Answer:

20 by 20 by 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total surface of the rectangular box be expressed as S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

x is the length of the box

y is the width and

z is the height of the box.

S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz ... 1

Given the volume V = xyz = 8000 ... 2

From equation 2;

z = 8000/xy

Substituting into equation 1;

S = 2xy + 2y(8000/xy)+ 2x(8000/xy)

S = 2xy+16000/x+16000/y

Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to x and y will give;

dS/dx = 2y + (-16000x⁻²)

dS/dx = 2y - 16000/x²

Similarly,

dS/dy = 2x  + (-160000y⁻²)

dS/dy = 2x - 16000/y²

Note that at the turning point, ds/dx = 0 and ds/dy = 0, hence;

2y - 16000/x² = 0 and 2x - 16000/y² = 0

2y = 16000/x² and 2x = 16000/y²

2y = 16000/(8000/y²)²

2y = 16000×y⁴/64,000,000

2y = y⁴/4000

y³ = 8000

y =³√8000

y = 20

Given 2x = 16000/y²

2x = 16000/20²

2x = 16000/400

2x = 40

x = 20

Since Volume of the box is V = xyz

8000 = 20(20)z

8000 = 400z

z = 8000/400

z = 20

Hence, the dimensions which minimize the surface area of this box is 20 by 20 by 20.

What is the sum of the first eight terms of the series?
Ray Of Light [21]
Observe that as the series progresses, the term decreases by 1/4. To show this, observe the first four terms of the series below.

-200 = (1/4)(-800)
-50 = (1/4)(-200)
-12.5 = (1/4)(-50)

Since we have a common ratio, r, of 1/4, we can use the properties of a geometric series to find the 8th term of the series.

Recall that to find the sum of the nth term of a geometric series, we have

S_{n} = a(\frac{1-r^{n}}{1-r})

where a is the first term of the series and r is the ratio.

So, for the first eight terms, we have

S_{8} = -800(\frac{1-(\frac{1}{4})^8}{1- \frac{1}{4}})
S_{8} \approx -1066.65

Therefore, the sum of the 8th series is approximately -1066.65. 

Answer: -1066.65

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

m \angle \theta=120

Generally the angle of inclination is \theta

\theta =180-120

\theta=60

Generally the equation for x is mathematically given by

x=cos60\textdegree *1

x=\frac{1}{2}

Since x exists in the second quadrant

Therefore the value of x in simplest  form is

 x=-\frac{1}{2}

Option C
