Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the volume = 88 cubic feet

Then:

L = 3w --- (1)volume = l \times w \times h \\ \\ 88 =  (3w)   \times w  \times h \\ \\ 3w^2 h= 88 \\ \\ h = \dfrac{88}{3w^2}--- (2) \\ \\

The construction cost now is:

C = 4(l \times w) + 2 ( w  \times h) + 2(l \times h) \\ \\ C = 4(3w^2) + 2(w  \times \dfrac{88}{3w^2}) + 2(3w \times \dfrac{88}{3w^2}) \\\\ C = 12w^2 + \dfrac{176}{3w} + \dfrac{176}{w}

Now, to determine the minimum cost:

\dfrac{dC}{dw}= 0  \\ \\ \implies 24 w - \dfrac{176}{3w^2}- \dfrac{176}{w^2}=0 \\ \\ 24 w ^3 = \dfrac{176}{w^2}(\dfrac{1}{3}+1) \\ \\ 24 w ^3 = \dfrac{176(4)}{3} \\ \\ w^3 = \dfrac{88}{3(3)}

w = \dfrac{88}{3(3)}^{1/3} \ feet

Now;

length = 3 ( \dfrac{88}{3(3)})^{1/3} \ feet

height = ( 88})^{1/3} (3)^{1/3} \ feet

Where does a hole occur in the graph of y = x(x+2) / x(x-3)
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = \frac{x(x+2)}{x(x-3)} ← cancel x on numerator/ denominator

 = \frac{x+2}{x-3}

Cancelling the factor x, leaves a hole in the graph at x = 0

marta [7]

Answer:

0.9545

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator with probability distribution functions.

Here we'd use normcdf(   ).

normcdf(300,700,500,100) = approximately 0.9545
