An aquarium is to be built to hold 60 m3of volume. The base is to be made of slate and the sides aremade of glass, and it has no

top. If stone costs $120/m2and glass costs $30/m2, find the dimensions which willminimize the cost of building the aquarium, and find the minimum cost.

Answer:

Aquarium dimensions:

x = 3,106 m

h = 6,22 m

C(min) = 1277,62 $

Step-by-step explanation: (INCOMPLETE QUESTION)

We have to assume:

The shape of the aquarium  (square base)

Let´s call "x" the side of the base, then h ( the heigh)

V(a) = x²*h          h = V(a)/x²      

Cost of Aquarium   C(a) = cost of the base (in stones) + 4* cost of one side (in glass)

C(a) = Area of the base *120 + 4*Area of one side*30

Area of the base is x²

Area of one side  is   x*h   or  x*V(a)/x²  

Area of one side is V(a)/x

C(x) = 120*x² + 4*30*60/x

C(x) = 120*x² +  7200/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get

C´(x) = 2*120*x  - 7200/x²

C´(x) = 0 means    240 *x  - 7200/x² = 0

240*x³ - 7200 = 0

x³ = 7200/240

x = 3,106 m   and  h = 60 /x²     h =   6,22 m

and C (min) = 120*(3,106)³ - 7200 / 3,106

C(min) =  3595,72 - 2318,1

C(min) = 1277,62

Use the properties of logarithms to write the following expression as one logarithm.
raketka [301]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! the log properties say that when logs are multiplied as log(xy), they can be expanded and added like log(x)+log(y). when logs are divided like log(x/y), they can be expanded as log(x)-log(y). when the log has an exponent like log(x^y), the exponent can be added to the front of the log like ylog(x). we can use these properties for this problem.

ln(x^3)+ln(y^2)-ln((x+1)^4)

ln(x^3*y^2)-ln((x+1)^4)

ln(\frac{(x^3y^2)}{((x+1)^4)})

4.3j = 51.6 how do u solve this by equation style
bixtya [17]

This is a one step equation. All you have to do is divide 51.6 by 4.3 (51.6÷4.3).

Of course, when you are dividing you must move your decimal but put it in its original spot after it is solved. The answer is j= 1.2.
