A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 8,788 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

x = y = 26 cm; z = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic solution for the minimum material in an open-top box is that the box is square and half as high as it is wide. It is half a cube of twice the volume.

The dimensions of the square base are ...

∛(2·8788 cm³) = 26 cm

Then the height is half that, or 13 cm.

x = y = 26 cm; z = 13 cm

_____

If you need to see the development, you can use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the minimum area for the given volume;

area = xy +2(xz +yz)

volume = xyz = 8788

We require each of the partial derivatives of L with respect to x, y, z, and λ to be zero.

L = xy +2(xz +yz) +λ(xyz -8788)

partial with respect to x: 0 = y+2z +λyz

partial with respect to y: 0 = x +2z +λxz

partial with respect to z: 0 = 2x+2y +λxy

partial with respect to λ: 0 = xyz -8788

From the first two equations, we have ...

λ = (y +2z)/(yz) = 1/z +2/y

λ = (x +2z)/(xz) = 1/z +2/x

Equating these expressions for λ, we find ...

1/z +2/y = 1/z +2/x ⇒ x = y

The third equation then tells us ...

λ = (2x +2y)/(xy) = 2/y +2/x

Comparing this to either of the first two expressions for λ, we see ...

1/z +2y = 2/x +2/y ⇒ z = x/2

This is the result we started the answer with:

x = y = 2z = ∛(2·8788 cm³)

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and tes

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is 30%.

b) Many of the shipments with this rate of defective aspirin tablets will be rejected.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a shipment of 3000 aspirin tablets, with a 5% rate of defects.

We select a sample of size 48 and test for defectives.

If more than one aspirin is defective, the batch is rejected.

The amount of defective aspirin tablets X can be modeled as a binomial distribution random variable, with p=0.55 and n=48

We have to calculate the probabilities that X is equal or less than 1: P(X≤1).

$P(X\leq1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)\\\\\\P(0)=\binom{48}{0}(0.05)^0(0.95)^{48}=1*1*0.0853=0.0853\\\\\\P(1)=\binom{48}{1}(0.05)^1(0.95)^{47}=48*0.05*0.0897=0.2154\\\\\\P(X\eq1)=0.0853+0.2154=0.3007$

PLEASE HELP ASAP

pishuonlain [190]

You have that:

1. By definition, a binomial is a polynomial formed by two terms.
2. A quintic binomial is a binomial of degree 5. This means that its highest exponent is 5.
3. Keeping this on mind, you must identify which binomial has degree 5.
4. As you can see, the expression <span>3x^5+2 is a binomial, because it has two terms and the highest degree is 5.
5. Thefore, the answer is: </span>3x^5+2
