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.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 8 and y-intercept -8.​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

y = 8x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b is slope-intercept form

m - slope

b - y-intercept

so if you plug in 8 for m and -8 for b you'll get

y = 8(m)x - 8(b)

Hope this helps!!

Find the percent cost of the total spent on each equipment $36, fees $158, transportation $59
Evgen [1.6K]

Percent cost of the total spent on

each equipment = 14.23%,fees=62.45% and transportation = 23.32%.

As given in the question,

Money spent on

Each equipment = $36

Fees = $158

Transportation = $59

Total money spent = $( 36 + 158 + 59)

                             = $253

Percent cost of the total spent on

Each equipment = (36/253) × 100

                          = 14.23%

Fees = (36/253) × 100

        = 62.45%

Transportation =(36/253) × 100

                       = 23.32%

Therefore, percent cost of the total spent on

each equipment = 14.23%,fees=62.45% and transportation = 23.32%.

The polynomial below is perfect square trinomial of the form a^2 -2AB +B^2
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

In order to get this perfect square trinomial, the factored form will be (a - b)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know this because it follows the rule of perfect squares in which the ends are both squares and the middle term is -2 times each term.
