Answer:
u need decimals for all of them or u at least use them a lot
Step-by-step explanation:
Its linear , if side is x then perimeter is 4x
I hope this helps, if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask
6 - 2 2/7 =

42/7 - 16/7 =
26/7 or 3 5/7
You must develop a cost function C(x) and then minimize its value.
How much dwill the glass cost? It's $1 per sq ft, and the total area of the glass is 4(xh), where x is the length of one side of the base and h is the height of the tank. The area of the metal bottom is x^2, which we must multiply by $1.50 per sq ft.
This cost function will look like this: C(x) = 4($1/ft^2)xh + ($1.50/ft^2)x^2
but we know that (x^2)h= 6 cu ft, or h = (6 cu ft) / (x^2). Subst. this last result into the C(x) equation, immediately above:
C(x) = 4($1/ft^2)x[6 ft^3 / x^2] + ($1.50/ft^2)x^2
Let's focus on the numerical values and ditch the units of measurement for now:
C(x) = 4x(4/x^2) + 1.50x^2, or
C(x) = 16/x + 1.5x^2
Differentiate this with respect to x:
C '(x) = -16 / x^2 + 3 x
Set this equal to 0 and solve for x: -16/x^2 = -3x, or 16 = 3x^3
Then x^3 = 16/3, and x = 5 1/3 ft. We already have the formula
(x^2)h= 6 cu ft, so if x = 5 1/3, or 16/3, then (16/3)^2 h = 6, or
h = 6 / [16/3]^2.
h = 6 (9/256) = 0.21 ft. While possible, this h = 0.21 ft seems quite unlikely.
Please work through this problem yourself, making sure you understand each step. If questions arise, or if you find an error in my approach, please let me know.
Once again:
1. Write a formula for the total cost of the material used: 4 sides of dimensions xh each, plus 1 bottom, of dimensions x^2. Include the unit prices: $1 per square foot for the sides and $1.50 per square foot for the bottom.
2. Differentiate C(x) with respect to x.
3. Set C '(x) = 0 and solve for the critical value(s).
4. Calculate h from your value for x.
5. Write the dimensions of the tank: bottom: x^2; height: h
The sales price is 85% of the original $2,200, which can be calculated as follows: .85(2,200) = 1870 Assuming you meant 15% discount price..
Now we need to find a 7% sales tax, which can be calculated as follows:
.07(1870) = 130.90
Now we add the sale price and the sales tax: 1870 + 130,90 = $2000.90 for the total cost.
