A rectangular building with a square front is to be constructed of materials that costs 11 dollars per ft2 for the flat roof, 14

dollars per ft2 for the sides and the back, and 15 dollars per ft2 for the glass front. We will ignore the bottom of the building. If the volume of the building is 5,600 ft3, what dimensions will minimize the cost of materials? (Round your answers to the nearest hundreth such that the dimensions increase from the smallest to the largest.)

Answer:

y = 23.14 ft

x = 15.56 ft

so the dimensions of the building will be = 15.56 ft x 15.56 ft x 23.14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the roof = xy

cost of the roof = 11xy

the area of the sides and back = 2xy + x²

cost of the sides and back = 14(2xy + x²) = 28xy + 14x²

area of the glass front = x²

cost of the glass front = 15x²

minimize:

total cost = 11xy + 28xy + 14x² + 15x² = 39xy + 29x²

total volume = x²y = 5600 ⇒ constraint

39y + 58x = 2λxy

39x = λx2

x²y = 5600

λx = 39 which we replace into the first equation

39y + 58x = 78y

58x = 39y

(58x)²y = 58² · 5600

now we replace 58x by 39y

(39y)²y = 58² · 5600

39² · y³ = 58² · 5600

y³ = (58² · 5600) / 39² = 12,385.53583

y = ∛12,385.53583  = 23.14 ft

x² = 5600/ 23.14 = 242.04

x = 15.56 ft

Research the keywords "shaping by successive approximation" on the Internet. Shaping is a
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of "shaping" is: "a term of behaviur that refers to slowly shaping or educating an organ to execute a particular response by improving any responses that come even close to the desired answer.

Let's take one rat example.

Here, in an experiment, a researcher may use moulding technique to coach a rat to push a lever.

To begin with, the researcher may award the rat if it does any movement in the lever direction at all. The rat will then simply take a step towards to the lever to be rewarded. Likewise, as the rat moves over to the lever and so forth, the rat also gets a reward before just pushing the lever generates reward.

Here the behaviour of the rat was 'formed' in order to make it push the lever. According to the example, any time the rat is awarded, it is praised for a "successive approximation" or for behaving in a manner that is nearer to the desired behaviour or result.

Likewise, algebraic equations are also progression steps and step-by - step progression allows solve the issue.

What is 2,871,000,000 in scientific notation
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

2.871*10^9

Step-by-step explanation:

add a decimal point at the end of the number ( 2,871,000,000.) then count how many places it takes to move the decimal point between the first and second number (2.8) then write the rest of the numbers higher than "0" after, giving you the 2.871

to show that the number written is in scientific notation you add 10 to the power of the amount of times you moved the decimal place. In this case, because the decimal point was moved a total of 9 times, it would be 10 to the 9th power (10^9).

A bag contains 20 slips of paper Individually numbered. If a slip of paper and a letter in the word PENNSYLVANIA is chosen at ra
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Paper = 20 slips

Word: PENNSYLVANIA

Required

Determine P(Multiple of 4 and V)

The sample size of the 20 slips is:

n(S) = 20

The outcomes of multiples of 4 is:

M4= \{4,8,12,16,20\}

n(M4) = 5

So, the probability of multiples of 4 is:

Pr(M4) = \frac{5}{20}

Pr(M4) = \frac{1}{4}

The sample size of PENNSYLVANIA is:

n(S) = 12

The outcome of V is:

n(V) = 1

So, the probability of V is:

P(V) = \frac{1}{12}

So, the required probability is: P(Multiple of 4 and V)

P(M4\ n\ V) = P(M4) * P(V)

P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{12}

P(M4\ n\ V) = \frac{1}{48}

P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083

Express as percentage

P(M4\ n\ V) = 0.02083 * 100\%

P(M4\ n\ V) = 2.083\%

Quadratic equation solve using formula​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

2 , 1\2

Step-by-step explanation:

b² - 4ac = (-5)² - 4*2*2

             = 25 - 16

             = 9

\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} = \sqrt{9} = \sqrt{3*3}=3

x= \dfrac{-[-5] + 3}{2*2} ;  x = \dfrac{-[-5]-3}{2*2}\\\\x =\dfrac{5+3}{4} ; x = \dfrac{5-3}{4}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{4}  ;x = \dfrac{2}{4}\\x = 2 ; x = \dfrac{1}{2}
