<u>Answer:</u>
The amount lost over the 3 years s 2567.25£
<u>Explanation:</u>
where F = final value after n years
I = initial value of the car in 2017 = £18000 (given)
Since the value is depreciated 5% every year for 3 years,
r = percentage rate of depreciation = 5% (given)
n = 3 years
Substituting these values in formula, we get
=
= 15432.75£ which is the value of the car after 3 years
Finally 18000-15432.75 = 2567.25£ is the amount lost over this period.
Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.
Volume of the box is
.
So
Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.
![4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} } \\ 4x^{3} = 460 \\ x^{3} = 115 \\ x = \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%204x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B460%7D%7B%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%204x%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%20460%20%20%5C%5C%20x%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%20115%20%20%5C%5C%20x%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B115%7D%20%3D%204.86%20)
Then
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.
x = side length of the base.
