Answer:

x = 10 cm, y = 5 cm gives a minimum area of 300 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

V= x^2y = 500

Surface area A = x^2 + 4xy.

From the first equation y = 500/x^2

So substituting for y in the equation for the surface area:

A = x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2

A = x^2 + 2000/x

Finding the derivative:

dA/dx = 2x - 2000x^-2

dA/dx = 2x - 2000/x^2

This = 0 for a minimum/maximum value of A, so

2x - 2000/x^2  = 0

2x^3 - 2000 = 0

x^3 = 2000/ 2 = 1000

x = 10

Second derivative is  2 + 4000/x^3

when x = 10  this is positive so x = 10 gives a minimum value of A.

So y =  500/x^2

= 500/100

= 5.

Solve the equation<br> 15x+2=45x+4
BaLLatris [955]
15x + 2 = 45x + 4

Subtract 2 from both sides, as well as subtracting 45x from both sides.

15x - 45x = 4 - 2

-30x = 2

Divide both sides by -30.

x = 2/-30

x = - 1/15

QUESTION 5 What is the area of the trapezoid?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

126 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is found by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h

A = 1/2 ( 12+16)*9

A = 1/2 (28) *9

  = 126

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of each curved path is 200 feet. Since the two curved semi circular paths are equal, they would form a circle. It means that the distance around the two semi circular paths would be the circumference of the circle. Formula for determining the circumference of the circle is π × diameter. It becomes

200 × 3.14 = 628 feet

Total distance around the track would be

300 + 300 + 628 = 1228 feet

5280 feet = 1 mile

1228 feet = 1228/5280 = 0.23 mile

If he runs around the track exactly 15 times, it means that the number of miles covered is

0.23 × 15 = 3.45 miles

Since he will collect $4.50 for every mile he runs, the amount of money that he collected is

4.5 × 3.45 = $15.5
