Answer:

The dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm ,  y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cardboard = 16,384 cm^{3}

The function that represents the area of the cardboard without a lid is given by

f (x,y,z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz ------  (1)

Volume of the cardboard with sides x, y & z is

xyz = 16384

z =  \frac{16384}{xy}

Put this value of z in equation (1) we get

f (x,y,z) = xy + 2x(\frac{16384}{xy} ) + 2y(\frac{16384}{xy} )

f (x,y,z) = xy + \frac{32768}{y}  + 2y(\frac{32768}{x} )

Differentiate above equation with respect to x & y we get

f_{x}  = y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} }

f_{y}  = x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} }

Take f_{x}  = 0 \ and  \ f_{y} = 0

y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} } = 0

y = 32768 \ x^{-2}  ------ (2)

x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} } = 0

x = 32768 \ y^{-2}  ------- (3)

By solving equation (2) & (3) we get

x^{3} = 32768

x = 31 cm

From equation 2

y = 32768 \ x^{-2}

y = 32768 (31^{-2})

y = 34 cm

z =  \frac{16384}{xy}

z =  \frac{16384}{(34)(31)}

Z = 15.54 cm

Thus the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm ,  y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

Graph the image of H(-8,5) after a reflection over the x-axis.<br><br> Answer ?
TEA [102]

Answer: plot a point at (-8, -5)

The y coordinate flips from positive to negative, or vice versa, when we reflect over the horizontal x axis. The x coordinate stays the same.

The rule can be written as (x,y) \to (x,-y)

w < 15

Therefore, Jenny can withdraw $20 from her account for 14 weeks
