Answer:

SA(x) = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = 3m^3 --- volume

x \to base\ length

y \to height

Required

The surface area as a function of base length

The volume (V) is calculated as:

V = Base\ Area * Height

V = x*x*y

V = x^2*y

Make y the subject

y = \frac{V}{x^2}

Substitute 3 for V

y = \frac{3}{x^2}

The surface area of the open box is:

SA = x^2 + 2xy+2xy

SA = x^2 + 4xy

Substitute: y = \frac{3}{x^2}

SA = x^2 + 4x*\frac{3}{x^2}

SA = x^2 + 4*\frac{3}{x}

SA = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}

Hence, the function is:

SA(x) = x^2 + \frac{12}{x}

*URGENT*TEST TOMORROW*
Luden [163]

Answer:

"Dominic lived in Spain for 13 months and Columbia for 7 months."

Step-by-step explanation:

let months stayed in spain be "s" and months stayed in columbia be "c"

We can write 2 equations.

Since, lived in Spain and Columbia for a total of 20 months, we can write:

s + c = 20

Also, since 120 words per month in Spain and 150 words per month in Columbia for a total of 2610 new words, we can write:

120s + 150c=2610

Solving first for s:

s = 20 - c

Putting in 2nd and solving:

120(20 - c) + 150c = 2610

2400 - 120c + 150c = 2610

30c = 210

c = 7

Now,

s = 20 - c = 20 - 7 = 13

So

"Dominic lived in Spain for 13 months and Columbia for 7 months."
