Question

Nice's central library building is considered one of the most original in the world, as it is a mix between a sculpture and a work of habitable architecture. It was called La Tête Carrée and is made up of part of a bust that supports a cube divided into five floors. It is known that the building has a total height of approximately 30 meters. It admits that the cubic part of the sculpture is parallel to the floor and has a volume of 2744 meters3 Calculate, in meters, the height of the bust that supports the cube. Displays all the calculations you made.

Let the height of the bust be represented by 'h' meters.

The volume of a cube is given by the formula V = s^3, where 's' is the length of the side of the cube.
In this case, we are given that the volume of the cube is 2744 meters^3.
So, we can write the equation as 2744 = s^3.

We also know that the total height of the building is 30 meters. The height of the bust (h) plus the height of the cube (s) should add up to the total height.
So, we can write another equation as h + s = 30.

Now, we can solve these two equations to find the values of 'h' and 's'.

From the equation 2744 = s^3, we take the cube root on both sides to get:
s = ∛2744.

Using a calculator, we find that the cube root of 2744 is 14.

Now, substituting the value of 's' in the equation h + s = 30, we have:
h + 14 = 30.

Subtracting 14 from both sides of the equation, we get:
h = 30 - 14 = 16.

Therefore, the height of the bust that supports the cube is 16 meters.

Answer: The height of the bust is 16 meters.

The Humane Society has asked for our help again this week. Currently they are charging $50 for an adoption fee. Unfortunately they just pulled this number out of the air and do not know why they are charging this amount. They would like to charge an amount that covers all the adoption costs – both the variable costs for adoptions as well as the fixed cost for the kennel portion of the Humane Shelter operations. We can help them by doing a breakeven analysis. During a client meeting we gathered these facts. There are 2 part-time employees that each earn $1000 per month. The utilities for the kennel area (water, electricity) are $200 per month. The average food cost for animals in the kennel is $800 per month. In addition, each animal that is adopted receives a rabies vaccination that costs $4 and is micro-chipped that costs $6. At the current cost of $50, how many animals must be adopted to break-even? What would break-even be at a $60 adoption fee? What would break-even be if the fee were lowered to $40? The newspaper has suggested that the Humane Society advertise to increase pet adoptions. The package that they have recommended costs $1000 for a very small ad run every day for a month. If the Humane Society does this extra advertising, how will it affect breakeven? Based on what you have learned about elasticity, what price do you recommend for the adoption fee?
