Answer:

6 in x 6 in x 3 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = xyz = 108   ⇒   z = 108/(xy)

The amount of the material used is

S = xy + 2yz + 2xz

Put value of z from the volume

S = xy + 2y*108/(xy) + 2x*108/(xy) = xy + 216/x + 216/y

Now, we find the relative minimum of the function S(x,y)

First, we find the critical point. Set Sx = 0  and  Sy = 0

and solve this system:

Sx(x,y) = y - (216/x²) = 0

Sy(x,y) = x - (216/y²) = 0

From the first equation we have

y = 216/x²

Put it in the second equation and find x

x - (216/(216/x²)²) = 0

⇒  x*(1 - (x³/216)) = 0

⇒  x₁ = 0   and  x₂ = 6

Now, we can find y as follows

y₁ = 216/(0)²   which is undefined

y₂ = 216/(6)² = 6

Hence, the only critical point of S is (6, 6). Next, we calculate the second ordered derivatives that we need for the second derivative test:

Sxx(x,y) = 432/x³

Sxy(x,y) = 1

Syy(x,y) = 432/y³

Applying the second derivative test

D(6, 6) = Sxx(6, 6)*Syy(6, 6) - S²xy(6, 6) = 2*2 - 1² = 4 -1 = 3 > 0

Sxx(6, 6) = 2 > 0

Since D(6, 6) > 0   and   Sxx(6, 6) > 0   we can conclude that S has a relative minimum at (6, 6).

z coordinate is:

z = 108/(xy) = 108 / (6*6) = 3

Finally, the dimentions of a box are 6 in x 6 in x 3 in.

How many gallons of a 30% salt solution must be added to 40 gallons of a 12% salt solution to obtain a 20% solution?
Sati [7]
Let’s call the number of gallons of 30% solution “x”. If we mix together 40 gallons and x gallons of solution, we’re going to come out with a total of 40 + x gallons of that 20% solution. Mathematically, this is

40(12%) + x(30%) = (40 + x)(20%)

With the percents as decimals:

40(0.12) + x(0.3) = (40 + x)(0.2)

Simplifying, we have:

4.8 + 0.3x = 8 + 0.2x

Collecting the x terms on one side and the constants on the other:

0.1x = 3.2

And multiplying both sides by 10 to find x:

x = 32

So, you’ll need 32 gallons of 30% solution to yield 40 + 32 = 72 gallons of 20% solution.

a young hockey player on frictionless ice shoots a 1 kg hockey puck 150 m/s toward the goal. of the hockey player slides backwar
Dafna11 [192]
By conservation of linear amount of movement we have:
 m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f
 Where,
 v1i = v2i = 0 (assuming initial rest)
 m1v1f + m2v2f = 0
 Substituting the values:
 m1 (-3) + (1) (150) = 0
 Clearing m1:
 m1 = (- (1) * (150)) / (- 3)
 m1 = 50 Kg
 answer:
 his mass is 50 Kg
