Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope.
Given line y = - 3x + 78, slope, m₁ = -3
<em><u>To find the line perpendicular to the given line.</u></em>
The lines are perpendicular to each other if the product of their slopes = - 1
That is,
So the slope of new line is
Alright here's the breakdown:
your trying to find how many miles per day
so
take the miles (290) and the days it took (5)
and
divide the miles by the days it took (290/5)
and the answer is
58 mi. per day
Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.
2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x
A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150
So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.
A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625
So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.
