Find a formula for the described function. An open rectangular box with volume 3 m3 has a square base. Express the surface area

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

$SA(x) = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$V = 3m^3$ --- volume

$x \to base\ length$

$y \to height$

Required

The surface area as a function of base length

The volume (V) is calculated as:

$V = Base\ Area * Height$

$V = x*x*y$

$V = x^2*y$

Make y the subject

$y = \frac{V}{x^2}$

Substitute 3 for V

$y = \frac{3}{x^2}$

The surface area of the open box is:

$SA = x^2 + 2xy+2xy$

$SA = x^2 + 4xy$

Substitute: $y = \frac{3}{x^2}$

$SA = x^2 + 4x*\frac{3}{x^2}$

$SA = x^2 + 4*\frac{3}{x}$

$SA = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}$

Hence, the function is:

$SA(x) = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}$

Mr. Gonzales has only $42.50 to spend at a clothing store. He wants to buy a shirt that costs $29, including tax, and some brace

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: The equation is $29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50, and the solution is x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

Gonzales has $42.50

He wants to buy:

a shirt that costs $29

some bracelets that cost $4.50 each.

The equation that we need to solve is:

Total cost = money that Gonzales has.

The cost is $29 + x*$4.50

where x is the number of bracelets he can buy.

The equation that we need to solve is:

$29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50

to solve it we must isolate x:

x*$4.50 = $42.50 - $29 = $13.50

x = 13.50/4.50 = 3

So we have that Mr. Gonzales can buy a total of 3 bracelets.

missy bought 4 bags of chocolates. each bag had 8 pieces of chocolate in it . after her kids ate 6 of the chocolate missy packed

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

There will be 2 numbers of individual bags of chocolates left with Missy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Missy bought 4 bags of chocolates and there are 8 pieces of chocolates in each bag.

Therefore, there was a total (4× 8) = 32 chocolates.

Now, her kids ate 6 of the chocolates.

So, there remains (32 - 6) = 26 chocolates left.

If Missy packed the remaining chocolates into individual bags with 13 chocolates in each bag, then there will be $\frac{26}{13} =2$ numbers of individual bags of chocolates left with Missy. (Answer)
