The distance between an arbitrary point on the surface and the origin is

d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}

Recall that for differentiable functions g(x) and h(x), the composition g(h(x)) attains extrema at the same points that h(x) does, so we can consider an augmented distance function

D(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2

The Lagrangian would then be

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+z^2+\lambda(y^2-64-xz)

We have partial derivatives

\begin{cases}L_x=2x-\lambda z\\L_y=2y+2y\lambda\\L_z=2z-\lambda x\\L_\lambda=y^2-64-xz\end{cases}

Set each partial derivative to 0 and solve the system to find the critical points.

From the second equation it follows that either y=0 or \lambda=-1. In the first case we arrive at a contradiction (I'll leave establishing that to you). If \lambda=-1, then we have

\begin{cases}2x+z=0\\2z+x=0\end{cases}\implies x=0,z=0

This means y^2=64\implies y=\pm8

so that the points on the surface closest to the origin are (0,\pm8,0).

Answer:

x = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∠SRT ≅ ∠STR

Then ∠STR = 20

∠STR  and ∠STU are what you call supplementary angles. This means that the sum of their measurements is equal to 180° because they form a straight line.

So if:

∠STR + ∠STU = 180°

m∠STU = 4x

m∠STR = 20

Then:

4x + 20° = 180°

Now we solve for x:

4x + 20 = 180\\\\Subtract\;20\;from\;both\;sides\;of\;the\;equation\\\\4x + 20 - 20 = 180 - 20\\4x = 160\\\\Divide\;both\;sides\;of\;the\;equation\;by\;4\\\\\dfrac{4x}{4}=\dfrac{160}{4}\\\\x = 40

x = 40°

Option C: 5 x(4 x+7)(3 x+2) is the possible expressions for length, width and height of the prism.

Explanation:

The volume of the rectangular prism is 60 x^{3}+145 x^{2}+70 x

To determine the length, width and height of the rectangular prism, let us factor the expression.

Thus, factoring 5x from the expression, we have,

5 x\left(12 x^{2}+29 x+14\right)

Let us break the expression 12 x^{2}+29 x+14 into two groups, we get,

5x[\left(12 x^{2}+8 x\right)+(21 x+14)]

Factoring 4x from the term 12 x^{2}+8 x , we get,

5x[4 x(3 x+2)+(21x+14)]

Similarly, factoring 7x from the term 21 x+14 , we get,

5x[4 x(3 x+2)+7(3x+2)]

Now, let us factor out 3x+2, we get,

5 x(4 x+7)(3 x+2)

Hence, the possible expressions for length, width and height of the prism is 5 x(4 x+7)(3 x+2)

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
