Alrighty
squaer base so length=width, nice
v=lwh
but in this case, l=w, so replace l with w
V=w²h
and volume is 32000
32000=w²h
the amount of materials is the surface area
note that there is no top
so
SA=LW+2H(L+W)
L=W so
SA=W²+2H(2W)
SA=W²+4HW
alrighty
we gots
SA=W²+4HW and
32000=W²H
we want to minimize the square foottage
get rid of one of the variables
32000=W²H
solve for H
32000/W²=H
subsitute
SA=W²+4WH
SA=W²+4W(32000/W²)
SA=W²+128000/W
take derivitive to find the minimum
dSA/dW=2W-128000/W²
where does it equal 0?
0=2W-1280000/W²
128000/W²=2W
128000=2W³
64000=W³
40=W
so sub back
32000/W²=H
32000/(40)²=H
32000/(1600)=H
20=H
the box is 20cm height and the width and length are 40cm
X^2-5x+5x-25 (multiply (x-5) with (x+5))
X^2-25 ( -5x+5x =0)
Since the lines are parallel and you know the slope of
is -2, you know the slope of line
will also be -2. You can see on the coordinate grid that line
crosses the y-axis at -1. When you piece all of these facts together into slope-intercept form you get
= -2x - 1.
The factored form would be (3x-9)(x-1)
The picture should help a bit
