Answer: half year

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-

I=Prt, , where P is the principal amount , r is the rate of interest and t is the time in year.

Given : I=420 ; r=14%=0.14 and P =$6000

Then, we have the following equation :-

420=6000\times0.14 \times t\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{420}{6000\times0.14}=0.5

It means the duration of the loan is half year .

You have been asked to design a rectangular box with a square base and an open top. The volume of the box must be 500cm3. Determ
babymother [125]

Answer:

x = 10 cm, y = 5 cm gives a minimum area of 300 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

V= x^2y = 500

Surface area A = x^2 + 4xy.

From the first equation y = 500/x^2

So substituting for y in the equation for the surface area:

A = x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2

A = x^2 + 2000/x

Finding the derivative:

dA/dx = 2x - 2000x^-2

dA/dx = 2x - 2000/x^2

This = 0 for a minimum/maximum value of A, so

2x - 2000/x^2  = 0

2x^3 - 2000 = 0

x^3 = 2000/ 2 = 1000

x = 10

Second derivative is  2 + 4000/x^3

when x = 10  this is positive so x = 10 gives a minimum value of A.

So y =  500/x^2

= 500/100

= 5.
