What you wanna do here is use a calculator, as "e" in mathematics refers to the "e" on a calculator. The tricky part about this question is that the answer for the equation is the given percentage, NOT the value for "x". From there, plug in the multiple choice answers for "x" and see which one works!
In this case, A is the correct answer. B is absurdly large, so I omitted it immediately in the attached picture.
Answer:
A 4/5 × 10 1/2 =8.4
B 2 1/2 × 16/5 =8
C 3 2/3 × 2 1/2 = 330/36 = 9.1666
D 20/3 × 9/10 =6
C IS THE GREATEST because 9.166 is greater than 8.4, 8 and 6
Answer:
2.29 ft of side length and 1.14 height
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Volume V = x2h, where x is side of square base and h is hite.
Then surface area S = x2 + 4xh because box is open.
b) From V = x2h = 6 we have h = 6/x2.
Substitude in formula for surface area: S = x2 + 4x·6/x2, S = x2 + 24/x.
We get S as function of one variable x. To get minimum we have to find derivative S' = 2x - 24/x2 = 0, from here 2x3 - 24 = 0, x3 = 12, x = (12)1/3 ≅ 2.29 ft.
Then h = 6/(12)2/3 = (12)1/3/2 ≅ 1.14 ft.
To prove that we have minimum let get second derivative: S'' = 2 + 48/x3, S''(121/3) = 2 + 48/12 = 6 > 0.
And because by second derivative test we have minimum: Smin = (12)2/3 + 4(12)1/3(12)1/3/2 = 3(12)2/3 ≅ 15.72 ft2
