AB=1.5 m = 150 cm
BC=AB-AC
BC=150-4.4=145.6 cm = 1.456 m

bearing in mind that AB is 1.5 Meters, and that there are 100 cm in 1 meter, therefore 150 cm in 1.5 m, so AB = 150 cm.

$\bf \underset{\leftarrow ~~\stackrel{1.5~m}{150~cm}~~\to }{\boxed{A}\stackrel{4.4~cm}{\rule[0.35em]{5em}{0.25pt}}C\stackrel{BC}{\rule[0.35em]{23em}{0.25pt}\boxed{B}}} \\\\\\ AB=AC+BC\implies \stackrel{AB}{150}=\stackrel{AC}{4.4}+BC\implies 150-4.4=BC\implies \stackrel{cm}{145.6}=BC$

Find the dimensions of the box with volume 1728 cm3 that has minimal surface area. (Let x, y, and z be the dimensions of the box

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The dimensions of the box are 12 cm , 12 cm , 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x , y and z be the dimensions of box

Volume of box =xyz=1728

$z=\frac{1728}{xy}$

Surface area of box = $2xy+2yz+2xz=2xy+2y(\frac{1728}{xy})+2x(\frac{1728}{xy})$

Let $f(x,y)=2xy+2(\frac{1728}{x})+2(\frac{1728}{y})$

To get minimal surface area

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=0$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=0$

$\frac{\partial(2xy+2(\frac{1728}{x})+2(\frac{1728}{y}))}{\partial x}=0$

$2y-2(\frac{1728}{x^2})=0$

$y=\frac{1728}{x^2}$ ----1

$\frac{\partial(2xy+2(\frac{1728}{x})+2(\frac{1728}{y}))}{\partial y}=0$

$2x-2(\frac{1728}{y^2})=0\\x=\frac{1728}{y^2} \\y^2=\frac{1728}{x}$

Using 1

$(\frac{1728}{x^2} )^2=\frac{1728}{x}$

x=0 and $x^3=1728$

Side can never be 0

So, $x^3=1728$

x=12

$y=\frac{1728}{x^2} \\y=\frac{1728}{12^2}$

y=12

$z=\frac{1728}{xy}\\z=\frac{1728}{(12)(12)}$

z=12

The dimensions of the box are 12 cm , 12 cm , 12 cm

Which is a zero of the quadratic function f(x) = 16x2 32x − 9?

tankabanditka [31]

A zero of a function is the value of x for which f(x) = 0
f(x) = 16x^2 + 32x - 9 = 0
16x^2 - 4x + 36x - 9 = 0
(16x^2 - 4x) + (36x - 9) = 0
4x(4x - 1) + 9(4x - 1) = 0
(4x + 9)(4x - 1) = 0
4x + 9 = 0 and 4x - 1 = 0
4x = -9 and 4x = 1
x = -9/4 and x = 1/4
