Answer:
a) 1/2
b) 250
Step-by-step explanation:
The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for
such that
is maximized. Once we have that
, we can easily find the answer to part b.
Finding the value that maximizes
is the same as finding the value that maximizes
, just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize
. To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.
.
Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of
such that the inner part of the square term is equal to
.
.
So, the answer to part a is
.
We can then plug
into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.
.
So, the answer to part b is
.
And we're done!
Answer:
x intercept = 8
y intercept = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
In the USA, the shoe sizes or men are approximated by the equation 3f-s=24, where f represents the length of the foot in inches and s represents the shoe size.
<u>When we represent this equation using a graph, we mark the independent variable on the x axis and the dependent variable on the y axis.</u>
Here the foot length is the independent variable and the shoe size is the dependent variable. Hence we take foot length on x axis.
To get x intercept put y=0, f =
= 8 inches .
This is the point from which where we start our shoe size.
The y intercept , s = -24.
Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of
the equations y = 4-x and y = 2x + 3 intersect are the solutions of the
equation
4-x = 2x + 3.
Because the point where the graphs intersect is a point that meets both rules (functions) y = 4 - x and y = 2x + 3 meaning that y from y = 4 - x equals y from 2x + 3 and also both x have the same value.
Part B: Make tables to find the solution to 4-x = 2x + 3. Take the integer values of x between -3 and 3.
x values 4 -x 2x + 3
-3 4-(-3)=7 2(-3)+3 =-3
-2 4-(-2)=6 2(-2)+3 =-1
-1 4-(-1)=5 2(-1)+3 = 1
0 4-0=4 2(0)+3 = 3
1 4-1=3 2(1)+3=5
2 4-2=2 2(2)+3 = 7
3 4-3=1 2(3)+3 = 9
The the solution is between x = 0 and x =1
Part C: How can you solve the equation 4-x = 2x + 3 graphically?
Draw in a same graph both functions y= 4 - x and y = 2x +3.
Then read the x-coordinates of the intersection point. That is the solution.
Answer:
B is most likely the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
4 1/2 * 2= 9 so 15-9= 6
Pears weight is 6 Ibs and
4 1/2 *2 would make the most sense
This looks pretty good so the angle of it rotated so it makes it a 160 degrees so the sources
