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.

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Expanding (FOIL)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

f(x) = 1 - x²

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function f(x)]:                                                                          f(2x + 4) = 1 - (2x + 4)²
  2. Expand [FOIL]:                                                                                                  f(2x + 4) = 1 - (4x² + 16x + 16)
  3. (Parenthesis) Distribute negative:                                                                   f(2x + 4) = 1 - 4x² - 16x - 16
  4. Combine like terms:                                                                                          f(2x + 4) = -4x² -16x - 15

I REALLY NEED HELP FAST I WILL GIVE BRAINLYEST
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

In common scientific notation, any nonzero quantity can be expressed in two parts: sufficient whose absolute value is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10, and a power of 10 by which the coefficient is multiplied. In some writings, the coefficients are closer to zero by one order of magnitude. In this scheme, any nonzero quantity is expressed in two parts: a coefficient whose absolute value is greater than or equal to 0.1 but less than 1, and a power of 10 by which the coefficient is multiplied. The quantity zero is denoted as 0 unless precision is demanded, in which case the requisite number of significant digits are written out
