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

A study on how circus ticket pricing influences ticket sales shows that there is an average increase of 4 people for every $3 de
____ [38]
Let the price of a ticket be originally T dollars, and the number of clients be N.

let the price decrease by x  3-dollars.

"there is an average increase of 4 people for every $3 decrease on the price of the ticket."

means:

if the price is decreased by 1-3$:
 then N become N+4, and T becomes T-3    


if the price is decreased by 2-3$:
 then N become N+4+4=N+2*4, and T becomes T-3-3=T-2*3    

 So if the price is decrease by x-3 dollars:

N  becomes N+4x, and T becomes T-3x


"A circus owner sells an average of 340 tickets when the price of a ticket is $75."

In this case N=340, and T=75$

If the owner does not change the price ticket, x=0, the revenue is 340*75,

If the owner decreases the price of the tickets by x-3$, then the revenue will be 
(N+4x)(T-3x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars,

If R is the function of the revenue depending on x, then 

R(x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars

 
Answer: R(x)=(340+4x)(75-3x) dollars

Bogdan [553]
Let x represent the number of liters of 50% acid Theresa puts into the mix. The the number of liters of 30% acid will be (420-x). The total amount of acid in the final solution will be ...
  0.50x + 0.30(420-x) = 0.45(420)
  0.20x + 126 = 189 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
  0.20x = 63 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 126
  x = 63/0.20 = 315 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . liters of 50% solution
  (420-x) = 420-315 = 105 . . . . . . . . . liters of 30% solution

Theresa should mix ...
