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.

Answer:£24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money be represented by Y

Total ratio =1+2=3

Krutika's share =1/3 × Y

8= 1/3×Y

Y=8÷(1/3)

Y= 8×3

Y=£24

The total Money they won was 24

The rectangle shown is translated 6 units to the left. Which ordered pair is NOT a vertex of the image? (A 2, -2) (B -10, 5) (C
S_A_V [24]
Use the figure above as a reference. Identify the vertices of the rectangle before translation, the vertices are (-4,5), (1, 5), (-4,-2), and (1, -2). After translation of 6 units to the left, only the x-coordinates of the vertices are affected. Since the translation is to the left, subtract 6 from the x values of the vertices. Therefore, the vertices after translation are: (-10, 5), (-5, 5); (-10, -2) and (-5, -2). 

The ordered pair not in the new set of vertices is (2, -2).
