Answer:

Maura had 12 cards initially

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Dai's card with D and Maura's card with M.

From the first statement, we understand that:

D = 4 more that twice of M

This is represented as:

D = 4 + 2M

From the second statement, we understand that.

When 8 is subtracted from D, M is increased by 8 and both are equal.

This is represented as:

D - 8 = M + 8

Hence, the equations of the system is:

D = 4 + 2M

D - 8 = M + 8

Substitute 4 + 2M for D in the second equation

4 + 2M - 8 = M + 8

Collect like terms

2M - M = 8 - 4 + 8

M = 12

To solve for D, we simply substitute 12 for M in D = 4 + 2M

D = 4 + 2 * 12

D = 4 + 24

D = 28

Hence, Maura had 12 cards initially

A rectangular tank with a square​ base, an open​ top, and a volume of 8 comma 7888,788 ft cubedft3 is to be constructed of sheet
Vlad [161]

Answer:

  26 ft square by 13 ft high

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank will have minimum surface area when opposite sides have the same total area as the square bottom. That is, their height is half their width. This makes the tank half a cube. Said cube would have a volume of ...

  2·(8788 ft^3) = (26 ft)^3

The square bottom of the tank is 26 ft square, and its height is 13 ft.

_____

<em>Solution using derivatives</em>

If x is the side length of the square bottom, the height is 8788/x^2 and the area is ...

  x^2 + 4x(8788/x^2) = x^2 +35152/x

The derivative of this is zero when area is minimized:

  2x -35152/x^2 = 0

  x^3 = 17576 = 26^3 . . . . . multiply by x^2/2, add 17576

  x = 26

_____

As the attached graph shows, a graphing calculator can also provide the solution.
