Both distances 3966 and 4746 were done in 6 hours, so the speeds are:
speed against wind = 3966/6=661 km/h (difference of airplane and wind)
speed with wind = 4746/6=791 km/h (sum of airplane and wind)
The speed of airplane is greater than that of the wind, so this is a sum and difference problem.
Greater speed (plane) = (sum+difference)/2=(791+661)/2=726 km/h
Lesser speed (wind) = (sum-difference)/2 = (791-661)/2 = 65 km/h
Find the slope(s) twice, first the slope of the line connecting (2,4) and (4,8) and then the slope of the line connecting (2,4) and (8,12). If you get different slopes, then it'd be safe for you to conclude that the points do not lie on the same line.
50:40=x:35
5/4=x/35
times both sides by (4*35)
5*35=4x
175=4x
divide both sides by 4
43.75=x
costs $43.75
There are two of them.
I don't know a mechanical way to 'solve' for them.
One can be found by trial and error:
x=0 . . . . . 2^0 = 1 . . . . . 4(0) = 0 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=1 . . . . . 2^1 = 2 . . . . . 4(1) = 4 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=2 . . . . . 2^2 = 4 . . . . . 4(2) = 8 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=3 . . . . . 2^3 = 8 . . . . . 4(3) = 12 . . . . no, that doesn't work
<em>x=4</em> . . . . . 2^4 = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . 4(4) = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . Yes ! That works ! yay !
For the other one, I constructed tables of values for 2^x and (4x)
in a spread sheet, then graphed them, and looked for the point
where the graphs of the two expressions cross.
The point is near, but not exactly, <em>x = 0.30990693...
</em>If there's a way to find an analytical expression for the value, it must involve
some esoteric kind of math operations that I didn't learn in high school or
engineering school, and which has thus far eluded me during my lengthy
residency in the college of hard knocks.<em> </em> If anybody out there has it, I'm
waiting with all ears.<em>

Answer:
is closest to the total surface area of the box
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The surface area of the box is equal to

where
B is the area of the base
P is the perimeter of the base
H is the height of the box
we have
