Question 145552: E. Solve the problem.
A rectangular box with volume 468 cubic feet is built with a square base and top. The cost is $1.50 per square foot for the top and the bottom and $2.00 per square foot for the sides. Let x represent the length of a side of the base in feet. Express the cost of the box as a function of x and then graph this function. From the graph find the value of x, to the nearest hundredth of a foot, which will minimize the cost of the box.






F.
If an object is dropped from a tower, then the velocity, V (in feet per second), of the object after t seconds can be obtained by multiplying t by 32 and adding 10 to the result. Find V as a linear function of t, and use this function to evaluate V(3.3), the velocity of the object at time t = 3.3 seconds.
