A storage shed is to be built in the shape of a (closed) box with a square base. It is to have a volume of 150 cubic feet. The c

oncrete for the base costs $4 per square foot, the material for the roof costs $2 per square foot, and the material for the sides costs $2.50 per square foot. Express the cost of the material as a function of the (length of the) side of the base.

Answer:

C(s) = 6s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s}\\\text{where s is the side of base.}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A storage shed is to be built in the shape of a (closed) box with a square base.

Volume = 150 cubic feet

Let s be the edge of square base and h be the height.

Volume of cuboid =

l\times b\times h

where l is the length, b is the base and h is the height.

Volume of box =

s^2h = 150\\\\h = \dfrac{150}{s^2}

Area of base =

\text{side}\times \text{side} = s^2

Cost of concrete for the base = $4

Cost of base($) = 4s^2

Area of roof =

\text{side}\times \text{side} = s^2

Cost of material for the roof = $2

Cost of roof ($) = 2s^2

Area of 4 walls =

4\times (sh)\\=4sh

Cost of material for the side = $2.50

Cost of material of side($) =

2.50\times 4s(\dfrac{150}{s^2})\\\\=\dfrac{1500}{s}

Total cost

= Cost of base + Cost of 4 sides + Cost of roof

C(s) = 4s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s} + 2s^2\\\\C(s) = 6s^2 + \dfrac{1500}{s}

is the required cost function.

A boat traveled 54 km with the stream and 42 km against the stream spending a total of as much time as it would spend while trav
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

  • 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The speed of the boat  in the lake = x
  • The speed of the current = 3 km/h

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
  • 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
  • 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
  • 6x = 144
  • x = 144/6
  • x = 24 km/h

A researcher surveyed 150 high school students and found that 68% played a musical insturment. What would be a reasonable range
maria [59]

Answer:

The reasonable range for the population mean is (61%, 75%).

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval estimate of a population parameter is an interval of values that consist of the values within which the true value of the parameter lies with a certain probability.

The mean of the sampling distribution of sample proportion is, \hat p.

One of the best interval estimate of population proportion is the 95% confidence interval for proportion,

CI=\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

Given:

n = 150

\hat p = 0.68

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Compute the 95% confidence interval for proportion as follows:

CI=\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

     =0.68\pm1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.68(1-0.68)}{150}}\\\\=0.68\pm 0.0747\\\\=(0.6053, 0.7547)\\\\\approx (0.61, 0.75)

Thus, the reasonable range for the population mean is (61%, 75%).

4. What affects the size of an angle? A. Its location B. The amount of rotation of one side C. The length of its sides D. The nu
earnstyle [38]
The correct answer is
<span>D. The number of degrees in its supplement

The size of the sides and the rotation is irrelevant and would still keep the angle having the same size. The number of degrees in the supplement decides how big an angle is because the larger the supplementary angle the smaller the angle we're observing will be, and vice versa.</span>
