The two positive numbers are 36 and 72 which gives a sum equal to 108 and the product of 36 and the square of 72 is a maximum.

Any integer greater than zero is considered a positive number. A positive number can either be written as a number or with the "+" symbol in front of it.

Let us consider the two positive real numbers as x and y. Then, their sum is written as,

x+y=108

Then, y=108-x

And the product is written as,

P=xy²

Substitute value of y in the above equation, we get,

\begin{aligned}P&=x(108-x)^2\\&=x(11664-216x+x^2)\\&=11664x-216x^2+x^3\\&=x^3-216x^2+11664x\end{aligned}

Now, differentiate P with respect to x, and we get,

\begin{aligned}\frac{dP}{dx}&=3x^2-432x+11664\\&=x^2-144x+3888\end{aligned}

Solving the above equation to zero, we get,

\begin{aligned}x^2-144x+3888&=0\\x^2-36x-108x+3888&=0\\x(x-36)-108(x-36)&=0\\(x-108)(x-36)&=0\\x&=\text{108 or 36}\end{aligned}

Substitute values of x in y=108-x, to get values of y.

If we substitute x=108, we get the y value as zero which doesn't give the required solution.

But, if we substitute x=36, we get,

\begin{aligned}y&=108-36\\y&=72\end{aligned}

Thus, the two positive numbers are 36 and 72.

Answer:

Since on July 9, Mifflin Company receives a $ 10,200, 90-day, 6% note from customer Payton Summers as payment on account, to determine what entry should be made on July 9 to record receipt of the note the following calculation must be performed :

90 days = 3 months

6/12 x 3 = 1.5%

10,200 x 1,015 = 10,353

Therefore, a debt cancellation for $ 10,200 must be made in the company's accounting records, plus an interest generation for $ 153, which will be justified by the cash income of $ 10,353.

Elis [28]

Answer:

Perimeter = 8x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is:

p = 4(side length)

on this case:

p = 4(2x-3)

p = 4*2x + 4*-3

p = 8x - 12
