Answer:

The cost of materials for the cheapest such container is $163.54.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have a volume of 10 m³.

The volume of the rectangle is

\text{Volume} =\text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height}

Length of its base is twice the width.

Let Width be 'w'.

Length is l=2w.

Height be 'h'.

10 =2w\times w\times h

10=2w^2h

The height in terms of width is represented as,

h=\frac{10}{2w^2}

h=\frac{5}{w^2}

According to question,

The cost is 10 times the area of the base and 6 times the total area of the sides.

i.e. Cost is given by,

C=10(L\times W)+6(2\times L\times H+2\times W\times H)

C=10(2w\times w)+6(2\times 2w\times \frac{5}{w^2}+2\times w\times \frac{5}{w^2})

C=20w^2+\frac{120}{w}+\frac{60}{w}

C(w)=20w^2+\frac{180}{w}

To get the minimum value,

Differentiate the cost w.r.t 'w',

C'(w)=20\frac{d(w^2)}{dw}+180\frac{d(w^{-1})}{dw}

C'(w)=20\times 2w-180 w^{-2}

C'(w)=40w-\frac{180}{w^2}

To find critical points put derivate =0,

40w-\frac{180}{w^2}=0

40w=\frac{180}{w^2}

w^3=\frac{180}{40}

w=\sqrt[3]{4.5}

w=1.65

We find the second derivative to minimize,

C''(w)=40\frac{d(w)}{dw}-180\frac{d(w^{-2})}{dw}

C''(w)=40+360(w^{-3})

C''(w)>0

As C''(w)>0 it is the minimum cost.

The cost is minimum at w=1.65.

Substitute the values in the cost function,

C(1.65)=20(1.65)^2+\frac{180}{1.65}

C(1.65)=54.45+109.09

C(1.65)=163.54

Therefore, the cost of materials for the cheapest such container is $163.54.

C=30m+50 and c=20m+100<br> solve for m pls help
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

m=5

Step-by-step explanation:

c=30m+50

c=20m+100

substitute

20m+100=30m+50

like terms

100-50=30m-20m

50=10m

m=5

With a capacity of 6,300 people, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas is the world’s largest cruise ship. The average beer consum
Mariulka [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 81740

Standard deviation = 4590

Sample size = 15

Alpha level = 1-0.95 = 0.05

Df = 15-1 = 14

Critical value:

alpha/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.05

t0.025

t critical value = 2.145

Margin of error ME

2.145 x 4590/√15

2.145 x 4590/3.873

ME = 2542.09

Confidence interval

Lower CI = mean - ME

= 81740-2542.09

= 79197.91

Upper CI = mean + ME

= 81740+2542.09

= 84282.09

[ 79197.91, 84282.09]

B.

Using excel, exact answer for CI

Lower limit = 79198.142724212173

Upper limit = 84281.8572757827

C.

The assumptions to be made from the population are that

1. Samples are random

2. These samples are gotten from an approximately normal distribution

Which has the greater area: a 6 6‐centimeter by 4 1 2 412‐centimeter rectangle or a square with a side that measures 5 5 centime
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The square with side 5 centimeters have a greater area.

Corrected question;

Which has the greater area: a 6‐centimeter by 4.12‐centimeter rectangle or a square with a side that measures 5 centimeters?

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of a rectangle can be written as;

Area A = length × breadth

Given;

Length = 6 cm

Breadth = 4.12 cm

Substituting the values;

Area of rectangle = 6cm × 4.12cm = 24.72 cm^2

For the square;

Area of a square = length × length

Given;

Length = 5 cm

Substituting the values;

Area of the square = 5cm × 5cm = 25 cm^2

Since 25 cm^2 is greater than 24.72 cm^2

The square has a greater area.
