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

In a multiple regression analysis what would likely be the culprit of a dramatic increase in the P-value of one of the variables
makvit [3.9K]
This can happen if you add another independent variable to your regression model that is strongly correlated to some other variable already in the model.
This is called multicollinearity. 
If there is a high correlation between your independent variables can lead to problems.
<span>It can lead to increased variance of the coefficient estimates and make the estimates very sensitive to minor changes in the model.</span>

If x 2 = x + 1, find x 3 , giving your answer in the form ax + b.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

{x}^{2}  = x + 1 \\ x =  {x}^{2}  - 1 \\  {x}^{3}  =  { ({x}^{2}  - 1)}^{3}  \\  = (x - 1) {}^{3} (x + 1) {}^{3}

6 people can sit together at 1 rectangular table l. If 2 tables aee placed together, 10 people can sit together. 14 people can s
lesya [120]

Solution:

we are given that

6 people can sit together at 1 rectangular table.

2 tables are placed together, 10 people can sit together.

14 people can sit if three tables are put together.

It mean we get a sequence

6,10,14..........

So its making an arithmetic progression, where

First term=a=6

Common difference=d=10-6=4

Number of terms=number of table=100

As we know the nth term is given by the formula

t_n=a+(n-1)d\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{Substitute the values}\\&#10;\\&#10;t_{100}=6+(100-1)\times4\\&#10;\\&#10;t_{100}=6+99 \times4\\&#10;\\&#10;t_{100}=6+396=402\\

Hence 402 people can sit.
