Answer:

x = 6.54 cm

h = 3.27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of open top box

V = 140 cm³

Dimensions of the box

It is a base square box then area of the base of side x is

A(b) = x²

And we will call h the height of the box then

V = 140   ⇒    140 = x²*h     ⇒   h = 140/ x²

We have to calculate the area of the 4 sides

Area of one side is  As = x*h        ⇒ total area of 4 sides = 4 x* 140/x²  

Ats  =  560/x

Then Total area of the box is

A(t)  =  Area of the base  +  Total area of sides

A(x)  =   x²  +   560/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  2x   -  560/x²

A´(x)  =  0     ⇒    2x   -  560/x² = 0   ⇒   2x³  -  560  = 0

x³  =  280     ⇒    x  = 6.54 cm

And h      h  =  140/ (6.54)²    ⇒ h =  140/ 42.77    h  = 3.27 cm

If f(x) = 16x – 30 and g(x) = 14x – 6, for which value of x does (f – g)(x) = 0?
andre [41]

The value of the x will be 12. The value of the x is obtained from the condition,(f – g)(x) = 0

<h3>What exactly is a function?</h3>

A function is a statement, rule, or law that specifies the connection between two variables. Functions are common in mathematics and are required for the formulation of physical connections.

Given function;

f(x) = 16x – 30

g(x) = 14x – 6

⇒(f – g)(x) = 0

⇒(16x – 30)-(14x – 6)=0

⇒16x-30-14x+6=0

⇒2x-24=0

⇒x=24/2

⇒x=12

Hence, the value of the x will be 12.
