The base of an aquarium with given volume V is made of slate and the sides are made of glass. If the slate costs three times as

much (per unit area) as glass, use Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the aquarium that minimize the cost of the materials.

Answer:

See details on explanation below...

Explanation:

By having  a value for volume (v) the solution is as followed:

Let's develop expression for the cost of materials based on one of the dimensions.

Let w= width of the base;

d= depth of the base; and

h= height of the aquarium

C= cost

C= cost of base + cost of walls

=(5)(w×d)+(1)(2(w+d)×h)

Minimum will be performed when the width and the depth are the same.

So we are only need the case (substituting w for d)

C=5w^2+4wh

Volume in this case is expressed as

v=w^2h

So if we re-write our Cost equation as

C=5w^2+4w^2h/w

So we obtain

C=5w^2+4vw^−1

By finding the minimum cost, we take the derivative of this and set the result to zero.

dC/dw=10w−4vw^−2

So this equation is solved for w and via substitution for d and h.  Once a value has been established for the volume (v)

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A company estimates its sales at 200,000 units in the first quarter and that sales will increase by 20,000 units each quarter over the year.

They have, and desire, a 25% ending inventory of finished goods.

Production required for the third quarter:

Sales= 200,000 + 40,000= 240,000

Ending inventory desired= 260,000*0.25= 65,000

Beginning inventory= (240,000*0.25)= (60,000)

Total= 245,000

Answer:

C. Bill of Materials

Explanation:

The engineers make the list and then it is checked against the raw materials record to know how much existences are for each of the raw materials requested.

This is done to create some control, as the person that make the bill aren't the person who check the inventory therefore, they cannot overstate or understate the materials as they will be checked for the amount used.
