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

Which of the following equations represents a line parallel to the line given by y=5x +9?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

y = 5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines that are parallel to each other on a graph would have the same slope but different y-intercepts. When option A's equation is graphed along with the line given in the question, the lines appear to be parallel.  

Option A should be the correct answer.

Solve the following equation by first writing the equation in the form ax² = c
alexandr1967 [171]

The solution to the given equation is x = ±7. The correct option is d. x = ±7

<h3>Solving quadratic equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the solution to the given equation

The given equation is

x²-49 = 0

NOTE: I assumed the variable is x

Solving the equation

x²-49 = 0

Writing in the form ax²= c

x² = 49

∴ x = ±√49

x = ±7

Hence, the solution to the given equation is x = ±7

What is the variable of p and k explain please
scoundrel [369]
For the P=-4
what you do is subtracting 6 to the 38 you will have -8p=32 then you will divide-8 to both sides and your answer will be p=-4
check 6-8(-4)=38
6+32=38
38=38


i got K=5.6
what you do is add 13 to the 15 and you will have 28=5k then you will divide 5 to both sides and you will have k=5.6
check 15=5(5.6)-13
15=28-13
15=15

The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This week he bought 10 liters at
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: the old price for 1 liter is $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the old price for 1 liter of petrol.

Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 20 liters is 20x.

The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. This means that the new price per liter is x + 2/100 = x + 0.02

This week he bought 10 liters at the new price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 10 liters is

10(x + 0.02)

= 10x + 0.2

Altogether, the petrol costs $9.20. This means that

20x + 10x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x = 9.2 - 0.2

30x = 9

x = 9/30

x = 0.3
