A) W * L = 72
B) L = W + 6
A) W = 72 / L Substituting this into B
B) L = 72 / L + 6 Multiplying both sides by "L"
B) L^2 = 72 + 6L
B) L^2 -6L -72 = 0
L = 12
Width = 6

Let the width be x
then length = x + 6

area = x(x+6)
72 = x^2 + 6x
x^2 + 6x - 72=0
x^2 + 12x-6x -72 = 0
x(x + 12 ) - 6 ( x + 12) = 0
(x-6) (x+12) = 0

width = 6
length = 6+6 = 12

A television sells for $850. Instead of paying the total amount at the time of the purchase, the same television can be bought b

Answer:

700$ will be saved :)

Step-by-step explanation:

So! We have 850$ right away vs 150 + 100(14). Let's see and calculate.

100 * 14 = 1400. 150 + 1400 = 1550.

Now, let's subtract 1550 and 850.

We get...

700$

A rectangular poster is to contain 722 square inches of print. the margins at the top and bottom of the poster are to be 2 inche

Delvig [45]

Let
x ----------> the height of the whole poster
y ----------> the width of the whole poster

We need to minimize the area A=x*y

we know that
(x-4)*(y-2)=722
(y-2)=722/(x-4)
(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

so
A(x)=x*y--------->A(x)=x*{[722/(x-4)]+2}
Need to minimize this function over x > 4

find the derivative------> A1 (x)
A1(x)=2*[8x²-8x-1428]/[(x-4)²]

for A1(x)=0
8x²-8x-1428=0
using a graph tool
gives x=13.87 in

(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

y=[2x+714]/[x-4]-----> y=[2*13.87+714]/[13.87-4]-----> y=75.15 in

the answer is
the dimensions of the poster will be
the height of the whole poster is 13.87 in
the width of the whole poster is 75.15 in
