Answer: 12?????? i dont know what the question is saying bc ur took a picture of something too close maybe get the whole question?
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph line will drop down by 12. meaning your initial cost (without any labor and material costs) goes down by 12, since your unit is in thousands
The first thing we are going to do for this case is define variables.
We have then:
y = the cost of the box
x = one side of the square base
z = height of the box
The volume of the building is 14,000 cubic feet:
x ^ 2 * z = 14000
We cleared z:
z = (14000 / x ^ 2)
On the other hand, the cost will be:
floor = 4 (x ^ 2)
roof = 3 (x ^ 2)
for the walls:
1 side = 16 (x * (14000 / x ^ 2)) = 16 (14000 / x)
4 sides = 64 (14000 / x) = 896000 / x
The total cost is:
y = floor + roof + walls
y = 4 (x ^ 2) + 3 (x ^ 2) + 896000 / x
y = 7 (x ^ 2) + 896000 / x
We derive the function:
y '= 14x - 896000 / x ^ 2
We match zero:
0 = 14x - 896000 / x ^ 2
We clear x:
14x = 896000 / x ^ 2
x ^ 3 = 896000/14
x = (896000/14) ^ (1/3)
x = 40
min cost (y) occurs when x = 40 ft
Then,
y = 7 * (40 ^ 2) + 896000/40
y = 33600 $
Then the height
z = 14000/40 ^ 2 = 8.75 ft
The price is:
floor = 4 * (40 ^ 2) = 6400
roof = 3 * (40 ^ 2) = 4800
walls = 16 * 4 * (40 * 8.75) = 22400
Total cost = $ 33600 (as calculated previously)
Answer:
The dimensions for minimum cost are:
40 * 40 * 8.75
