To solve/simplify this all you have to do is group like terms (the x^2's with each other, the x's with each other, and the normal numbers, -8)
14x^2-8+5x-6x^2+2x
group the x^2 (add 14x^2 to -6x^2)
8x^2-8+5x+2x
group the x's together (add 5x and 2x together)
8x^2+7x-8
Your answer will be d) 8x^2+7x-8
Answer:
y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
7y - 5 = 9y + 10 + y
7y - 5 = 10y + 10
3y + 10 = -5
3y = -15
y = -5
Answer:
1100 - 0.04x
Step-by-step explanation:
0.07x + 0.11(10,000 - x)
0.07x - 0.11x +1100
-0.04x + 1100
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side of the square base be x
h be the height of the box
Volume V = x²h
13500 = x²h
h = 13500/x² ..... 1
Surface area = x² + 2xh + 2xh
Surface area S = x² + 4xh ...... 2
Substitute 1 into 2;
From 2; S = x² + 4xh
S = x² + 4x(13500/x²)
S = x² + 54000/x
To minimize the amount of material used; dS/dx = 0
dS/dx = 2x - 54000/x²
0 = 2x - 54000/x²
0 = 2x³ - 54000
2x³ = 54000
x³ = 27000
x = ∛27000
x = 30cm
Since V = x²h
13500 = 30²h
h = 13500/900
h = 15cm
Hence the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is 30cm by 30cm by 15cm
