Answer:

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.

The length of one side of the base of the given box  is 3 ft.

The height of the box is 30.22 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a rectangular box with volume of 272 cubic ft.

Assume height of the box be h and the length of one side of the square base of the box is x.

Area of the base is = (x\times x)

                               =x^2

The volume of the box  is = area of the base × height

                                           =x^2h

Therefore,

x^2h=272

\Rightarrow h=\frac{272}{x^2}

The cost per square foot for bottom is 20 cent.

The cost to construct of the bottom of the box is

=area of the bottom ×20

=20x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for top is 10 cent.

The cost to construct of the top of the box is

=area of the top ×10

=10x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for side is 1.5 cent.

The cost to construct of the sides of the box is

=area of the side ×1.5

=4xh\times 1.5 cents

=6xh cents

Total cost = (20x^2+10x^2+6xh)

                =30x^2+6xh

Let

C=30x^2+6xh

Putting the value of h

C=30x^2+6x\times \frac{272}{x^2}

\Rightarrow C=30x^2+\frac{1632}{x}

Differentiating with respect to x

C'=60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}

Again differentiating with respect to x

C''=60+\frac{3264}{x^3}

Now set C'=0

60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}=0

\Rightarrow 60x=\frac{1632}{x^2}

\Rightarrow x^3=\frac{1632}{60}

\Rightarrow x\approx 3

Now C''|_{x=3}=60+\frac{3264}{3^3}>0

Since at x=3 , C''>0. So at x=3, C has a minimum value.

The length of one side of the base of the box is 3 ft.

The height of the box is =\frac{272}{3^2}

                                          =30.22 ft.

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.

SOLVE FOR M. please :)
STatiana [176]

Answer:

m =  - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ - 3}{7} m = 12

\frac{ - 7}{3} ( \frac{ - 3}{7})m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

\frac{ - 1}{3} ( - 3)m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

- 1( - 1)m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

1 \times m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

m =  \frac{ - 7}{3}  \times 12

m =  \frac{ - 7}{3} (3 \times 4)

m =  - 28

Help please 1. Describe the transformations necessary to transform the graph of
natta225 [31]

Here are all the steps, and what they do:

STEP 1: HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION

We transform

x^2\mapsto (x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x+k)

These transformations translate the graph horizontally, k units to the left if k>0, k units to the right if k<0.

In this case, k = -1, so we translate the original graph 1 unit to the right.

STEP 2: VERTICAL STRETCH

We transform

(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto kf(x)

These transformations stretch the graph vertically. The graph expands if |k|>1, while it shrinks if 0<|k|<1. If k is negative, we also reflect the graph with respect to the x axis.

In this case, k = 3, so we stretch the graph vertically by a factor 3.

STEP 3: VERTICAL TRANSLATION

We transform

3(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2+4

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x)+k

These transformations translate the graph vertically, k units up if k>0, k units down if k<0.

In this case, k = 4, so we translate the graph 4 units up.

So, we start from the original graph of f(x)=x^2 and we:

  • Translate it 1 unit to the right
  • Stretch it vertically by a factor 3
  • Translate it 4 units up

(the order is important!)

to get the graph of g(x)=3(x-1)^2+4

There are approximately 7.7 billion humans on Earth. If the virus spreads beyond the 200-person town, how long will it be until
eimsori [14]

Answer:

25.2 weeks until everyone on the planet is infected

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of infected people after t weeks has the following format:

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which P(0) is the initial number of infected people and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

The number of infected people doubles every week

This means that P(1) = 2P(0)

So

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

2P(0) = P(0)(1+r)

1 + r = 2

r = 1

So

P(t) = P(0)*(2)^{t}

200-person town

This means that P(0) = 200

So

P(t) = P(0)*(2)^{t}

P(t) = 200*(2)^{t}

How long will it be until everyone on the planet is infected?

This is t for which P(t) = 7700000000[/tex]

So

P(t) = 200*(2)^{t}

7700000000 = 200*(2)^{t}

2^{t} = \frac{7700000000}{200}

\log{2^{t}} = \log{\frac{7700000000}{200}}

t\log{2} = \log{\frac{7700000000}{200}}

t = \frac{\log{\frac{7700000000}{200}}}{\log{2}}

t = 25.2

25.2 weeks until everyone on the planet is infected
