You are constructing a box for your cat to sleep in. The plush material for the square bottom of the box costs $7/ft2 and the ma

terial for the sides costs $3/ft2. You need a box with volume 4 ft3. Find the dimensions (in ft) of the box that minimize cost. Use x to represent the length of the side of the box and h to represent the height. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Answer:

The required dimension is 1.59 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box is V=XxHxW

Where

X = Length

H = height

W = width

Assume the box is cube. So, X=H=W=Y

V=Y3

Substituting the value of volume

4 = Y3

Taking cube root on both sides

(4)^(1/3) = Y^(3/3)

1.59 = Y

So the required dimensions are

X = H = W = 1.59 ft

Answer: height (h) = 1.59ft

length (x) = 1.59ft

width = 1.59ft

Total cost is $25.28 at these dimensions

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a box is given by multiplying its length by its width and height.

If x = length

h = height

it's safe to assume the box is a cube (having a square bottom): length = height = width

Volume = length x width x height = x³

Volume = x³

4 ft² = x³

x = 4^(1/3)

x = 1.587 =1.59ft approximately

Area of square bottom = 1.59 x 1.59 = 2.528ft²

Cost of square bottom = 2.528 x $7 (per ft²) = $17.698

Area of side = 2.528ft²

Cost of side = 2.528 x $3 (per ft²) = $7.584

Total cost = $17.698 + $7.584 = $25.28 to two decimal places.

The answer step by step
vivado [14]

Remember:

-When multiplying numbers with decimals just forget about the decimals for a second and pretend you are multiplying a 3 digit number times a 2 digit number.

-one digit at a time. Multiply going from right to left.

First:

-Multiply the 3 with the top numbers.

-Pretend you are seeing this:

5.72 (3)

- 2*3=6. 7*3=21. (carry the 2). 5*3 +2=17. (leave the 1).

Second:

-write below and move a digit to the left.

-pretend you are seeing this: 5.72(6).

- 2*6 =12. (carry the 1). 7*6 +1=43. (carry the 4) 5*6+4=34. (leave the 3).

Third: since in the problem the decimal is placed in the hundredths only once, place the decimal in the hundredths as your solution.

Your solution should be 360.36

An automobile manufacturer claims that its car has a 33.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contra
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

z=\frac{34-33.7}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{120}}}=2.05  

And the p value would be given by:

p_v= 2*P(z>2.05) = 0.0404

And since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=34 represent the sample mean

\sigma=\sqrt{2.56}= 1.6 represent the population standard deviation

n=120 sample size  

\mu_o =33.7 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.02 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

System of hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is 33.7 mpg or no, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu =33.7  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 33.7  

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{34-33.7}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{120}}}=2.05  

And the p value would be given by:

p_v= 2*P(z>2.05) = 0.0404

And since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Find the two straight lines represented by x² + 5xy - 6y² = 0​
Andreyy89

By factorizing, we have

x^2 + 5xy - 6y^2 = (x - y) (x + 6y) = 0

so that

x - y = 0 \implies \boxed{y = x}

or

x + 6y = 0 \implies \boxed{y = -\dfrac x6}

Simplify (x + 2/ x^2 + 2x -3) / (x + 2/x^2 - x)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The simplest form is x/(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

* To simplify the rational Expression lets revise the factorization

  of the quadratic expression

*  To factor a quadratic in the form x² ± bx ± c:

- First look at the c term  

# If the c term is a positive number, and its factors are r and s they

  will have the same sign and their sum is b.

#  If the c term is a negative number, then either r or s will be negative

   but not both and their difference is b.

- Second look at the b term.  

# If the c term is positive and the b term is positive, then both r and

  s are positive.  

Ex: x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 3)(x + 2)  

# If the c term is positive and the b term is negative, then both r and s

  are negative.  

Ex:  x² - 5x + 6 = (x -3)(x - 2)

# If the c term is negative and the b term is positive, then the factor

  that is positive will have the greater absolute value. That is, if

  |r| > |s|, then r is positive and s is negative.  

Ex: x² + 5x - 6 = (x + 6)(x - 1)

# If the c term is negative and the b term is negative, then the factor

  that is negative will have the greater absolute value. That is, if

  |r| > |s|, then r is negative and s is positive.

Ex: x² - 5x - 6 = (x - 6)(x + 1)

* Now lets solve the problem

- We have two fractions over each other

- Lets simplify the numerator

∵ The numerator is \frac{x+2}{x^{2}+2x-3}

- Factorize its denominator

∵  The denominator = x² + 2x - 3

- The last term is negative then the two brackets have different signs

∵ 3 = 3 × 1

∵ 3 - 1 = 2

∵ The middle term is +ve

∴ -3 = 3 × -1 ⇒ the greatest is +ve

∴ x² + 2x - 3 = (x + 3)(x - 1)

∴ The numerator = \frac{(x+2)}{(x+3)(x-2)}

- Lets simplify the denominator

∵ The denominator is \frac{x+2}{x^{2}-x}

- Factorize its denominator

∵  The denominator = x² - 2x

- Take x as a common factor and divide each term by x

∵ x² ÷ x = x

∵ -x ÷ x = -1

∴ x² - 2x = x(x - 1)

∴ The denominator = \frac{(x+2)}{x(x-1)}

* Now lets write the fraction as a division

∴ The fraction = \frac{x+2}{(x+3)(x-1)} ÷ \frac{x+2}{x(x-1)}

- Change the sign of division and reverse the fraction after it

∴ The fraction = \frac{(x+2)}{(x+3)(x-1)}*\frac{x(x-1)}{(x+2)}

* Now we can cancel the bracket (x + 2) up with same bracket down

 and cancel bracket (x - 1) up with same bracket down

∴ The simplest form = \frac{x}{x+3}
