There are many square prisms with volume 125 in. Let w represent the side length of the square base and h represent the height i

n
inches. Then the formula for the volume V, in cubic inches of these prisms is V = w2h and the equation for the surface area S, in
square inches, is S = 2w2 + 4wh.

Answer:

5in by 5in by 5in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are not told wat to find but we can as well find the dimension of the prism that will minimize its surface area.

Given

Volume = 125in³

Formula

V = w²h ..... 1

S = 2w²+4wh ..... 2

w is the side length of the square base

h is the height of the prism

125 = w²h

h = 125/w² ..... 3

Substitute eqn 3 into 2 as shown

S = 2w²+4wh

S = 2w²+4w(125/w²)

S = 2w²+500/w

To minimize the surface area, dS/dw = 0

dS/dw =4w-500/w²

0= 4w-500/w²

Multiply through by w²

0 = 4w³-500

-4w³ = -500

w³ = 500/4

w³ =125

w = cuberoot(125)

w = 5in

Get the height

125 =w²h

125 = 25h

h = 125/25

h = 5in

Hence the dimension of the prism is 5in by 5in by 5in

URGENT A virus is spreading by a factor of 2 every hour from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The function below shows the number of vira
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

0 ≤ x ≤ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The function representing the spread of virus is:

f(x)=20(2)^{x}

Where x represents the number of hours after 1:00 pm

So, at 1:00 pm "x" will be equal to 0. So the domain will start from x = 0

According to the given statement, the virus spreads from 1:00 pm to 11:00 pm. So, the number of hours starting from 1:00 pm and ending on 11:00 pm will be the Domain. 11:00 pm means 10 hours after 1:00 pm i.e. x = 10

So, the domains starts at x = 0 and ends at x = 10. Therefore, the correct answer is 0 ≤ x ≤ 10

15 1/4 acres of land are divided into lots of at least 2/3 acres each. What is the maximum number of lots that can be created
alex41 [277]
We know that
15 1/4 acres-----------> (15*4+1)/4-----> 61/4 acres

[<span>number of lots]=(61/4)/(2/3)----> (61*3)/(4*2)---> 183/8----> 22.875 
22.785-----> 22 7/8

we know that
7/8--------> multiply by 3-------> 21/24
2/3-------> multiply by 8-------> 16/24
21/24-16/24-------> 5/24
so
22 7/8 is equals to--------> 22 21/24----> 22 (16/24+5/24)

t</span><span>he maximum number of lots that can be created are 22+1-----> 23 lots

1. 4y – y and 4 because “4y – y = 4.”
not equivalent because we don't know what y is

2.not equivalent
2x + 7x and 9x because “5 + 3 = 8.”

How do you turn .6 into a percent
yan [13]
Percent means per 100.
Per means divided by.
So you can change a number by multiplying it by 1. Anything over itself is 1 (except zero but that doesn't matter right now)

So multiply .6 by 100/100
So you get 60/100
or 60 per 100
or 60%.

So basically, just multiply by 100 and add the % sign!

The library at a certain university reported that journal prices had increased by 120% over a period of 10 years. The report con
Kipish [7]

Answer:

8% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage increase that a certain increment will give over a period of 10 years.

Let the increment be x

Mathematically from the question, we can obtain that ;

(1+x)^10 = (1+1.2)

(1+x)^10 = 2.2

1+ x = 2.2^1/10

1+x = 1.082

x = 1.082 - 1

x = 0.082

This means that x = 8.2% which is approximately 8%
