An open tank is to be constructed with a square base of side x metres with four rectangular sides. The tank is to have a capacity of 108m^3. Determine the least amount of sheet metal from which the tank can be made?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  roughly 151.81788 square meters of metal

=====================================================

Explanation:

The base is a square with side lengths x, so its area is x*x = x^2

Let h be the height of the tank. We have four identical wall panels that have area of xh square meters. The four walls lead to a lateral surface area of 4xh. Overall, the entire tank requires x^2+4xh square meters of metal. We're ignoring the top since the tank is open.

-----------

Let's set up a volume equation and then isolate h.

volume = length*width*height

108 = x*x*h

108 = x^2*h

x^2*h = 108

h = 108/(x^2)

-----------

Plug that into the expression we found at the end of the first section.

x^2+4xh

x^2+4x(180/(x^2))

x^2+(720/x)

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

Depending on what class you're in, the next step here will vary. If you are in calculus, then use the derivative to determine that the local min happens at approximately (7.11379, 151.81788)

If you're not in calculus, then use your graphing calculator's "min" feature to locate the lowest point on the f(x) = x^2+(720/x) curve.

This lowest point tells us what x must be to make x^2+(720/x) to be as small as possible, where x > 0.

In this context, it means that if the square base has sides approximately 7.11379 meters, then you'll need roughly 151.81788 square meters of metal to form the open tank. This is the least amount of metal required to build such a tank, and that will have a volume of 108 cubic meters.

A group of 12 friends bought tickets for an afternoon concert. However, not all of the friends were able to sit together. Tickets for floor seats cost $15 each, and tickets for tier seats cost $70 each. The total cost of the tickets was $345. How many tickets for tier seats did they purchase

Answers

Answer:

3 tier seats tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the friends that bought floor seats be x and let the friends that bought tier seats be y.

Thus;

x + y = 12 - - - (eq 1)

Floor seats tickets cost $15 each, and tier seats tickets cost $70 each. The total cost of the tickets was $345. Thus;

15x + 70y = 345 - - - (eq 2)

Let's make x the subject in eq (1)

x = 12 - y

Putting this for x in eq 2 gives;

15(12 - y) + 70y = 345

180 - 15y + 70y = 345

55y = 345 - 180

55y = 165

y = 165/55

y = 3

Put 3 for y in x = 12 - y to get;

x = 12 - 3

x = 9

Thus, they purchased 9 floor seats tickets and 3 tier seats tickets

A bag holds 20 red marbles and 40 green ones, for a total of 60 marbles. Ryan picks one marble from the bag at random, hoping to pick a red marble. Which of the following statements is true?
a. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 67%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble decreases.
b. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 33%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble increases.
c. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 33%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble decreases.
d. The probability that Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 67%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability that he will pick a green marble increases.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability Ryan will pick a red marble on the first try is 33%. If he keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, that % will decrease.

The probability of picking a red marble on the first try is 33%, and if Ryan keeps this marble and picks another from the bag, the probability of picking a green marble decreases.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

In this case, there are 20 red marbles out of a total of 60 marbles.

So the probability of picking a red marble on the first try is 20/60, which simplifies to 1/3 or 33%.

If Ryan keeps the red marble and picks another one from the bag, the total number of marbles becomes 59.

The number of green marbles remains the same at 40.

Therefore, the probability of picking a green marble on the second try is 40/59, which is less than the probability of picking a green marble on the first try.

Hence, the probability of picking a red marble on the first try is 33%.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

According to a NY Times article on December 13, 2009, The average selling price of a 32-inch LCD TV was $600. Use the annual CPI values from your text to compute the cost of that same TV in 2010 dollars. Express your answer rounded to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

Your answer should be 647.51

Explanation : the price was 215.949 in December, 2009.

the price was 233.049 in December, 2013.

divide 233.049 by 235.949 and got 1.079185363.

multiply that by 600 and got 647.5112179.

The cost of the TV in 2010 is $647.5

Calculations and Parameters

Given that the complete information contains the Consumer Price Index values:

To find the CPI,

CPI= [tex]\frac{C_t}{C_0}[/tex]

Where C_t= cost of the market basket in the current period

C_0 = cost of the market basket in the base period

In December 2009, the price was 215. 949

In December 2013, the price was 233.049

Hence,

215. 949/233.049

= 1.079185363.

Then we would multiply by the base selling price

[tex]1.079185363 * 600 = 647.5112179.[/tex].

C. The probability of choosing a blue marble after a red marble has been removed is 0.6.

OD. The probability of choosing a blue marble is 0.6, regardless of what else has been chosen.

Answers

Answer:

C. The probability of choosing a blue marble after a red marble has been removed is 0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(B|A)

P(B|A) states the probability of event B happening, given that event A has happened.

In this question:

Event A: First marble is red.

Event B: Second marble is blue.

P(B|A) = 0.6

This means that the probability that the second marble is blue, considering that the first marble was red, is of 0.6, and thus, the correct answer is given by option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the arrow, we must add together the areas of the rectangle and the triangle that make up the arrow.  The rectangle has a length of 10 inches and a width of 4 inches, and the triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 2 inches.  Using this information, we can plug numbers into the following formula:

Area of arrow = area of rectangle + area of triangle

Area of arrow = (10*4)+(1/2*8*2)

Area of arrow = 40 inches squared + 8 inches squared

Area of arrow = 48 inches squared

Therefore, the correct answer is option C, 48 square units (in this case, inches).

Answer:

x = 145°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Measure of the first angle = 50°

Measure of the second angle = 95°

We know,

Sum of 3 angles of a triangle is equals to 180°

∴ The third angle = 180° - (50+95)°

                             = 180° - 145°

                             = 35°

Again,

Straight angle = 180°

∴ x = 180° - 35°

      = 145°

∴x = 145°

Assuming that "blue" or "red" is only a solid blue or red, this is the answer...

2) (3/10) * (3/10) = 9/100 = .09

3) (3/10) * (1/10) = 3/100 = .03

4) (4/10) * (3/10) = 12/100 = .12

if the spotted blue and the solid blue are considered blue then this would be the result ...

1)  (1/10)* (3/10) = .03

2) (4/10) * (3/10) = 12/100 = .12

3) (3/10) * (1/10) = 3/100 = .03
