A box with a square base and top is made with a cardboard that costs 0.3 cents per cm² . The base is double layered for reinforc

ement. If the total cost for material is fixed at 3.6 dollars, what is the dimensions of the box that maximizes the volume? Enter the exact values (i.e., no approximation).

Answer:

Length = 10 cm

Width = 10 cm

Height = 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a cardboard with a square base and top = 0.3 cents per cm²

0.3 cents = $0.003 (0.3/100)

Total cost for material = $3.6

The volume of the box = $3.6/$0.003 = 1,200cm³

The formula for volume = length × width × height.

Since the base and top are square, the length and width must have equal sizes.

Let us assume that

length = 10cm

width = 10cm

these will give an area of 100cm².

Volume = length * width * height

= Area * height

= 10 * 10 * height

= 100cm² * height

Therefore, the height will be the volume divided by area

= 1,200cm³/100cm²

= 12cm

Volume = 10 * 10 * 12

= 1,200cm³

Which equation represents a linear function?
Stella [2.4K]
The answer is equation 2. The reasoning is because a linear function is y=mx+b
therefore, y=8x+1 seems to be very close.

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with
LenKa [72]

Answer:

(- 1, 0), (9, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k) = (4, 75), so

y = a(x - 4)² + 75

To find a substitute (0, 27) into the equation

27 = a(- 4)² + 75 , that is

27 = 16a + 75 ( subtract 75 from both sides )

16a = - 48 ( divide both sides by 16 )

a = - 3, thus

y = - 3(x - 4)² + 75 ← equation in vertex form

To obtain the x- intercepts let y = 0

- 3(x - 4)² + 75 = 0 ( subtract 75 from both sides )

- 3(x - 4)² = - 75 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

(x - 4)² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{25} = ± 5

Add 4 to both sides

x = 4 ± 5, hence

x = 4 - 5 = - 1 or x = 4 + 5 = 9

Substitute these values into the equation for corresponding values of y

x = - 1 : y = - 3(- 5)² + 75 = - 75 + 75 = 0 → (- 1, 0)

x = 9 : y = - 3(5)² + 75 = = 75 + 75 = 0 → (9, 0)

The x- intercepts are (- 1, 0), (9, 0)

bezimeni [28]

According to the desired test, the hypothesis are given by:

D) H0: μ=210

Ha: μ ≠ 210

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the population mean is of 210 lbs</u>, that is:

H_0: \mu = 210

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the population mean differs from 210 lbs</u>, that is:

H_a: \mu \neq 210

Hence, the correct option is:

D) H0: μ=210

Ha: μ ≠ 210
