Answer:

the dimensions of the most economical shed are height = 10 ft and side 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

volume = 250 cubic feet

base costs = $4 per square​ foot

material for the roof costs =  ​$6 per square​ foot

material for the sides costs = ​$2.50 per square foot

to find out

the dimensions of the most economical shed

solution

let us consider length of side x and height is h

so we can say x²h = 250

and h = 250 / x²

now cost of material  = cost of base + cost top + cost 4 side

cost  = x²(4) + x²(6)  + 4xh (2.5)

cost = 10  x² + 10xh

put here h = 250 / x²

cost = 10  x² + 10x (250/ x² )

cost = 10  x² +  (2500/ x )

differentiate and  we get

c' = 20 x - 2500 / x²

put c' = 0 solve x

20 x - 2500 / x²  = 0

x = 5

so we say one side is 5 ft  base

and height is  h = 250 / x²

h = 250 / 5²

height = 10 ft

Where would (0.5,2) be potted ? Please answer this !!
NISA [10]

 (0.5,2)

0.5 is x value

2 is y value

         l

         l

---------------

        l

        l

x value is on dashed line (0.5)

y value is on more separated line going up and down. (2)

To plot 0.5, you can put it as an equation. 0.5= 1/2. So to plot it, 0.5 is half of 1. So plot it as in between the 1 and 0.

To plot 2 go up to the two on the y axis and then go over 0.5 and plot a point.

That is you're plotted point for (0.5,2)


Hope it helps!

The equation looks like this:

26=x*3.5+8.50

where x is the number of pen you bought.

We solve it like this:
first, we subtract 8.50 from both sides:

17.50 =3.5*x

now we divide both sides by 3.5:
5=x

so you purchased 5 pens.
