<span>dimensions of the nickel plated square base: x*x = x^2
height: y
dimensions of the 4 silver plated sides: xy each
dimensions of the nickel plated top: x^2
Volume = 30cm^3 = yx^2 => y = 30 / x^2
Cost of the sides: 4 * xy * $3
Cost ot the top and the bottom: 2 * x^2 * $1
Total cost: 12xy + 2x^2
replace y by 30/x^2
=> cost = 12x * (30/x^2) + 2x^2 = 360 / x + 2x^2
Minimum cost => d [cost] / dx = 0 = - 360/x^2 + 4x =0
=> 90/x^2 - x =0
=> 90 - x^3 = 0
=> x^3 = 90
=> x = ∛(90) = 4.48
=> y = 30 / (4.48)^2 = 1.49
Answer: base: 4.48 cm* 4.48 cm; height: 1.49 cm

Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = -8+4
2x = -4
x = -2
CHECK
-4 - 4 = -8
