Answer:

108 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing by 50% means multiplying the original quantities by 1.5, that is

100% + 50% = 150% = 1.5 ( 100% is the original dimensions ), thus

new length = 1.5 × 8 ft = 12 ft

new width = 1.5 × 6 ft = 9 ft

Thus

Area = length × width = 12 × 9 = 108 ft²

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 8,788 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

  x = y = 26 cm; z = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic solution for the minimum material in an open-top box is that the box is square and half as high as it is wide. It is half a cube of twice the volume.

The dimensions of the square base are ...

  ∛(2·8788 cm³) = 26 cm

Then the height is half that, or 13 cm.

  x = y = 26 cm; z = 13 cm

_____

If you need to see the development, you can use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the minimum area for the given volume;

  area = xy +2(xz +yz)

  volume = xyz = 8788

We require each of the partial derivatives of L with respect to x, y, z, and λ to be zero.

  L = xy +2(xz +yz) +λ(xyz -8788)

  partial with respect to x: 0 = y+2z +λyz

  partial with respect to y: 0 = x +2z +λxz

  partial with respect to z: 0 = 2x+2y +λxy

  partial with respect to λ: 0 = xyz -8788

From the first two equations, we have ...

  λ = (y +2z)/(yz) = 1/z +2/y

  λ = (x +2z)/(xz) = 1/z +2/x

Equating these expressions for λ, we find ...

  1/z +2/y = 1/z +2/x   ⇒   x = y

The third equation then tells us ...

  λ = (2x +2y)/(xy) = 2/y +2/x

Comparing this to either of the first two expressions for λ, we see ...

  1/z +2y = 2/x +2/y   ⇒   z = x/2

This is the result we started the answer with:

  x = y = 2z = ∛(2·8788 cm³)

jim drove 168 miles in 4 hours. if he keep the same pace, how long will if take him to drive 504 miles
pentagon [3]
You would first put 168 over 4 and simplify to get 42 over 1. Then you would divide 504 by 42 to get 12. You would have to drive 12 hours to get 504 miles.

Plug in 6.5 for x.
-8.5x-3.5x=-78
-8.5(6.5)-3.5(6.5)=-78
-55.25-22.75=-78
-78=-78

Help please n ty :P<br> sdhgfahedgewkgfzndb
Ugo [173]

Answer:

y=-3.2\\\\y=-2.2\\\\y=-1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert the given x values for the given equation to find the corresponding y coordinate:

y=0.2x-2

x:-6,-1,1

Insert -6:

y=0.2(-6)-2

Simplify multiplication (when multiplying a negative and a positive, the result will always be negative):

y=-1.2-2

Simplify (when subtracting from a negative number, add the values, but keep the negative symbol):

y=-3.2

Insert -1:

y=0.2(-1)-2\\\\y=-0.2-2\\\\y=-2.2

Insert 1:

y=0.2(1)-2\\\\y=0.2-2\\\\y=-1.8

:Done
