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

The table below shows two equations:
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

First x=-2

Second x= -11.94

Step-by-step explanation:

1 |2x-3|+5=4

2x+3+5=4

2x+8=4

2x=-4

Divide by 2 for both parties

X = -2

Number 2

215x +31-10=3

215x+21=3

215x= -18

Divide by 215 on both sides

X= - 11.94

A group of 75 math students were asked whether they like algebra and whether they like geometry. A total of 45 students like alg
tatiyna

Let x be the number of students that like both algebra and geometry. Then:

1. 45-x is the number of students that like only algebra;

2. 53-x is the number of students that like only geometry.

You know that 6 students do not like any subject at all and there are 75 students in total. If you add the number of students that like both subjects, the number of students that like only one subject and the number of students that do not like any subject, you get 75. Therefore,

x+45-x+53-x+6=75.

Solve this equation:

104-x=75,

x=104-75,

x=29.

You get that:

  1. 29 students like both subjects;
  2. 45-29=16 students like only algebra;
  3. 53-29=24 students like only geometry;
  4. 24+6=30 students do not like algebra;
  5. 16+6=22 students do not like geometry.

The correct choice is D.
