Answer:

width = 1.77845 ft

length = 7.1138 ft

height = 5.691 ft

total cost = $759.09

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = length x width x height

length = 4 width

base of the rectangle = 4 x 1 w = 4w²

72 (volume) = 4w²h

18 = w²h

f(c) = (2 x 4w² x $10) + (2 x wh x $5) + (2 x 4wh x $5)

f(c) = 80w² + 10wh + 40wh

f(c) = 80w² + 50wh

since we need only 1 variable (width), we have to substitute h:

h = 18/w²

f(c) = 80w² + 50w(18/w²) = 80w² + 900/w

f'(c) = 160w + 900/w²

0 = (160w³ + 900)/w²

0 = 160w³ + 900

0 = 20(8w³ + 45)

0 = 8w³ + 45

8w³ = -45

w³ = -45/8

w = ∛-45/8 = -1.77845 and 1.77845

since w cannot be negative, then it must be 1.77845

Identify the leading coefficient in the following polynomial:<br> 10x2 + 3x – 5
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The leading coefficient in the polynomial 10x2 + 3x - 5 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the leading coefficient of the polynomial function, we must first locate the leading term. In a polynomial function, the leading term is the term containing the highest power of x. In this polynomial function, the leading term is 10x2. The leading coefficient of a polynomial function is the coefficient of the leading term, and so the leading coefficient of this polynomial function is 10.

9. Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
timurjin [86]

Answer:

  y -11 = 2(x -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is the x-coefficient: 2. The parallel line will have the same slope.

When you know the slope and a point on the line, it is convenient to use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your line's equation is ...

  y -11 = 2(x -3)

7m2 + 3m + 4m2<br> What is the answer to this
mylen [45]
I’m assuming the 2’s are supposed to be exponents so you’re gonna to combine 7m^2 and 4m^2 to get 11m^2 so you’re answer would be

11m2+3m

You dint know the value of M so you can’t solve it, especially because there’s no equal sign with a number or expression/equation after it.
