Answer:

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box has a square base, let length = width = x. Also, let the height = y, therefore:

The volume of box = width * length * height

4000 = x * x * y

4000 = x²y

y=4000/x²

The surface area (SA) = area of the base + sum of the area of each side

SA = x² + xy + xy + xy + xy

SA = x² + 4xy

substitute y = 4000/x²

SA = x² + 4x(4000/x²)

SA = x² + 16000/x

Taking the derivative:

SA' = 2x - 16000/x²

making SA' = 0:

0 = 2x - 16000/x²

2x = 16000/x²

2x³ = 16000

x³ = 8000

x = 20 cm

y = 4000 / x² = 4000 / 20² = 10 cm

Hence the width, length is 20 cm and height is 10 cm

Neil's Ice Creamery sold 50 sundaes last week. There were nuts on 22 of the sundaes. What is the ratio of the number of sundaes
Mkey [24]

The ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the number of sundaes without nuts is 11/14

What is ratio?

Ratio is a quantitative relationship between two values  indicating the number of times one value contains within the other value

In other words, we are expressing the number of sundaes with nuts as a fraction of the ones without nuts

There are 22 sundaes with nuts

number of sundaes without nuts=50-22

number of sundaes without nuts=28

sundaes with nuts/sundaes without nuts=22/28

2 is common to both numbers

sundaes with nuts/sundaes without nuts=11/14

The variable used to predict changes in the values of another value is called the response variable.
Sholpan [36]
I think the statement given above is false. The variable used to predict changes in the values of another value is not called the response variable. The variable used to predict another variable is called the independent, <span>predictor or </span><span>explanatory variable. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Prove the identity<br> cos(A+B+C)=cosAcosBcosC-cosAsinBsinC-sinAcosBcosC-sinAsinBcosC
blagie [28]
Hello !

cos (a+b) = cos a cos b - sin a sin b
sin (a+b) = sin a cos b + sin b cos a

cos (a+b+c) = cos (a+(b+c))
cos (a+b+c) = cos a cos (b+c) - sin a sin (b+c)
cos (a+b+c) = cos a (cos b cos c - sin b sin c) - sin a (sin b cos c + sin c cos b)
cos (a+b+c)=cos a cos b cos c - cos a sin b sin c - sin a sin b cos c - sin a cos b sin c
