You must design a closed rectangular box of width w, length l and height h, whose volume is 504 cm3. The sides of the box cost 3

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Dimensions will be

Length = 7.23 cm

Width = 7.23 cm

Height = 9.64 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A closed box has length = l cm

width of the box = w cm

height of the box = h cm

Volume of the rectangular box = lwh

504 = lwh

$h=\frac{504}{lw}$

Sides which involve length and width and height, cost = 3 cents per cm²

Top and bottom of the box costs = 4 cents per cm²

Cost of the sides $C_{s}$ = 3[2(l + w)h] = 6(l + w)h

$C_{s}$ = 3[2(l + w)h]

$C_{s}=6(l+w)(\frac{504}{lw} )$

Cost of the top and the bottom $C_{(t,p)}$ = 4(2lw) = 8lw

Total cost of the box C = $3024\frac{(l+w)}{lw}$ + 8lw

= $3024[\frac{1}{l}+\frac{1}{w}]$ + 8lw

To minimize the cost of the sides

$\frac{dC}{dl}=3024(-l^{-2}+0)+8w=0$

$\frac{3024}{l^{2}}=8w$

$\frac{378}{l^{2}}=w$ ---------(1)

$\frac{dC}{dw}=3024(-w^{-2})+8l=0$

$\frac{3024}{w^{2}}=8l$

$\frac{378}{w^{2}}=l$

$w^{2}=\frac{378}{l}$ -------(2)

Now place the value of w from equation (1) to equation (2)

$(\frac{378}{l^{2}})^{2}=\frac{378}{l}$

$\frac{(378)^{2} }{l^{4}}=\frac{378}{l}$

l³ = 378

l = ∛378 = 7.23 cm

From equation (2)

$w^{2}=\frac{378}{7.23}$

$w^{2}=52.28$

w = 7.23 cm

As lwh = 504 cm³

(7.23)²h = 504

$h=\frac{504}{(7.23)^{2}}$

h = 9.64 cm

Emails arrive at the server of a company at the rate of an average of 10 per hour. It is assumed that a Poisson process is a goo

fomenos

Answer:

0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

we have given that emails arrives at the server at the rate of 10 per hour means $\frac{10}{60}=0.166$ per minute

we have to find the probability that the time difference between the two email is more than 2 minute

so probability $P\left ( X> 2 \right )=e^{-2\lambda }=e^{-2\times 0.166}=0.7166$
