A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 4 ft 3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2ft by 2ft by 1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface of the cardboard box is expressed as S = 2LW + 2WH + 2LH where L is the length of the box, W is the width and H is the height of the box. Since the cardboard box is without a lid, then the total surface area will be expressed as;

S  = lw+2wh+2lh ... 1

Given the volume V = lwh = 4ft³ ... 2

From equation 2;

h = 4/lw

Substituting into r[equation 1;

S = lw + 2w(4/lw)+ 2l(4/lw)

S = lw+8/l+8/w

Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to w and l will give;

dS/dw = l + (-8w⁻²)

dS/dw = l - 8/w²

Similarly,

dS/dl = w  + (-8l⁻²)

dS/dw = w - 8/l²

At turning point, ds/dw = 0 and ds/dl = 0

l - 8/w² = 0 and w - 8/l² = 0

l = 8/w²  and w =8/l²

l = 8/(8/l² )²

l = 8/(64/I⁴)

l = 8*l⁴/64

l = l⁴/8

8l = l⁴

l³ = 8

l = ∛8

l = 2

Hence the length of the box is 2 feet

Substituting l = 2 into the function l = 8/w² to get the eidth w

2 = 8/w²

1 = 4/w²

w² = 4

w = 2 ft

width of the cardboard is 2 ft

Since Volume = lwh

4 = 2(2)h

4 = 4h

h = 1 ft

Height of the cardboard is 1 ft

The dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard is 2ft by 2ft by 1 ft

Find the missing side or angle.
Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

b=2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

using sine rule,,,

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this problem, we need the missing angle A. From there, we can use the law of sines to compute length of b.

So the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180. With that in mind, we can make an equation to fine the measure of angle A.

53 + 80 + A = 180

133 + A = 180

A = 47

Now that we have the angle of A, we can use the law of sines to fine the length of b.

b / sin(B) = a / sin(A)

b = sin(B) * a / sin(A)

b = sin(80) * 2 / sin(47)

b = 2.693

Now round that to the nearest tenth to get

b = 2.7

The probability density function for random variable W is given as follows: Let x be the 100pth percentile of W and y be the 100(1 – p)th percentile of W, where 0

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability density function (pdf) is used for continuous random variables. That is why p is between 0 and 1 (the two extremes - 0 and 1 - exclusive).

X = 100pth percentile of W

Y = 100(1-p)th percentile of W

Expressing Y as a function of X;

Y = 100(1-p)th = 100th - 100pth

Recall that 100pth is same as X, so substitute;

Y = 100th - X

where 100th = hundredth percentile of W and X = 100pth percentile of W  

Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?

Answers

Answer:

  subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

She wrote ...

  x - 56 = 230

  x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*

  x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification

Correctly done, the third line would be ...

  x -112 = 174

This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...

  x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality

  x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides

__

There were two errors:

  1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding

  2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112

We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.

_____

* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.

Answer:

D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

ASAP Which graph has a correlation coefficient, r, closest to 0.75?

Answers

Answer:

C. Graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scatter plot, a positive correlation coefficient suggests that as one variable increases the other increases as well, or as one decreases, the other decreases.

Also, the more clustered the data points are along the line of best fit, the higher the value of the coefficient, whether positive or negative.

Graph C shows a positive correlation because as the variable on the x-axis increases, the variable on the y-axis also increases. The data points are more clustered along the line if best fit, if we draw one. This suggest a positive correlation coefficient (r) as strong as 0.75.

Graph C has a correlation coefficient, r, that is closer to 0.75.

is this a function {(-2, 6), (-3, 7), (-4, 8), (-3, 10)}

Answers

No, that is not a function.

To be a function, each different input (x) needs a different output (y)

In the given function there are two -3’s as inputs and they have different y values, so it can’t be a function.

Answer: no

Step-by-step explanation: To determine if a relation is a function, take a look at the x–coordinate of each ordered pair. If the x–coordinate is different in each ordered pair, then the relation is a function.

Note that the only exception to this would be that if the x-coordinate pairs up with the same y-coordinate in a relation more than once, it's still classified ad a function.

Ask yourself, do any of the ordered pairs

in this relation have the same x-coordinate?

Well by looking at this relation, we can see that two

of the ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate.

In this case, the x-coordinate of 3 appears twice.

So no, this relation is not a function.

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start with 12 pounds

On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.

On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.

On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15

On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.

On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.

On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.

On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gina, Sam, and Robby all rented movies from the same video store. They each rented some dramas, comedies, and documentaries. Gina rented 11 movies total. Sam rented twice as many dramas, three times as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina. He rented 27 movies total. If Robby rented 19 movies total with the same number of dramas, twice as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina, how many movies of each type did Gina rent?

Answers

Hi there! :)

Answer:

Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we will need to set up a system of equations:

Let x = # of dramas, y = # of comedies, and z = # of documentaries:

Write equations to represent each person:

Gina:

x + y + z = 11

Sam:

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

Robby:

x + 2y + 2z = 19

Write the system:

x + y + z = 11

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

x + 2y + 2z = 19

Begin by subtracting the third equation from the second:

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

x + 2y + 2z = 19

-----------------------

x + y = 8

If x + y = 8, plug this into the first equation:

(8) + z = 11

z = 11 - 8

z = 3

We found the # of documentaries Gina rented, now we must solve for the other variables:

Subtract the top equation from the third. Substitute in the value of z we solved for:

x + 2y + 2(3) = 19

x + y + (3) = 11

-------------------------

y + 3 = 8

y = 5

Substitute in the values for y and z to solve for x:

x + 5 + 3 = 11

x + 8 = 11

x = 11 - 8

x = 3.

Therefore, Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.

Answer:

B- x + y + z = 11

2x + 3y + 2z = 27

x + 2y + 2z = 19

6                  9                     11                      12.5                14

The interquartile range = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Consider the following ordered data. 6 9 9 10 11 11 12 13 14

From the above dataset, the highest value = 14  and the lowest value = 6

The median is the middle number = 11

For Q1, i.e the median  of the lower half

we have the ordered data = 6, 9, 9, 10

here , we have to values as the middle number , n order to determine the median, the mean will be the mean average of the two middle numbers.

i.e

median = [tex]\dfrac{9+9}{2}[/tex]

median = [tex]\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]

median = 9

Q3, i.e median of the upper half

we have the ordered data = 11 12 13 14

The same use case is applicable here.

Median = [tex]\dfrac{12+13}{2}[/tex]

Median = [tex]\dfrac{25}{2}[/tex]

Median = 12.5

Low             Q1                Median              Q3                 High

6                  9                     11                      12.5                14

The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

The interquartile range =  12.5 - 9

The interquartile range = 3.5

An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 9 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 9 years is approximated by
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3,
where t is the time (in years) and h is the height (in centimeters). The seedlings are 10 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0).
(a) Find the height after t years.
h(t) =
(b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold?
cm

Answers

Answer:

(a) After t years, the height is

18t² + 3t + 10

(b) The shrubs are847 cm tall when they are sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given growth rate

dh/dt = 1.8t + 3

dh = (18t + 3)dt

Integrating this, we have

h = 18t² + 3t + C

When t = 0, h = 10cm

Then

10 = C

So

(a) h = 18t² + 3t + 10

(b) Because they are sold after every 9 years, then at t = 9

h = 18(9)² + 3(9) + 10

= 810 + 27 + 10

= 847 cm

L = average Celsius temperature last sunday

L = 8% higher than T

L = T + (8% of T)

L = T + 0.08T

L = 1.00T + 0.08T
