Answer: 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since we're asked to find the length of the median, let's use our formula for the area of a trapezoid that involves the median which is shown below.

Area = median · height

We know that the area is 144 and the height is 9 so we can set up the equation 144 = M · 12. Now to solve for <em>m</em>, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 and we find that 12 = M.

So the length of the median of the trapezoid is 12 inches.

Given a rectangle with a perimeter of 24 inches, why dimensions maximize the area?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The dimensions are 6 by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculus answer:

2x +2y= 24

xy= A

2x=24-2y

x=12-y

(12-y)(y)= 12y- y^2

the Derivative is = 12-2y

Then set that equal to zero 0=12-2y

-12=-2y

y=6

Confirm that 6 is a maximum by using a wiggle graph

wiggle graph -∞<---inc--6---dec-->∞

6 is a maximum

plug into original equation

2x + 2(6)=24

2x+12=24

2x=12

x=6

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

y=6

x=6

100 points!!! Please full out all of these ASAP!!! Please show work!!!

Answer:

look below

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2 (x + 3)^2 - 2

Geometric figure:  parabola

Alternate forms:

y = 2 (x + 2) (x + 4)

y = 2 (x^2 + 6 x + 8)

-2 x^2 - 12 x + y - 16 = 0

Expanded form:

y = 2 x^2 + 12 x + 16

Roots:

x = -4

x = -2

<u>Properties as a real function: </u>

Domain - R (all real numbers)

Range - {y element R : y>=-2}

Partial derivatives:

d/dx(2 (x + 3)^2 - 2) = 4 (x + 3)

d/dy(2 (x + 3)^2 - 2) = 0

Implicit derivatives:

(dx(y))/(dy) = 1/(12 + 4 x)

(dy(x))/(dx) = 4 (3 + x)

Global minimum:

min{2 (x + 3)^2 - 2} = -2 at x = -3
