Answer:

A. 4x + h

B. 4x + h = 78

V = x²h

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The length plus girth

X +x+x+x +h

= 4x +h

2. Constraint equation

4x + h = 78 ----(1)

Objective function

Volume = v = x*x*h

V = x²h ----(2)

3. Quantity as function of x

From equation 1 in answer part b

4x+h = 78

We make h subject

h = 78-4x

We put values of h in equation 2 in part b

V = x²h

V = x²(78-4x)

V = 78x²-4x³

To get values of x and h

V = 78x²-4x³

Dv/dx = 0

= 156x - 12x²

156x = 12x²

Divide through by 12x

156x/12x = 12x²/12x

x = 13

h = 78-4x

h = 78 - 4(13)

h = 78 - 52

h = 26 inches

Two decimals that are equivalent to 3.200
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Two or more decimal numbers are said to be equivalent decimals, when they name the same value (or same amount). For example, the decimals: 0.2 = 0.20 = 0.200 = 0.2000 etc. Thus by successive addition of zeros after the decimal part of the number after the decimal point means the same number and hence are equivalent. Therefore, the decimals: 5.3, 5.30, 5.300, 5.3000 etc are all equivalent.

Jennifer began a savings account. She initially put $100 in the account and then
vitfil [10]

Jennifer would have $580 in her account after 24 months

a(x) = 20x + 100

the above function is a linear function

A linear function is a function that has a single variable raised to the power of 1.

100 is the constant

20 increases by m

a(x) is the dependent variable. Its value depends on the amount deposited per month and the number of months

The amount she would have after 24 months =

20(24) + 100 = $580
