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

Don’t know how to solve, help ?

I believe the answer is 88 because the 120 will create a straight angle which is 180. Then you do 180-120=60. This is the measure I the left angle. Now your answer will be 88

I got the answer but I don't understand what the -1 does
Kazeer [188]
The -1 affects the coefficient of the entire term.

Without the -1,
the term has a positive coefficient.
(3a)² = 9a²

However, with the -1,
the term has a negative coefficient.
-(3a)² = -9a²

A sports club needs to raise at least $500 by selling chocolate bars for $2.50 each. Sebastian wants to know how many chocolate
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The inequality should be written as $2.50 times c is greater than or equal to c.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) Each chocolate bar is $2.50

2) Sebastian needs to raise at least $500

So, Sebastian needs to sell at least enough chocolate bars to hit $500. The inequality cannot be written as less than or equal to, because he can't sell less than the number of chocolate bars needed to make $500.

Automatically, I can calculate the minimum number of bars he'll need to sell.

500/2.50 = 200 chocolate bars minimum

c must equal greater than or equal to $500, for Sebastian to raise enough money! So, basically Sebastian has to sell 200 bars OR more.

Hope this helps! :)
