Check the picture below.

\bf \stackrel{area}{A}=length\cdot width\implies A(w)=(1000-2w)w
\\\\\\
\boxed{A(w)=1000w-2w^2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{dA}{dw}=1000-4w\implies 0=1000-4w\implies 4w=1000
\\\\\\
w=\cfrac{1000}{4}\implies \boxed{w=\stackrel{width}{250}}
\\\\\\\
[1000-2(250)]\implies 1000-500\implies \boxed{l=\stackrel{length}{500}}

and if you run a first-derivative test on say x = 249 and x = 251, you'll notice the slope is positive and negative respectively, meaning, is a maximum.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

0.3 or 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

The professors will only seek a smaller publisher if they cannot place the statistics book with a major publisher. If the probability of getting a major publisher is 40% and the probability of getting a smaller publisher is 50%, then the probability that the statistics book would wind up being placed with a smaller publisher is given by:

P=(1-P(major))*P(minor)\\P=(1-0.4)*0.5\\P=0.3

The probability is 0.3 or 30%.

Y = 2x + 5 for x = 1.
Alisiya [41]

Since you know the value of x, you can substitute/plug it into the equation to find the value of y:

y = 2x + 5      Plug in 1 into "x" since x = 1

y = 2(1) + 5

y = 7

When x = 1, y = 7 -->  (x, y) = (1, 7)       Your answer is #4
