A rectangular box with a square base is open at the top and has a volume of 12 cubic feet. Each side of the base has a length of

x feet. Which of the following expresses the surface area, S, in square feet, of the outside of the box in terms of x?
a) S=5x^{2}
b) S= \frac{12}{ x^{2} }
c) S= x^{2} + \frac{24}{x}
d) S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{x}
e)S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{ x^{2} }

We know that the side lengths of the square base are: x * x. The volume is 12, so for now, let's say that y is the other side length. Then, x * x * y = 12. We can solve for y: y = 12/x^2. Now, we find the surface area of the 5 sides.

Four of the sides have the same area: x * (12/x^2) = 12/x, so we multiply this by 4: 48/x.

The last side is the base: x * x = x^2.

We add 48/x to x^2:

x^2 + 48/x

So, the answer is the fourth choice, (d).

A taxi charges $7.50 plus $0.45 per mile.
poizon [28]
$7.50(2)=$15.00 (She takes the taxi twice, and its $7.50 each time she takes it)
$0.45(16)+$0.45(8)=$10.80 (Each mile is $0.45, she goes 16 miles on the way to work, and only 8 miles on the way home. Since she walks half way and  takes the taxi the other half. Half of 16 is 8)
$15.00+$10.80=$25.80
Alexis pays $25.00 per day for her taxi rides.
