katrin2010 [14]

A function rule could simply be: c = 420h , where c is the total number of calories burned and h is the number of hours riding at 15 mi/hr.

All you need to do is plug in the number of hours that he rode at this rate and multiply it by 420.

A container in the shape of a square-based prism has a volume of 2744 cm'. What dimensions give the

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The dimensions that give the minimum surface area are:

Length = 14cm

width = 14cm

height = 14cm

And the minimum surface is:

S = 1,176 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular rectangular prism has the measures: length L, width W and height H.

The volume of this prism is:

V = L*W*H

The surface of this prism is:

S = 2*(L*W + H*L + H*W)

If the base of the prism is a square, then we have L = W

Then the equations become:

V = L*L*H = L^2*H

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*H*L)

We know that the volume of the figure is 2744 cm^3

Then:

V = 2744 cm^3 = H*(L^2)

In this equation, we can isolate H.

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2)

Now we can replace this on the surface equation:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L* (2744 cm^3)/(L^2))

S = 2*L^2 + 4(2744 cm^3)/L

Now we want to minimize the surface area, then we need to find the zeros of the first derivative of S.

S' = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

This is equal to zero when:

0 = 2*(2*L) - 4*(2744 cm^3)/L^2

0 = 4*L*L^2 - 4*(2744 cm^3)

4*(2744 cm^3) = 4*L^3

2744 cm^3 = L^3

∛(2744 cm^3) = L = 14cm

Then the length of the base that minimizes the surface is L = 14.

Then we have:

H = (2744 cm^3)/(L^2) = (2744 cm^3)/(14cm)^2 = 14cm

Then the surface is:

S = 2*(L^2 + 2*L*H) = 2*( (14cm)^2 + 2*(14cm)*(14cm)) = 1,176 cm^2

Alexxx [7]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below,

Murphy loves pistachio nuts. Every Saturday morning, she walks to the market and buys some. Last week, she bought two pounds and paid $7.96, and this week she bought only one-half pound and paid $1.99. What the unit rate for pistachio nuts?

Answer:

The unit rate for pistachio nuts is $3.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Price of 2 pounds of pistachio nuts = $7.96

We need to find the price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts.

To find the same we will use the unitary method,

Hence ,

Price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts = $\frac{\$7.96}{2} = \$3.98$

Also given:

Price of half pound of pistachio nuts = $1.99

We need to find the price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts.

To find the same we will use the unitary method,

Hence ,

Price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts = $\$1.99\times 2 = \$3.98$

Hence, The unit rate for pistachio nuts is $3.98
