Alrighty


squaer base so length=width, nice


v=lwh
but in this case, l=w, so replace l with w
V=w²h

and volume is 32000
32000=w²h


the amount of materials is the surface area
note that there is no top
so
SA=LW+2H(L+W)
L=W so
SA=W²+2H(2W)
SA=W²+4HW

alrighty

we gots
SA=W²+4HW and
32000=W²H

we want to minimize the square foottage
get rid of one of the variables
32000=W²H
solve for H
32000/W²=H
subsitute

SA=W²+4WH
SA=W²+4W(32000/W²)
SA=W²+128000/W

take derivitive to find the minimum
dSA/dW=2W-128000/W²
where does it equal 0?

0=2W-1280000/W²
128000/W²=2W
128000=2W³
64000=W³
40=W

so sub back
32000/W²=H
32000/(40)²=H
32000/(1600)=H
20=H

the box is 20cm height and the width and length are 40cm

Please help x=10 evaluate f(x) a:24 b :16 C: no solution d :103
OLga [1]
Since x=10 we know our function is f(x)=x^{2}+3.

To solve, substitute the given value:
f(10)=10^{2}+3=100+3=103

the constant of proportionality is always the point_______, where k is the constant of proportionality. Additionally, you can fi
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables say x and y are proportional let us assume y dependent variable and x independent variable

then we have y =kx

Here k is called the constant of proportionality.

Whenever x increases/decreases by 1 unit, the y value also increases/decreases by k units.

Whenever x=1, y =k

and always \frac{y}{x} =k

Thus we can fill up as

the constant of proportionality is always the point___(1.k)____, where k is the constant of proportionality. Additionally, you can find the constant of proportionality by finding the ratio of___y to x____, for any point on the___graph of the function.___.
