A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 60 ft3. the material for the base costs 33¢/ft2, the material for the

sides costs 10¢/ft2, and the material for the top costs 20¢/ft2. letting x denote the length of one side of the base, find a function in the variable x giving the cost (in dollars) of constructing the box.

The base and top have the same area, so we can add their costs.
.. cost of base + cost of top = (0.33 +0.20)*x^2 . . . . . . . . x measured in feet

The height of the box wil be (60/x^2), and the total length of all sides is the perimeter of the base, 4x. Then the cost of the sides is
.. cost of sides = (0.10)*(60/x^2)*(4x) = 24/x

The total cost of material for the box is
.. total cost = cost of base + cost of top + cost of sides
.. total cost = 0.53x^2 +24/x . . . . . . . . . . dollar cost for x in feet

Find f if f ''(x) = 12x2 + 6x − 4, f(0) = 5, and f(1) = 4.
Taya2010 [7]
This is a differential equations problem.  We are to work backwards and determine the function f(x) when given f "(x) and initial values.

<span>f ''(x) = 12x^2 + 6x − 4, when integrated with respect to x, yields:

                x^3        x^2
f '(x) = 12------ + 6----- - 4x + C, or 4x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x + C, and
                  3            2

             x^4         x^3        x^2
f(x) = 4------- + 3------- - 4------ + Cx + D, or f(x)=x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2 + Cx + D
               4              3         2

Now, because f(0)=5, 5=0^4 + 0^3 -2(0)^2 + C(0) + D, so that D=5.
Determine D in the same manner:  Let x=1 and find the value of C.

Then the solution, f(x), is x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2 + Cx + 5.  Replace C with this value and then you'll have the desired function f(x).</span>

Corinne bought 5 bags of chips and 4 jars of dipping sauce for $21.82. At the same prices, Ginger bought 4 bags of chips and 3 j
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The price of one jar of dipping sauce is $2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the price of one bag of chip

y ----> the price of one jar of dipping sauce

we know that

<em>Corinne</em>

5x+4y=21.82 ----> equation A

<em>Ginger</em>

4x+3y=16.86 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (1.98,2.98)

see the attached figure

therefore

The price of one bag of chip is $1.98

The price of one jar of dipping sauce is $2.98

The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 centimeters. The relationship between the length, the width, and the perimeter of the rectang
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The length in centimeters is (24-x) centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we are told that the equation linking the length, width and perimeter is as follows;

2(length) + 2(width) = 48

But in this case, we are told that the width is x centimeters

2(length) + 2(x) = 48

2(length) = 48-2x

length = (48-2x)/2

length = 24 - x
