Answer:

a = length of the base = 2.172 m

b = width of the base = 1.357 m

c = height = 4.072 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is 12 cubic meters. Assume that the cost of materials for the base is 12 dollars per square meter, and the cost of materials for the sides is 8 dollars per square meter. The height of the box is three times the width of the base. What’s the least amount of money we can spend to build such a container?

lets call a = length of the base

b = width of the base

c = height

V = a.b.c = 12

Area without the top:

Area = ab + 2bc + 2ac

Cost  = 12ab + 8.2bc + 8.2ac

Cost = 12ab + 16bc + 16ac

height = 3.width

c = 3b

Cost = 12ab + 16b.3b + 16a.3b = 12ab + 48b² + 48ab = 48b² + 60ab

abc = 12 → ab.3b = 12 → 3ab² = 12 → ab² = 4 → a = 4/b²

Cost = 48b² + 60ab = 48b² + 60b.4/b² = 48b² + 240/b

C(b) = 48b² + 240/b

C'(b) = 96b - 240/b²

Minimum cost: C'(b) = 0

96b - 240/b² = 0

(96b³ - 240)/b² = 0

96b³ - 240 = 0

96b³ = 240

b³ = 240/96

b³ = 2.5

b = 1.357m

c = 3b = 3*1.357 = 4.072m

a = 4/b² = 2.172m

What are the total amount of choices possible if an individual is to create a 4 digit password using the digits 0 through 9 incl
Serga [27]

Answer:

10000 options

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 options of digit from 0 to 9. It means there are 10 options for the first slot, 10 for the 2nd slot, 10 for the 3rd slot, and 10 for the last slot of each of the 4 slots of the password. For all 4 passwords the total amount of choices would be

10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 10^4 = 10000 options ranging from 0000 to 9999

Find the values of x and y.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C, (x = 100, y = 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

hi again,

(2x - 70) = (x + 30), by the Alternate Exterior Angles

x - 70 = 30

<em>x = 100</em>

<em />

(2x - 70) + 5y = 180, by the Linear Pair Theorem

2(100) - 70 + 5y = 180

200 - 70 + 5y = 180

130 + 5y = 180

5y = 50

<em>y = 10</em>
