An open box with a square base is to have a volume of 18 ft^3.

Answer:

2.29 ft of side length and 1.14 height

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Volume V = x2h, where x is side of square base and h is hite.

Then surface area S = x2 + 4xh because box is open.

b) From V = x2h = 6 we have h = 6/x2.

Substitude in formula for surface area: S = x2 + 4x·6/x2, S = x2 + 24/x.

We get S as function of one variable x. To get minimum we have to find derivative S' = 2x - 24/x2 = 0, from here 2x3 - 24 = 0, x3 = 12, x = (12)1/3 ≅ 2.29 ft.

Then h = 6/(12)2/3 = (12)1/3/2 ≅ 1.14 ft.

To prove that we have minimum let get second derivative: S'' = 2 + 48/x3, S''(121/3) = 2 + 48/12 = 6 > 0.

And because by second derivative test we have minimum: Smin = (12)2/3 + 4(12)1/3(12)1/3/2 = 3(12)2/3 ≅ 15.72 ft2

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3,6) and (8, 4)?
Dahasolnce [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=4-6/8-3=-2/5

chosing another point (x,y) we have

y-4/x-8= -2/5

y-4=-2/5(x-8)

y= -2/5x+16/5+4

Solve for x using the given diagram
blagie [28]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look a t the picture.

The triangles on the picture are similar.

Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{8x}{10}=\dfrac{4}{5x}              <em>cross multiply</em>

(8x)(5x)=(4)(10)

40x^2=40           <em>divide both sides by 40</em>

x^2=1\to x=\sqrt1\\\\x=1

If G(s) is the inverse of S(g) , and G(2) =16 then s(16) = 2 true or false?
lina2011 [118]
If f(x) is the inverse of g(x) then if f(a)=b then g(b)=a

so if G(s) is the inverse of S(g) then if G(2)=16 then S(16)=2, true

yes, it's true
