Answer:

l \approx 3.3\,ft, x = 3.2\,ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations of volume and surface area are presented below:

34.5 = l^{2}\cdot x

A_{s} = 2\cdot l^{2} + 4\cdot l \cdot x

The length of the tank is:

x = \frac{34.5}{l^{2}}

The expression fo the surface area is therefore simplified into an univariable form:

A_{s} = 2\cdot l^{2} + 4\cdot \left(\frac{34.5}{l} \right)

A_{s} = 2\cdot l^{2} + \frac{138}{l}

The first and second derivatives of the expression are, respectively:

A_{s}' = 4\cdot l -\frac{138}{l^{2}}

A_{s}'' = 4 +\frac{276}{l^{3}}

The first derivative is equalized to zero and length of the square side is now found:

4\cdot l -\frac{138}{l^{2}} = 0

4\cdot l^{3}-138 = 0

l^{3} = \frac{138}{4}

l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{138}{4} }

l \approx 3.3\,ft

Now, the second derivative offers a criteria to determine if solution leads to an absolute minimum:

A_{s}'' = 4 + \frac{276}{(3.3\,ft)^{3}}

A_{s}'' =  11.7 (Absolute minimum)

The depth of the tank is:

x = \frac{34.5\,ft^{3}}{(3.3\,ft)^{2}}

x = 3.2\,ft

Which had the greater absolute value <br> 19 or -28
nignag [31]

Answer:

-28 has the greater absolute value.

Step-by-step explanation:

19's absolute value is 19

|19|=19

but -28's absolute value is 28

|-28|=28

and 28 is greater than 19

19<28

hope u understood and it helps

Solve the system of equations algebraically. Show all of your steps
Katyanochek1 [597]
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.

We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:

3x+20=x^2+2x

Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you

x+20=x^2

Now, we take the square root of both sides to get

rad(x+20)=x

Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes

2rad(x+5)

This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
