A box of volume 180 m3 with square bottom and no top is constructed out of two different materials. The cost of the bottom is $40/m2 and the cost of the sides is $30/m2 . Find the dimensions of the box that minimize total cost. (Let s denote the length of the side of the square bottom of the box and h denote the height of the box.)

Side of square bottom=6.46 m

Height of box=4.31 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the side bottom

Height of box=h

Volume of box=

Volume of box=

Cost of bottom=$40 per square  m

Cost of sides =$30 per square  m

Total cost=

Differentiate w.r.t s

Again,differentiate w.r.t s

Substitute s=6.46

Hence, the cost is minimum at s=6.46

Side of square bottom=6.46 m

Height of box=4.31 m

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
