8,916 I think! I'm not sure because I'm in sixth grade, but I just wrote it down on a piece of paper. 1,486 times 6 = 8,916

1,486 ÷ 6 = 247 $\frac{2}{3}$ . That would be an estimate of between 200 and 300.

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 16,384 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.

Reika [66]

Answer:

The dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm , y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cardboard = 16,384 $cm^{3}$

The function that represents the area of the cardboard without a lid is given by

$f (x,y,z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz$ ------ (1)

Volume of the cardboard with sides x, y & z is

$xyz = 16384$

$z = \frac{16384}{xy}$

Put this value of z in equation (1) we get

$f (x,y,z) = xy + 2x(\frac{16384}{xy} ) + 2y(\frac{16384}{xy} )$

$f (x,y,z) = xy + \frac{32768}{y} + 2y(\frac{32768}{x} )$

Differentiate above equation with respect to x & y we get

$f_{x} = y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} }$

$f_{y} = x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} }$

Take $f_{x} = 0 \ and \ f_{y} = 0$

$y - \frac{32768}{x^{2} } = 0$

$y = 32768 \ x^{-2}$ ------ (2)

$x - \frac{32768}{y^{2} } = 0$

$x = 32768 \ y^{-2}$ ------- (3)

By solving equation (2) & (3) we get

$x^{3} = 32768$

x = 31 cm

From equation 2

$y = 32768 \ x^{-2}$

y = 32768 ( $31^{-2}$ )

y = 34 cm

$z = \frac{16384}{xy}$

$z = \frac{16384}{(34)(31)}$

Z = 15.54 cm

Thus the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used is

x = 31 cm , y = 34 cm & Z = 15.54 cm

motikmotik

Answer:

b: 44%

Step-by-step explanation:

From grades 9-10 there are 55 students who like country music.

While there are 125 grades 9-10 students in total.

This gives us a percentage of (55/125) *100% = 44%

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

$y = 1.6 x - 0.032x^2$

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y = - \frac{1.6}{2( - 0.032)} = 25$

and maximum height is

$y = 1.6(25) - 0.032 (25)^2$

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards
