A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 296352 c m 3 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimi

ze the amount of material used. First, find a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x , the length of one side of the square base. [Hint: use the volume formula to express the height of the box in terms of x .] Simplify your formula as much as possible.

Answer:

  • Base Length of 84cm
  • Height of 42 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a box with a square base and an open top which must have a volume of 296352 cubic centimetre. We want to minimize the amount of material used.

Step 1:

Let the side length of the base =x

Let the height of the box =h

Since the box has a square base

Volume, V=x^2h=296352

h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}

Surface Area of the box = Base Area + Area of 4 sides

A(x,h)=x^2+4xh\\$Substitute h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\\A(x)=x^2+4x\left(\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\right)\\A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}

Step 2: Find the derivative of A(x)

If\:A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}\\A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}

Step 3: Set A'(x)=0 and solve for x

A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}=0\\2x^3-1185408=0\\2x^3=1185408\\$Divide both sides by 2\\x^3=592704\\$Take the cube root of both sides\\x=\sqrt[3]{592704}\\x=84

Step 4: Verify that x=84 is a minimum value

We use the second derivative test

A''(x)=\dfrac{2x^3+2370816}{x^3}\\$When x=84$\\A''(x)=6

Since the second derivative is positive at x=84, then it is a minimum point.

Recall:

h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}=\dfrac{296352}{84^2}=42

Therefore, the dimensions that minimizes the box surface area are:

  • Base Length of 84cm
  • Height of 42 cm.

What is the equation of a circle with the center (2,3) and radius 3
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

(x - 2)² + (y - 3)² = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

here (h, k) = (2, 3) and r = 3, hence

(x - 2)² + (y - 3)² = 9 ← equation of circle

I’m stuck and I would really like your help.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Answer: 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5x-4=8-3/5x.

We want to tank x out of the denominator by multiplying x on both sides.

2/5-4x=8x-3/5

Now we simplify

-12x=-1

x=1/12

Put x in the equation to check it
