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.

This is the "commutative property of addition."  The order in which you add numbers together doesn't matter, and doesn't change your final results.

Peter took one of his friends out to lunch. The lunches cost $100 plus he
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Tax = $12 Tip = $18 Total Cost = $130

Step-by-step explanation:

tax = tax percentage x amount

0.12 x 100 = 12

tip = tip percentage x amount

0.18 x 100 = 18

The Total Cost

total cost = cost + tax + tip

100 + 12 + 18

Add them up and it would be

$130

A Florida factory produces fishing reels at a rate of 800 per day, every day. In April, they are forced to cut their production
Bingel [31]

Multiply 800 to 4/5 to see how much they make per day.

800 * 4/5 = 640

So, they make 640 fishing reels per day.

Multiply this to 30:

640 * 30 = 19,200

So they will make 19,200 fishing reels in 30 days.

This is not enough for the order.

Pls help 9th grade math
loris [4]

Inequalities will have a <, >, <=, =>, = or will be worded as "Less than", "greater than", etc.

Equations must have mathematical functions and equal sign.

15=3x is an equation since 3x = 3*x

Finally, expressions are mathematical functions that have no equal signs.
