The base of an aquarium with given volume V is made of slate and the sides are made of glass. If the slate costs seven times as

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

$l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $b = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the volume of the box with V and the dimensions with l, b and h.

The volume (V) is:

$V = l * b * h$

Make h the subject of the formula

$h = \frac{V}{lb}$

The surface area (S) of the aquarium is:

$S = lb + 2(lh + bh)$

Where lb represents the area of the base (i.e. slate):

The cost (C) of the surface area is:

$C = 7 * lb + 1 * 2(lh + bh)$

$C = 7lb + 2(lh + bh)$

$C = 7lb + 2h(l + b)$

Substitute $\frac{V}{lb}$ for h in the above equation

$C = 7lb + 2*\frac{V}{lb}(l + b)$

$C = 7lb + \frac{2V}{lb}(l + b)$

$C = 7lb + \frac{2V}{b} + \frac{2V}{l}$

Differentiate with respect to l and with respect to b

$C_l=7b - \frac{2V}{l^2}$ $=0$

$C_b=7l - \frac{2V}{b^2}$ $=0$

To solve for b and l, we equate both equations and set l to b (to minimize the cost)

$7b - \frac{2V}{l^2}=7l - \frac{2V}{b^2}$

$7l - \frac{2V}{l^2}=7b - \frac{2V}{b^2}$

By comparison:

$l =b$

$C_l=7b - \frac{2V}{l^2}$ $=0$ becomes

$7l - \frac{2V}{l^2}=0$

$7l = \frac{2V}{l^2}$

Cross Multiply

$7l^3 = 2V$

Solve for l

$l^3 = \frac{2V}{7}$

$l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$

Recall that: $l =b$

$b = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$

Also recall that:

$h = \frac{V}{lb}$

$h = \frac{V}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}*\sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}}$

$h = \frac{V}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{4V^2}{49}}}$

Apply law of indices

$h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V^3}{4V^2}}$

$h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V}{4}}$

The dimension that minimizes the cost of material of the aquarium is:

$l = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $b = \sqrt[3]{\frac{2V}{7}}$ $h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{49V}{4}}$

For which function does f decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$f(x) = 0.85^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function that decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is given by:

$f(x) = {(1 - 0.15)}^{x}$

We simplify the parenthesis to get:

$f(x) = 0.85^{x}$

Therefore the decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is

$f(x) = {0.85}^{x}$

The second choice is correct.

A wild animal generally stays at least x mi from the edge of a forest. For a rectangular forest preserve that is 2 mi

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

$Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See Attachment for Complete Question</em>

Given

$Width = 5mi$ --- For the forest

$Length = 2mi$ -- --- For the forest

Required

Determine the area of the habitat

Since the distance between the animal's habitat is x mi on both sides;

The length and width of the habitat is:

$Width = 5 - (x + x)$

$Width = 5 - 2x$

$Height = 2 - (x +x)$

$Height = 2 - 2x$

The area is then calculated as follows;

$Area = Width * Height$

$Area = (5 - 2x) * (2 - 2x)$

Expand

$Area = 5(2 - 2x) -2x(2 - 2x)$

Open Brackets

$Area = 10 - 10x - 4x + 4x^2$

$Area = 10 - 14x + 4x^2$

Reorder

$Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10$

Hence; the required polynomial for the habitat area is:

$Area = 4x^2 - 14x + 10$

Jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham. She pays a total of $30, and the turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the

marissa [1.9K]

Given

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham & pays a total of $30, turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham.

find out the combined cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham

To proof

As given in the question

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham

total pay by jacinta = $30

let us assume that the price of the ham = x

as given in the question

turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham

turkey costs becomes = x - 1.50

then the equation becomes

30 = 4 (x - 1.50) + 2x

30 = 4x + 2x - 6

36 = 6x

x = 6

thus

ham cost per pound = $6

turkey cost per pound = 6 - 1.50

= $ 4.5

Now find out

cost of 1 pound of turkey + 1 pound of ham = $ 6 + $ 4.5

= $ 10.5

Hence proved
