There are 6 surfaces on a rectangular prism . 3 pairs of equal area.

Surface area  2wl + 2hw + 2 hl     where h = height, w = width,  l = length.

So inserting the given values:-

442 = 2*w*11 + 2 *8* w + 2*8*11

442 = 22w  + 16w + 176

38w =  442-176 = 266

w =  7

width = 7 feet

Formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is S=2ab + 2bc + 2ac (a-lenght,b-width,c-height).
We need to calculate b (width).
S=442 ft^2
a=11 ft
c=8ft
------------------
b=?

S=2ab + 2bc + 2ac
S=2b(a+c) + 2ac
2b(a+c)=S - 2ac
b=(S - 2ac)/(2(a+c))
b=(442 - 2×11×8)/(2×(11+8))
b=(442 - 176)/(2×19)
b=266/38
b=7 ft

(c) The line with equation y = 2x +k is a tangent to curve y = 3x² +4. Find the value of k.​
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

k = 11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is tangent to the curve, then Δ = 0.

______________

Remembering:

Δ>0 two different points of intersection x' \neqx''

Δ=0 one point of intersection x' = x''

Δ<0 two different points of intersection in the complex plan x' and -x'

______________

As the line and the curve have one point of intersection, which is (x, y), we can make a equality between them:

2x + k = 3x² + 4

0 = 3x² - 2x + (4 - k)

Now we can use the Δ=0 (Δ= b² - 4ac)

Δ = 0 = (-2)² - 4.3.(4-k)

0 = 4 - 48 + 12k

12k = 44

k = 44/12 = 2 . 22 /3. 2.2 = 22/3.2 = 11/3

k = 11/3
