Volume = are base*height
32 = x^2*h --> h = 32/x^2

surface area =  4x(32/x^2) + x^2 
SA = 128/x + x^2

SA' = -128/x^2 + 2x = 0
2x = 128/x^2
2x^3 = 128
x^3 = 64
x = 4

surface area minimized when length of base is 4 in.

hope this help

If the difference of a number and four is doubled the result is 1/4 less than the number. find the number
sukhopar [10]
The formula is  (2)(n-4) = n-1/4

Mult both sides by 4: 

                         8n - 32 = 4n -1, or 4n = 31, or n=31/4.

If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem correctly.  What do you mean by "1/4 less?"

Let's try    (2)(n-4) = 1n-(1/4)n = (3/4)n.  Then,

2n-8 = (3/4)n, or (5/4)n = 8.  Mult. both sides by (4/5), we get:

n = (5/4)(8) = 10.  Is that what you were hoping for?

If 3x+54+(65 × 32)+ 902- (43/12) =y, then what is y?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

We cannot solve without a value for x. The simplified form is 3x+\frac{36,389}{12} =y

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is 3x+54+(65)(32)+902-\frac{43}{12}=y then we cannot solve it until we know the value of x. We can simplify it using order of operations such as PEMDAS.

3x+54+(65)(32)+902-\frac{43}{12}=y \\3x+54+2,080+902-\frac{43}{12}=y \\3x+3,036-\frac{43}{12}=y \\3x+\frac{36,432}{12} -\frac{43}{12} =y\\3x+\frac{36,389}{12} =y

Given the trinomial x^2+bx+c where both the first and second signs are positive, the signs of the factors will be: A. both negat
Lunna [17]
The answer here is C. The sign of the factors are both positive. We can use the FOIL method as reference in determining the sign of the factors. The 3rd term C is positive; therefore our only option is either both negative or both positive. Looking the middle term, which is positive, we know that the middle term is the sum of the outer and inner in FOIL method, which means, signs of the factors must be both positive
