2x+1=5x-44 that would be your equation

next start to simplify

subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45

then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45

then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15

Answer:

$PQ=31\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem Q is the midpoint of PR

$PQ=QR$

we have

$PQ=2x+1$ -----> equation A

$QR=5x-44$ -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

$2x+1=5x-44$

solve for x

$5x-2x=1+44$

$3x=45$

$x=15$

Find the value of PQ

$PQ=2x+1$ ------> $PQ=2(15)+1=31\ units$

Terry is buying water. He needs 22 liters. A half-liter of water costs $2.11. A 200 -milliliter container of water costs $1.01.

Dvinal [7]

Answer: Terry should buy the half-liter of water that costs $2.11 because buying 200 litres here is cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Terry is buying water and needs 22 liters. A half-liter of water costs $2.11. Using this information, 22 litres will cost:

= 22 ÷ 1/2 × 2.11

= 22 × 2 × 2.11

= $92.84

Also, A 200 -milliliter container of water costs $1.01. Using this information, 22 litres will cost:

= 22 × 1.01 ÷ 200/1000

= 22 × 1.01 × 1000/200

= 22 × 1.01 × 5

= $111.1

Based on this information, Terry should buy the half-liter of water that costs $2.11 because buying 200 litres here is cheaper.

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola y = 5 − x 2 . What are the dimensions

kherson [118]

Answer:

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

y=5−x^2. What are the dimensions of such a rectangle with the greatest possible area?

Width =

Height =

Width =√10 and Height $= \frac{10}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle which lie on the given parabola y = 5 - x² ........ (1)

are (h,k) and (-h,k).

Hence, the area of the rectangle will be (h + h) × k

Therefore, A = h²k ..... (2).

Now, from equation (1) we can write k = 5 - h² ....... (3)

So, from equation (2), we can write

$A =h^{2} [5-h^{2} ]=5h^{2} -h^{4}$

For, A to be greatest ,

$\frac{dA}{dh} =0 = 10h-4h^{3}$

⇒ $h[10-4h^{2} ]=0$

⇒ $h^{2} =\frac{10}{4} {Since, h≠ 0}$

⇒ $h = ±\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}$

Therefore, from equation (3), k = 5 - h²

⇒ $k=5-\frac{10}{4} =\frac{10}{4}$

Hence,

Width = 2h =√10 and

Height = $k =\frac{10}{4}.$
