Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{ B. 2}}$

f(x) = 2x + 6

Differentiating 2x = 2 (Power rule, dy/dx xⁿ = nxⁿ⁻¹)

Differentiating a constant always equals 0.

Thus:

f'(x) = 2

Round off 4252 to one significant figure

marysya [2.9K]

<span>The rounded result is 4,000. If you just write "4,000", though, it's not clear whether there are 1, 2, 3 or 4 significant figures, since trailing zeroes could be significant (or not). For that reason, scientific notation is often used. 4 × 10³ has one significant digit, 4.0 × 10³ has two, 4.00 × 10³ has three, and so on.

So, use either 4,000 or 4 × 10³, depending on what your teacher expects.</span>

Which shows the dimensions of two rectangular prisms that have volumes of 240 ft3 but different surface areas?

bulgar [2K]

Calculate the volume and surface areas of both rectangular prisms for each option.

A:

Rectangular Prism #1
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(8)(5)(6)=240~ft^3$

$\sf A=2((8)(5)+(6)(5)+(6)(8))$
$\sf A=236~ft^2$

Rectangular Prism #2
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(5)(6)(8)=240~ft^3$

$\sf A=2((5)(6)+(8)(6)+(8)(5))$
$\sf A=236~ft^2$

This is incorrect, they have the same volume of 240 cubic feet and the same surface areas.

B:

Rectangular Prism #1
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(8)(5)(6)=240~ft^3$

$\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)$
$\sf A=2((8)(5)+(6)(5)+(6)(8))$
$\sf A=236~ft^2$

Rectangular Prism #2
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(10)(8)(3)=240~ft^3$

$\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)$
$\sf A=2((10)(8)+(3)(8)+(3)(10))$
$\sf A=268~ft^2$

$\boxed{\sf Correct~Answer}$ : Both have the same volume of 240 cubic feet, but different surface areas.

C:

Rectangular Prism #1
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(15)(8)(2)=240~ft^3$

$\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)$
$\sf A=2((15)(8)+(2)(8)+(2)(15))$
$\sf A=332~ft^2$

Rectangular Prism #2
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(6)(4)(15)=360~ft^3$

$\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)$
$\sf A=2((6)(4)+(15)(4)+(15)(6))$
$\sf A=348~ft^2$

This is incorrect, they have different surface areas, but only Rectangle #1 has a volume of 240 cubic feet.

D:

Rectangular Prism #1
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(12)(6)(5)=360~ft^3$

$\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)$
$\sf A=2((12)(6)+(5)(6)+(5)(12))$
$\sf A=324~ft^2$

Rectangular Prism #2
$\sf V=lwh$
$\sf V=(8)(10)(3)=240~ft^3$

$\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)$
$\sf A=2((8)(10)+(3)(10)+(3)(8))$
$\sf A=268~ft^2$

This is incorrect, they both have different surface areas but only Rectangle #2 has a volume of 240 cubic feet.
