Answer:

x =  3.53 ft

y - 3.53 ft

z = 3.53 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

given details

volume = 44 ft^3

let cardboard dimension is x and y and height be z

we know that area of given cardboard without lid is given as

A = xy + 2xy + 2yz

xyz   = 44 ft^3

To minimize area we have

A = xy + 2x (44/xy) + 2y(44/xy)

A = xy + (44/y) + (44/x)

we have

Ax = y - \frac{44}{x^2}

0 = yx^2 = 44................1

Ay = x - \frac{44}{y^2}

0 = x - \frac{44}{y^2}

xy^2 = 44 ..............2

from 1 and 2

yx^2 = xy^2

xy(y-x) = 0

xy = 0 or y = x

from geometry of probelem

x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0

so y = x

x^3 = 44

x =  3.53 ft = y

z = 44/xy = 3.53

How to solve for x 2+9x^2=6
juin [17]

Answer:

The answer is : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2+9x^2=6

9x^2 = 6 - 2

9x^2 = 4

x^2 = 4/9

x = √(4/9)

x = 2/3

Please help!! For each sum or product, determine whether the result is a rational number or an irrational number. Then choose th
Troyanec [42]
1. Rational/The sum of two rationals is always rational
2. Irrational/ the sum of a rational and an irrational is always irrational
3. Irrational/The product of a nonzero rational and an irrational is always irrational
4. Rational/The product of two rationals is always rational

Pretty much all the irrational numbers are the ones with radical signs over them and the rational numbers are the fractions and whole numbers. Once you identify the two numbers to be rational or irrational, you can then find your answer within the second part of the answers.

A rental car company has noticed that the distribution of the number of miles customers put on rental cars per day is skewed to
kodGreya [7K]

Using the Central Limit Theorem, the correct option is:

(c) Average number of miles put on a rental car per day across 25 customers.

--------------------------

The Central Limit Theorem states that, for a normally distributed variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means of size m are approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

  • The interpretation related to this problem is that the larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
  • Thus, among the options, the largest sample is 25, thus, option c will have the smallest standard deviation.

Determinewhether the two lines areparallel, perpendicular, neither.X-3=6Y = 3x +4
Brums [2.3K]

we have the lines

x-3=6

x=6+3

x=9

this is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

The slope is undefined

and

y=3x+4

The slope is m=3

Compare their slopes

1) Their slopes are not equal -----> are not parallel lines

2) Their slopes are not negative reciprocal -----> are not perpendicular lines

therefore

<h2>The answer is neither</h2>

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Sampling is necessary because researchers in the social sciences almost never have enough resources — time or money — to collect information about the entire set of subjects of interest to them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling is done because you usually cannot gather data from the entire population. Even in relatively small populations, the data may be needed urgently, and including everyone in the population in your data collection may take too long.
