Suppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is $$12 cubic meters. Assume that the cost o

f materials for the base is$$12 dollars per square meter, and the cost of materials for the sides is $$8 dollars per square meter. The height of the box is three times the width of the base. What’s the least amount of money we can spend to build such a container?

Answer:265.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of box=12 m^3

height is 3 times the width

let height, length and breadth be H, L & B

H=3\times B

V=12=L\times B\times H

4=B^2\times L[/tex]

L=\frac{4}{B^2}

Cost of side walls $ 8/m^2

Cost of base $ 12/m^2

Cost of side walls=(2LH+2BH)\cdot 8

Cost of base =12LB

Total cost C=16LH+16BH+12LB

C=48LB+48B^2+12LB

C=\frac{192}{B}+48B^2+\frac{48}{B}

differentiate C w.r.t B to get minimum cost

\frac{\mathrm{d} C}{\mathrm{d} B}=-\frac{192}{B^2}+2\times 48 B-\frac{48}{B^2}

B^3=\frac{240}{2\times 48}

B=1.35 m

H=3\times 1.35=4.07 m

L=2.19 m

C=$ 265.25

an astronaut drops a rock into a crater on the moon. the distance, d(t), in meters, the rock travels after t seconds can be mode
Elenna [48]
Given
d(t) = 0.8t ^2

t= 5 secs
d(5) = 0.8(5)^2 = 0.8 * 25 = 20
t= 10 secs
d(10) = 0.8(10)^2 = 0.8 * 100 = 80

20 m / 5 secs = 4 meters per sec
80 m / 10 sec = 8 meters per sec

4 mps + 8 mps = 12 mps
12 mps / 2 = 6 mps
6 mps is the average speed of the rock between 5 and 10 sec after being dropped

2 adults per 9 students or the fraction 2/9
Now put that fraction 2/9=x/171 in other words, how many adults (x) for 171 students?
can you cross multiply and get 9x=342
and solve for x?

How you have the number of students and the number of adults.

B. for food multiply $6 times the total number of people.

C. for tickets multiply 4.50 times the student number and
7.50 times the adult number.

D. for the bus parking fee multiply .04 times you total answer in part C.

Abi had 20 cents. She bought x pencils for 3 cents each. If y equals the number of cents left, write an equation that shows the
Vladimir [108]

An equation that shows the dependence of y on x is y=20-3x and the domain of the function is x=[0,6], x \in N.

Total number of cents = 20.

She bought x pencils for 3 cents each.

Let y equals the number of cents left.

So, 3x+y=20.

y=20-3x

Here y must be positive

So, 20-3x>0

20>3x

\frac{20}{3}>x

Domain of a function is the set of values for which the function is defined.

So, x can get values from 0 to 6.

Therefore, the domain is:  

x=[0,6], x \in N.

Sindi borrowed an amount of money from his father to open the Salon. The loan will be paid back by means of payments of R25 000
amm1812

The present value of the loan will be = R36,250

<h3>Calculation of the present value</h3>

The principal capital (P) = R25 000

Interest rate for the payment (R)= 7.5%

Time for the payment (T)= 6 years

Therefore simple interest = P×T×R/100

= 25,000×6×7.5/100

= 250×6×7.5

= R11,250

The present value of the loan will be;

= 25,000 + 11,250

= R36,250
