Answer:

<u><em>Dimension of box:-</em></u>

Side of square base = 10 in

Height of box = 5 in

Minimum Surface area, S = 300 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

An open box with a square base is to have a volume of 500 cubic inches.

Let side of the base be x and height of the box is y

Volume of box = area of base × height

                 500=x^2y

Therefore, y=\dfrac{500}{x^2}

It is open box. The surface area of box, S .

S=x^2+4xy

Put  y=\dfrac{500}{x^2}

S(x)=x^2+\dfrac{2000}{x}

This would be rational function of surface area.

For maximum/minimum to differentiate S(x)

S'(x)=2x-\dfrac{2000}{x^2}

For critical point, S'(x)=0

2x-\dfrac{2000}{x^2}=0

x^3=1000

x=10

Put x = 10 into y=\dfrac{500}{x^2}

y = 5

Double derivative of S(x)

S''(x)=2+\dfrac{4000}{x^3} at x = 10

S''(10) > 0

Therefore, Surface is minimum at x = 10 inches

Minimum Surface area, S = 300 in²

Answer:

Incorrect/No

Step-by-step explanation:

7x2=14

-7x2=-14

<u>Follow the below guidelines:</u>

  • A positive number times a positive number is a positive number
  • A negative number times a positive number is a negative number
  • A positive number times a negative number is a negative number
  • A negative number times a negative number is a positive number

Looking at the last one, we see that -2x-7=14, a positive number

Hope this helps!

Convert these unlike fractions to equivalent like fractions and add them. You must use the LCD to get the answer correct. If pos
Gnoma [55]

The converted fractions are 3/12 and 5/12 and the sum is 2/3

<h3>How to convert the fractions?</h3>

From the question, the fractions are given as

1/4 and 5/12

The denominators of these fractions are

4 and 12

So. we start by calculating the LCD of the denominators

So, we have

4 = 2* 2

12 = 2 * 2 * 3

This gives

LCD = 2 * 2 * 3

Evaluate

LCD = 12

This means that the common denominator must be 12

So, we have

1/4 and 5/12

Multiply 1/4 by 3/3

This gives

3/12 and 5/12

When the fractions are added, we have

3/12 + 5/12 = (3 + 5)/12

Evaluate

3/12 + 5/12 = 8/12

Reduce fraction

3/12 + 5/12 = 2/3

Hence, the sum of the fractions is 2/3
