Answer: 11

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

Given information

x = -3

Given expression

2x² + 2x - 1

Substitute values into the expression

=2(-3)² + 2(-3) - 1

Simplify exponents

=2(9) + 2(-3) - 1

Simplify by multiplication

=18 - 6 - 1

Simplify by subtraction

=12 - 1

= $\boxed{11}$

Hope this helps!! :)

All boxes with a square base, an open top, and a volume of 60 ft cubed have a surface area given by S(x)equalsx squared plus

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The absolute minimum of the surface area function on the interval $(0,\infty)$ is $S(2\sqrt[3]{15})=12\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}} \:ft^2$

The dimensions of the box with minimum surface area are: the base edge $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}\:ft$ and the height $h=\sqrt[3]{15} \:ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the surface area of a box $S(x)=x^2+\frac{240}{x}$ where x is the length of the sides of the base.

Our goal is to find the absolute minimum of the the surface area function on the interval $(0,\infty)$ and the dimensions of the box with minimum surface area.

1. To find the absolute minimum you must find the derivative of the surface area ( $S'(x)$ ) and find the critical points of the derivative ( $S'(x)=0$ ).

$\frac{d}{dx} S(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(x^2+\frac{240}{x})\\\\\frac{d}{dx} S(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{240}{x}\right)\\\\S'(x)=2x-\frac{240}{x^2}$

Next,

$2x-\frac{240}{x^2}=0\\2xx^2-\frac{240}{x^2}x^2=0\cdot \:x^2\\2x^3-240=0\\x^3=120$

There is a undefined solution $x=0$ and a real solution $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ . These point divide the number line into two intervals $(0,2\sqrt[3]{15})$ and $(2\sqrt[3]{15}, \infty)$

Evaluate S'(x) at each interval to see if it's positive or negative on that interval.

$\begin{array}{cccc}Interval&x-value&S'(x)&Verdict\\(0,2\sqrt[3]{15}) &2&-56&decreasing\\(2\sqrt[3]{15}, \infty)&6&\frac{16}{3}&increasing \end{array}$

An extremum point would be a point where f(x) is defined and f'(x) changes signs.

We can see from the table that f(x) decreases before $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ , increases after it, and is defined at $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ . So f(x) has a relative minimum point at $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ .

To confirm that this is the point of an absolute minimum we need to find the second derivative of the surface area and show that is positive for $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ .

$\frac{d}{dx} S'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(2x-\frac{240}{x^2})\\\\S''(x) =\frac{d}{dx}\left(2x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{240}{x^2}\right)\\\\S''(x) =2+\frac{480}{x^3}$

and for $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ we get:

$2+\frac{480}{\left(2\sqrt[3]{15}\right)^3}\\\\\frac{480}{\left(2\sqrt[3]{15}\right)^3}=2^2\\\\2+4=6>0$

Therefore S(x) has a minimum at $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$ which is:

$S(2\sqrt[3]{15})=(2\sqrt[3]{15})^2+\frac{240}{2\sqrt[3]{15}} \\\\2^2\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}+2^3\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}\\\\4\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}+8\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}\\\\S(2\sqrt[3]{15})=12\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}} \:ft^2$

2. To find the third dimension of the box with minimum surface area:

We know that the volume is 60 $ft^3$ and the volume of a box with a square base is $V=x^2h$ , we solve for h

$h=\frac{V}{x^2}$

Substituting V = 60 $ft^3$ and $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}$

$h=\frac{60}{(2\sqrt[3]{15})^2}\\\\h=\frac{60}{2^2\cdot \:15^{\frac{2}{3}}}\\\\h=\sqrt[3]{15} \:ft$

The dimension are the base edge $x=2\sqrt[3]{15}\:ft$ and the height $h=\sqrt[3]{15} \:ft$

Show the work please.

In any given right triangle, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to show that it is a right triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2. In a right triangle, a and b would be the shorter legs of the triangle, while c would be the hypotenuse.

So for this problem, you would plug in the numbers in the order that they are listed to see if it is a right triangle.

F would be: 2^2+4^2=7^2. In this case, the sides are not equal.

G would be: 6^2+8^2=10^2. In this case, 100=100. So this is a right triangle.

H would be: 4^2+9^2=12^2. The sides are not equal.

J would be: 5^2+10^2=15^2. The sides are not equal.

Your answer would be G, since the sides are equal. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

1. Last option

2. third option

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Each term is formed by multiplying the previous one by 3

so its 729, 2187

2. Working from right to left we multiply by 5 so its 500.
