For real numbers x and y, what is the largest possible value of

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything other than making x - 3 = 0 will make x - 3 have a value. No matter what happens  (x - 3)^2 is positive. There is a minus sign outside the brackets which makes (x - 3)^2 negative.

That means that something is always taken away from 5 unless x = 3. Try and find any value that will make a number bigger than or equal to five that isn't x = 3.

By the way, I'm assuming the question is y = 5 - (x - 3)^2

uppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is $$ cubic meters. Assume that the cost of m
Ainat [17]

Answer:

a = length of the base = 2.172 m

b = width of the base = 1.357 m

c = height = 4.072 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is 12 cubic meters. Assume that the cost of materials for the base is 12 dollars per square meter, and the cost of materials for the sides is 8 dollars per square meter. The height of the box is three times the width of the base. What’s the least amount of money we can spend to build such a container?

lets call a = length of the base

b = width of the base

c = height

V = a.b.c = 12

Area without the top:

Area = ab + 2bc + 2ac

Cost  = 12ab + 8.2bc + 8.2ac

Cost = 12ab + 16bc + 16ac

height = 3.width

c = 3b

Cost = 12ab + 16b.3b + 16a.3b = 12ab + 48b² + 48ab = 48b² + 60ab

abc = 12 → ab.3b = 12 → 3ab² = 12 → ab² = 4 → a = 4/b²

Cost = 48b² + 60ab = 48b² + 60b.4/b² = 48b² + 240/b

C(b) = 48b² + 240/b

C'(b) = 96b - 240/b²

Minimum cost: C'(b) = 0

96b - 240/b² = 0

(96b³ - 240)/b² = 0

96b³ - 240 = 0

96b³ = 240

b³ = 240/96

b³ = 2.5

b = 1.357m

c = 3b = 3*1.357 = 4.072m

a = 4/b² = 2.172m

Describe what is meant by a sampling unit. Explain why the sampling unit for verifying the existence of recorded sales differs f
xeze [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling unit is the population item from which the auditor selects sample items. The major consideration in defining the sampling unit is making it consistent with the objectives of the audit tests. Thus, the definition of the population and the planned audit procedures usually dictate the appropriate sampling unit.

The sampling unit for verifying the existence of recorded sales would be the entries in the sales journal since this is the record the auditor wishes to validate.

The sampling unit for testing the possibility of omitted sales is the shipping document from which sales are recorded because the failure to bill a shipment is the exception condition of interest to the auditor.
