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

Kaitlyn drove 360 miles in 9 hours. If she continues driving at the same speed, how far will she have driven in 11 hours?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

440 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to calculate the number of miles per hour. To do this, take the total number of miles traveled and divide it by the number of hours it took. 360/9=40. This means Kaitlyn drove at 40 miles per hour. Then, we need to multiply 40 by 11 to figure out the number of miles she drove in 11 hours because her speed stayed the same. 40*11=440. This means Kaitlyn will have driven 440 miles in 11 hours.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the slope and y intercept <br> (Please show work)
zepelin [54]

Answer:

slope = - 6, y- intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

0 = 2x - \frac{5}{3} + \frac{1}{3} y ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions )

0 = 6x - 5 + y ( subtract 6x - 5 from both sides )

- 6x + 5 = y , that is

y = - 6x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 6 and y- intercept c = 5

The Answers are B and C
Its B because 12 is MORE than twice as much as M. Meaning 140 is larger than 2*m
Its C because again it is MORE than twice as much as M. Meaning that 140 is larger than 2m.

Answers;B,C
