Answer:

$163.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular container = 10m^3

Length = 2(width)

Material for the base cost $10 per square meter

Material for the side cost $6 per square meter

Volume = L*B*H

L= 2W

V = (2W).W. H

10 = 2W^2.H

H = 10 /2W^2

H = 5/W^2

Let C(w) = cost function

C(w) = 10(L.W) + 6(2.L.H + 2.W.H)

= 10(2W.W) + 6(2.2W.H + 2.W.H)

= 10(2W^2) + 6(4W.H + 2.W.H)

= 10(2W^2) + 6(4W*5/W^2 + 2.W*5/W^2)

= 20W^2 + 6(20/W + 10/W)

= 20W^2 + 6((10+20)/W)

= 20W^2 + 6(30/W)

C(w) = 20W^2 + 180/W

To find the minimum value, differentiate C with respect to w

C'(w) = 40W - 180/W^2

Put C'(w) = 0

0 = 40W - 180/W^2

40W = 180/W^2

40W^3 = 180

W^3 = 180/40

W^3 = 4.5

W = cube rt(4.5)

W = 1.65m

C = 20(1.65)^2 + 180/1.65

C = 54.45 + 109.09

C= $163.54

Minimum cost = $163.54

Gala2k [10]

Answer: 500 chicken feed and 200 careful calculators

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=1,600

40x+50y=30,000

those are your first two equations

your first matrix equation for A is 2, 3,40,50 and B is 1,600 and 30,000 when you enter those in your calculator and 500 and 200 should be your result.

Can someone please help me with this one? I’m very confused, how can you solve for the width if the problem doesn’t tell you wha
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

A. (2x-3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Performing the long division indicated by the perimeter expression, you find ...

perimeter = (2x -3) + (10x +6)/(x^2 +2x)

Comparing this to the formula for the perimeter ...

perimeter = 2W +2L

where L is said to be of the form (ax +b)/(x^2 +2x)

we can match terms in the perimeter expression to see that ...

2W = 2x -3

2L = (10x +6)/(x^2 +2x)

The problem doesn't ask for it, but we can see that (a, b) = (5, 3). We can also see that ...

W = (2x -3)/2 . . . . . . . matches choice A

If the smaller of two numbers is one-half of the larger number and the sum of the two numbers is 81 , find the numbers.
zavuch27 [327]
Let smaller number be x/2 and the larger number x.

x/2 + x = 81
x/2 + x = 3x/2
3x/2 = 81
3x = 162
x= 54

The smaller number is 54/2= 27 and the larger number is 54.

Type only a number for your answer​
UNO [17]

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 30 = 110 (opposite sides are congruent/equal)

x = 110 - 30 (subtract the 30 from both sides to get X by itself)

x = 80 (simplify)
