Answer:

-100

-10, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x.

Then the larger number is x + 20.

The product is x(x + 20).

Now you can write the function

y = x(x + 20)

y = x^2 + 20x

Take the first derivative of y with respect to x.

y' = 2x + 20

Set the first derivative equal to zero to find the x value for the minimum value of the function.

2x + 20 = 0

2x = -20

x = -10

The minimum value of the function occurs at x = -10. -10 is one of the two numbers.

y = x^2 + 20x

For x = -10,

y = (-10)^2 + 20(-10)

y = 100 - 200

y = -100

The minimum value of the product is -100.

x = -10

x + 20 = -10 + 20 = 10

The numbers are -10 and 10.

If you have not learned derivatives yet, then plot the function

y = x^2 + 20x

Now look at the graph and find the minimum y value and the x value at which it occurs.

The minimum y value is -100. That is the minimum product you are looking for.

The x value of the minimum function value is x = -10.

Then x + 20 = -10 + 20 = 10.

The numbers are -10 and 10.

Answer:

p=\frac{181}{301}

Step-by-step explanation:

30100 have dogs, 18100 have cats.

The question simply asks for a union scenario thus the law of AND & OR is applicable.

Therefore:-Those who have both cats and dogs partially have cats.

P(X=both \ cat \ and \ dog)=\frac{18100}{30100}\\p=\frac{181}{301}

Enter the coordinates of the vertices of r(180,0) and t(3,-2) (QRST) will give crown
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

Coordinates of the vertices are,

Q(1, 3), R(3, -3), S(0, -2) and T(-2, 1)

Following the rule of translation by 3 units to the right and 2 units down T_{(3, -2)}

(x, y) → (x+3, y-2)

Q(1, 3) → Q''(4, 1)

R(3, -3) → R"(6, -5)

S(0, -2) → S"(3, -4)

T(-2, 1) → T"(1, -1)

Following rule r_{(180,\text{O})} (rotation of a point by 180° about the origin) will give the image points,

(x, y) → (-x, -y)

Q"(4, 1) → Q'(-4, -1)

R"(6, -5) → R'(-6, 5)

S"(3, -4) → S'(-3, 4)

T"(1, -1) → T'(-1, 1)

Until 2014, the mass of a kilogram was defined as exactly equal to the mass of a special
emmainna [20.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Diameter of cylinder, d = 39.2 mm

Radius, r = 19.6 cm

Height of the cylinder, h = 39.2 mm

It is required to find the surface area of this cylinder. The formula of the surface area of cylinder is given by :

S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2\\\\S=2\pi r(h+r)

Putting all values we get :

S=2\times\dfrac{22}{7}\times19.6\cdot(39.2+19.6)\\\\S=7244.16\ mm^2
