Your iron works has been contracted to design and build a 500-ft3 square-based, open-top, rectangular steel holding tank for a p

aper company. The tank is to be made by welding half-inch-thick stainless steel plates together along their edges. As the production engineer, your job is to find dimensions for the base and height that will make the tank weight as little as possible. What dimensions do you tell the shop to use?

500 cubic feet of 1/2-inch thick stainless steel plates will weigh the same no matter what dimensions are use for area and height of tank.

A 5 foot by 5 foot area 20 feet high (500 cubic feet) will weigh just as much as a  10 foot by 10 foot area 5 feet high (also 500 cubic feet) since you are using the same amount of material for the whole tank. Only possible change in weight of tank is the use of welding material and how evenly and good the welder is at welding stainless steel.

6n-3&gt;-18<br> Solve the inequality
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<h3>n>-5/2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember that, isolate n on one side of the equation.

6n-3>-18

6n-3+3>-18+3 (Add 3 from both sides.)

-18+3 (Solve.)

-18+3=-15

6n>-15

6n/6>-15/6 (Divide by 6 from both sides.)

-15/6 (Solve.)

-15/6=-5/2

n>-5/2

In conclusion, the correct answer is n>-5/2.

Please answer number 16. please explain the steps
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

X = -2 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all of the terms to one side and set the equation to 0:

2x^2-14x+40-3x^2+16x-32 = 0

Then combine all like terms which would look like the following:

-x^2 + 2x + 8=0

Change the signs on both sides of the equation:

x^2 - 2x - 8 =0

Write -2x as a difference:

x^2 + 2x - 4x -8 = 0

Factor the expression:

x(x+2) x 4(x+2)=0

Factor out x+2 from the equation:

(x+2) (x-4)=0

Split into classes and then find the answer from there:

x+2=0

x-4=0

1. Which range of numbers is most appropriate for the y-axis scale and interval on a graph given the
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the range of numbers is most appropriate for the y-axis scale and interval on a graph for given table.

From the given table it is clear that the minimum value of y is 10 and the maximum value of y is 34.

It means 10 and 34 must be included in the Range.

In option C and D 34 in not included in the range, so these options are incorrect.

In option A, 10 is the minimum value of range and interval of 10 is not possible for the range 10-35, because it contains only multiple of 10 on the y-axis. So, this option is incorrect.

In option B, both 10 and 34 are included and interval of 5 is possible for range 0-35.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
