An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the ref

inery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 3 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $400,000 per km over land to a point P on the north bank and $800,000 per km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far from the refinery should P be located? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's d be the distance in km from the oil refinery to point P. So the horizontal distance from P to the storage is 3 - d and the vertical distance is 2. Hence the diagonal distance is:

\sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 4}

So the cost of laying pipe under water with this distance is

800000\sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 4}

And the cost of laying pipe over land from the refinery to point P is 400000d. Hence the total cost:

800000\sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 4} + 400000d

We can find the minimum value of this by taking the 1st derivative and set it to 0

800000\frac{2*0.5*(3-d)(-1)}{\sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 4}} + 400000 = 0

We can move the first term over to the right hand side and divide both sides by 400000

1 = 2\frac{3 - d}{\sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 4}}

\sqrt{(3 - d)^2 + 4} = 6 - 2d

From here we can square up both sides

(3 - d)^2 + 4 = (6 - 2d)^2

9 - 6d + d^2 + 4 = 36 - 24d + 4d^2

3d^2-18d+27 = 0

d^2 - 6d + 9 = 0

(d - 3)^2 = 0

d -3 = 0

d = 3

So the cost of pipeline is minimum when P is exactly 3km east from the oil refinery.

George traveled 300 miles in 8 hours. How far could he travel in 4 hours if he traveled at the same rate?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Divide 300 by 8 to find the unit rate
300/8= 37.5

He travels 37.5 miles per hour

If he travels 37.5 miles per hour, to find the amount in 4 hours we would do 37.5 times 4


37.5×4=150


In 4 hours he travels 150 miles

How do you find the sum of cube ?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(2x+5)(4x^{2} -10x+25)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given equation is.

8x^{3} +125=0

Find the some of cube.

Solution:

8x^{3} +125=0

2^{3}x^{3} +5^{3}=0

(2x)^{3} +5^{3}=0----------(1)

The sum of the cube formula is given below.

(a^{3} +b^{3})=(a+b)(a^{2} -ab+b^{2} )-----------(2)

By comparing equation 1 and equation 2

a=2x, b=5

substitute a and b value in equation 2

((2x)^{3} +5^{3})=(2x+5)((2x)^{2} -(2x)(5)+5^{2})

((2x)^{3} +5^{3})=(2x+5)(4x^{2} -(10x)+25)

((2x)^{3} +5^{3})=(2x+5)(4x^{2} -10x+25)

Therefore the sum of the cube (2x+5)(4x^{2} -10x+25)=0

Answer:

<h2><u>440 ft.²</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the object = 2 (lw + wh + hl) = 2 (10× 6 + 6 × 10 + 10 × 10)

                                           = 2 ( 60 + 60 + 100) = 2 × 220 = 440 ft.²

Given circle P, which of the following options are major arcs?
MakcuM [25]

If your asking to select all that apply,

The formula is arc length = θ ( r ) {\displaystyle {\text{arc length}}=\theta (r)} , where equals the measurement of the arc's central angle in radians, and r {\displaystyle r} equals the length of the circle's radius. Plug the length of the circle's radius into the formula.
