A billboard designer has decided that a sign should have 4-ft margins at the top and bottom and 1-ft margins on the left and rig

ht sides. Furthermore, the billboard should have a total area of 3600 ft2 (including the margins).
If x denotes the left-right width (in feet) of the billboard, determine the value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard.

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given x is the left-right width of the billboard and y is the height of the billboard. Therefore,

The total area of the billboard, A= x·y

The total printed area of the billboard, A_p=(x-2)(y-8)

Given in problem that the area of the billboard is 3600 ft².

x·y = 3600

y = (3600)/x

Substituting the value of y in the equation of the total printed area of the billboard,

A_p = (x-2)(\dfrac{3600}{x}-8)\\\\A_p = 3600 -8x -\dfrac{7200}{x} + 16\\\\A_p =3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}

Now, the value of x is needed to be minimum, therefore, differentiating the given function,

\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =\dfrac{d}{dx}3616-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x}\\\\\dfrac{d}{dx}A_p =-8 - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}

Equate the differentiated function with 0,

0=-8x - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\8x = - \dfrac{7200}{x^2}\\\\x^3 = 900\\\\x = 9.655 ft.

Hence, the value of x that maximizes the area of the printed region of the billboard is 9.655 ft.

Sara got 88, 90, 75, 78, 100, 54, 90, 100, 45, and 60 on her English tests
Dmitrij [34]
The answer is 78 because when you add all the numbers it equals 780 and you need to divide the end sum by the amount of numbers added to get it. So in the end there were 10 numbers added to equal 780 so 780\10 equals 78

One pretzel has 20 calories. Write an algebraic expression for the total number of calories in n pretzels.
vredina [299]

Answer:

20n

Step-by-step explanation:

One pretzel has 20 calories. Write an algebraic expression for the total number of calories in n pretzels.

1 pretzel = 20 calories

n pretzel = x

Cross Multiply

x × 1 pretzel = n pretzel × 20 calories

x = n pretzel × 20 calories/1 pretzel

x = 20 n

Therefore, an algebraic expression for the total number of calories in n pretzels = 20n
