, the other last side will measure x too

Mathematically, according to Pythagoras’; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus;

x^2 + x^2 = (√5)^2

2x^2 = 5

x^2 = 5/2

x = √(5/2)

x = √5/√2

Rationalizing the denominator;

x = (√2 * √5)/(√2 * √2)

x = √10/2

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the graph of f(x) and g(x)=f(x+2) ?
Ahat [919]

Adding a value to the X value shifts the graph that many units to the left.

X+2 adds 2 to x, so the graph would shift 2 unites to the left.

The answer is:

The graph of g(x) is the graph of ​f(x)​ translated 2 units left.
