There are many square prisms with volume 125 in. Let w represent the side length of the square base and h represent the height i

n
inches. Then the formula for the volume V, in cubic inches of these prisms is V = w2h and the equation for the surface area S, in
square inches, is S = 2w2 + 4wh.

Answer:

5in by 5in by 5in

Step-by-step explanation:

We are not told wat to find but we can as well find the dimension of the prism that will minimize its surface area.

Given

Volume = 125in³

Formula

V = w²h ..... 1

S = 2w²+4wh ..... 2

w is the side length of the square base

h is the height of the prism

125 = w²h

h = 125/w² ..... 3

Substitute eqn 3 into 2 as shown

S = 2w²+4wh

S = 2w²+4w(125/w²)

S = 2w²+500/w

To minimize the surface area, dS/dw = 0

dS/dw =4w-500/w²

0= 4w-500/w²

Multiply through by w²

0 = 4w³-500

-4w³ = -500

w³ = 500/4

w³ =125

w = cuberoot(125)

w = 5in

Get the height

125 =w²h

125 = 25h

h = 125/25

h = 5in

Hence the dimension of the prism is 5in by 5in by 5in

You drive 30 miles due east in a half hour. Then, you turn left and drive 30 miles north in 1 hour. What are your average speed
garri49 [273]
Original position: P1=(0,0)
<span>You drive 30 miles due east in a half hour: x=+30 miles, t1=1/2 hour=0.5 hours
</span><span>Then, you turn left and drive 30 miles north in 1 hour: y=+30 miles, t2=1 hour
Rectangular coordinates of final position: P2=(x,y)→P2=(30,30)
Total time: t=t1+t2=0.5 hours+1 hour→t=1.5 hours

Average speed: S ave=d/t
Total distance: d=x+y=30 miles+30 miles→d=60 miles
S ave = 60 miles / (1.5 hours)
S ave = 40 miles/hour

Velocity is a vector, the magnitude of this vector is the magnitude of the vector of change of position dividing by the total time t
The vector of change of position: s=P1-P2=(30,30)-(0,0)=(30-0,30-0)→
s=(30,30) 
Magnitude of vector s=sqrt[30^2+30^2]=sqrt[30^2*2]=sqrt[30^2]*sqrt(2)
Magnitude of vector s=30*sqrt(2) miles

Magnitude of velocity vector = Magnitud of vector s / t
Magnitude of velocity vector = [30*sqrt(2) miles] / (1.5 hours)
Magnitude of velocity vector = 20*sqrt(2) miles / hour
Magnitude of velocity vector=20*1.4142 miles / hour
Magnitude of velocity vector=28.284 miles/hour

Polar coordinates of your position=(r, theta)
r=Magnitude of vector s=30*sqrt(2) miles
theta=tan^(-1) (y/x) = tan^(-1) [(30 miles) / (30 miles)]
theta=tan^(-1) (1)→theta=45°=Pi/4 (Pi=3.1416)
Polar coordinates of your position: ( 30*sqrt(2) miles, 45°)
Polar coordinate of your position: ( 30*sqrt(2) miles, Pi/4 )

Answers:
Average speed: 40 miles / hour
Velocity: 20*sqrt(2) miles / hour = 28.284 miles / hour
Rectangular coordinates of your position = (30,30)
Polar coordinates of your position=(30*sqrt(2) miles,45°)
Polar coordinates of your position=(30*sqrt(2) miles,Pi/4)</span>

An insurance company reported that, on average, claims for a certain medical procedure are $942. An independent organization con
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

An insurance company reported that, on average claims for a certain medical procedure are $942. an independent organization constructed a 95% confidence interval of ($930, $950) for the average amount claimed for the particular medical procedure. what conclusion best evaluates the truthfulness of the number reported by the insurance company?

a) with 95% certainty, the average claim for this medical procedure is $942.

b) with 95% certainty, the average claim for this medical procedure is not $942.

c) the confidence interval is consistent with an average claim of $942 for this medical procedure

Solution:

Confidence interval is used to express how confident we are that the population parameter that we are looking for is contained in a range of given values. Looking at the given confident interval, the lower limit is $930 and the upper limit is $950. We can see that the population mean, $942 lies within these values. The correct option would be

c) the confidence interval is consistent with an average claim of $942 for this medical procedure

The coordinates of the vertices of △PQR are P(1, 4) , Q(2, 2) , and R(−2, 1) . The coordinates of the vertices of △P′Q′R′ are P′
sveticcg [70]

ANSWER


The correct  answer is B


<u>EXPLANATION</u>

If we analyse the coordinates carefully, you realize there is a mapping of

(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)

This is a reflection in the y-axis.


Since the transformation is a reflection, the shape is preserved. Therefore, the image triangle P'Q'R' of triangle

PQR are congruent.
