A rectangular storage container with a lid is to have a volume of 2 m3. The length of its base is twice the width. Material for

the base costs $1 per m2. Material for the sides and lid costs $2 per m2. Find the dimensions of the container which will minimize cost and the minimum cost.

Answer:

Dimensions are 2 m by 1 meter by 1 meter,

Minimum cost is $ 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width ( in meters ) of the container,

Since, the length is twice of the width,

So, length of the container = 2w,

Now, if h be the height of the container,

Volume = length × width × height

2 = 2w × w × h

1 = w² × h

\implies h=\frac{1}{w^2}

Since, the area of the base = l × w = 2w × w = 2w²,

Area of the lid = l × w = 2w²,

While the area of the sides = 2hw + 2hl

= 2h( w + l)

= 2\times \frac{1}{w^2}(w+2w)

=\frac{6w}{w^2}

=\frac{6}{w}  

Since, Material for the base costs $1 per m². Material for the sides and lid costs $2 per m²,

So, the total cost,

C(w) = 1\times 2w^2+2\times 2w^2 + 2\times \frac{6}{w}

=2w^2+4w^2+\frac{12}{w}

=6w^2+\frac{12}{w}

Differentiating with respect to w,

C'(w) = 12w -\frac{12}{w^2}

Again differentiating with respect to w,

C''(w) = 12 + \frac{24}{w^3}

For maxima or minima,

C'(w) = 0

\implies 12w -\frac{12}{w^2}=0

\implies 12w^3 - 12=0

w^3-1=0\implies w = 1

For w = 1, C''(w) = positive,

Hence, for width 1 m the cost is minimum,

Therefore, the minimum cost is C(1) = 6(1)²+12 = $ 18,

And, the dimension for which the cost is minimum is,

2 m by 1 meter by 1 meter.

Anyone know how to do this?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 60 dollars, we have 16

60-16 = 44

We need to earn 44 more dollars

At 4 dollars a pound

The money earned = lbs * dollars per pound

44 = lbs *4

Divide each side by 4

44/4 = lbs

11 = lbs

We must sell 11 more lbs

I have to write the slope and equation of each line pictured in y = mx + b form.
Brut [27]

Answer:

y=7/3x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to start at the 3and rise all the way to the 8 which is 7 and then run which is 3 so the slope mx is 7/3x. To find b which is the y intercept find the point where the line hits the y-axis.

You open a drink stand where you sell coffee and hot chocolate. You sell coffee for $1.80 and hot chocolate for $3.15. At the en
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

c = 69 and h = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need two different equations here

use variable c as coffee and variable h as hot chocolate

c + h = 120

1.80c + 3.15h = 284.40

By moving variables, you can alter the first equation

h = 120 - c

Now insert this into the second equation

1.80c + 3.15(120 - c) = 284.40

Multiply

1.80c + 378 - 3.15c = 284.40

Subtract the c

-1.35c + 378 = 284.40

Subtract 378 from both sides

-1.35c = -93.6

Divide both sides by -1.35

c = 69

Then plug into the first equation

69 + h = 120

Subtract 69

h = 51
