A closed rectangle box with a volume of 16 3 ft is made from two kinds of materials. The top and bottom are made of material costing 10 cents/ 2 ft and the sides from material costing 5 cents/ 2 ft . Find the dimensions of the box so that the cost of the materials is minimized. [Hint: The cost of each side is equal to the area of the side times its unit price]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The dimensions of the box are;

2 feet, by 2 feet, by 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The volume of the closed box = 16 ft³

The material with which the top is made = The material with which the bottom is made

The cost of the material with which the top and bottom is made = 10 cents/(ft.²)

The cost of the material with which the side is made = 5 cents/(ft.²)

Let 'x', 'y', and 'z' represent the length, width, and height of the material, we have;

x·y·z = 16...(1)

The total cost of the box = 2×10×x×y + 2×5×x×z + 2×5×y×z

∴ The total cost of the box = 20·x·y + 10·x·z + 10y·z...(2)

From equation (1)

z = 16/(x·y)

Therefore, we have;

20·x·y + 10·x·z + 10y·z. = 20·x·y + 10·x·16/(x·y) + 10y·16/(x·y)

20·x·y + 160/(y) + 160/(x)

Differentiating, we get;

f'(x) = 20·y - 160/x²

f'(y) = 20·x - 160/y²

20·y - 160/x² = 0

y = 8/x²

20·x - 160/y² = 0

x = 8/y²

∴ x = 8/(8/x²)² = x⁴/8

8 = x⁴/x = x³

x = ∛8 = 2

The length, x = 2 feet

y = 8/x² = 8/2² = 2

The width, y = 2 feet

z = 16/(x·y) = 16/(2 × 2) = 4

The height of the box, z = 4 feet

Therefore, the dimensions of the box are 2 feet, by 2 feet, by 4 feet.

What is the answer?

Answers

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to multiply 2 by 7, because m=7. Then you have to multiply7 by -1 because n=-1. So on the top, you will get 14- -7. Now on the bottom, its just 7 + -1, which is 6. When there is a minus sign and a negative sign next to each other, for example 14- -7, you have to add. Next, you had 14 and 7 to get 21. Finally, you have to divide 21/6 and you get 3.5, which as a fraction is 7/2.

The botanist would like to estimate the average weight of mustard seeds grown in a certain type of soil; weight of the seeds is known to follow a normal distribution. The botanist collects a random sample of 10 mustard seeds and finds that the sample average and sample standard deviation are 528 mg and 49 mg respectively. Select from the following the correct 90% confidence interval for the true average weight of mustard seeds grown in Soil Type A using the above sample data.

a. (480.1, 539.9)
b. (525.2, 534.8)
c. (479.4, 540.6)
d. (473.6, 546.4)
e. The necessary assumptions have not been satisfied and the calculation cannot be performed.
f. (469.4, 550.6)

Answers

Answer:

The correct 90% confidence interval for the true average weight of mustard seeds grown in Soil Type A using the above sample data is (499.6, 556.4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

T interval

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.833

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.833\frac{49}{\sqrt{10}} = 28.4[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 528 - 28.4 = 499.6 mg

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 528 + 28.4 = 556.4 mg

The correct 90% confidence interval for the true average weight of mustard seeds grown in Soil Type A using the above sample data is (499.6, 556.4).

IT'S A TIME SENSITIVE EMERGENCY!!!
2. Mai, Clare, and Tyler are hiking from a parking lot to the summit of a mountain. They pass a sign that gives distances. Parking lot: mile Summit: 1 miles Mai says: "We are one third of the way there." Clare says: "We have to go twice as far as we have already gone." Tyler says: "The total hike is three times as long as what we have already gone." Can they all be correct? Explain how you know.​

Answers

Complete question is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Yes, they are all correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we see that the sign is showing;

Parking lot: ¾ miles

Summit: 1½ miles

Summit distance can also be expressed as an improper fraction = 3/2 miles

Now, since they started hiking from the park to the summit, it means that they had moved ¾ mile from the parking lot and had 3/2 miles left to get to the summit.

Thus, total distance from parking lot to summit = ¾ + 3/2 = 9/4 miles

Now, let's analyze each of their statements;

Mai said they are a third of their way there.

They had covered 3/4 mile and the total distance is 9/4 miles.

Thus, fraction of total distance covered is;

9/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1/3.

So, Mai is correct

Clare said they have to go twice as far as they had already gone.

They had covered 3/4 miles.

Therefore, twice this = 2 × 3/4 = 6/4 = 3/2 which is same as the sign distance left to the summit.

Thus, Clare is correct

Tyler said that the total hike is three times as long as what we have already gone.

They had gone 3/4 miles

3 times this = 3 × 3/4 = 9/4 miles.

This tallies with the total distance calculated earlier.

Thus, they are all correct

Find the area and perimeter of the polygons formed by the algebra tiles below: area: y X perimeter: 1 area: perimeter: 2​

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The area of the figure = sum of the area of the individual polygons

The area of the figure = x + 1 + y + 1 + x = 2x + y  + 2

The perimeter of the figure = sum of the length of the sides = 2(1 + (x + 1 + y + 1 + x)) = 2(2x + y + 3) = 4x + 2y + 6

b)

a)

The area of the figure = sum of the area of the individual polygons

The area of the figure = y² + xy + 1 + 1 + 1 = y² + xy + 3

The perimeter of the figure = sum of the length of the sides = (y + 1) + x + y + (y + 1) + y + 1 + 1 + 1 + x + 1 = 4y + 2x + 6
