The sum of two positive numbers is 12. what two numbers will maximize the product g

Mathematics

son4ous [18]3 years ago
4 0

Given two numbers x and y such that:

x + y = 12   ...    (1)


<span>two numbers will maximize the product g</span>

from  equation (1) 

y = 12 - x  

Using this value of y, we represent xy as

xy = f(x)= x(12 - x)

 f(x) = 12x - x^2

Differentiating the above function:

f'(x) = 12 - 2x

Maximum value of f(x) occurs at point for which f'(x) = 0.

Equating f'(x) to 0 we get:

12 - 2x = 0

 2x =  12

> x = 12/2 = 6

Substituting this value of x in equation (2):

y = 12 - 6 = 6

Therefore, value of xy is maximum when:

x = 6 and y = 6

The maximum value of xy = 6*6 = 36

Jim needs to rent a car. A rental company charges $21.00 per day to rent a car and $0.10 for every mile driven.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

21d+25\leq 115

Max is 4 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inequality is a math statement with more the one solution. The solution has a range of values for which the inequality can be satisfied. It has the same following components as an equation: variables and operations. However, the equal sign is replaced by an inequality sign: ,\leq,\geq.

We start by choosing a variable for an unknown value. Here is it the number of days he rents the car. We choose d.

We know he rents it for $21 pr day or 21d for any number of days. We also know her will drive 250 miles at $0.10 per mile or 0.10(250). We will combine the two into an expression.

21d + 0.10(250)

We know his limit is $115. This means he can rent the car for any number of days until he reaches $115. The charge must be less than or equal to 115.

So we write 21d+0.10(250)\leq 115.

To find the number of days he can rent the car, we solve for d using inverse operations.

21d+0.10(250)\leq 115\\21d+25\leq 115\\21d+25-25\leq 115-25\\21d\leq 90\\\frac{21d}{21} \leq \frac{90}{21}\\d\leq 4.3

This means Jim can rent the car up to 4 days. The 5th day will put the cost over $115.

Hi, Please i need help with this question. Workings would be deeply appreciated .
kupik [55]

Answer:

k = ⅕  

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b, where

m = the slope and

b = the y-intercept

Data:

(3,4)     = a point on the line

(3k,0)   = x-intercept

(0,-5k) = y-intercept

Calculations:

1. Slope

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (-5k - 0)/(0 - 3k) = -5/(-3) = ⁵/₃

This makes the equation

y = ⁵/₃x - 5k

2. k

Insert the value of the known point: (3,4)

4 = (⁵/₃)(3) - 5k

4 = 5 - 5k

-1 = -5k

k = ⅕

The figure below shows your graph passing through (3,4) with intercepts 3k and -5k on the x- and y-axes respectively .

How do I show my work for solving the radius of a circle if the area is 78.5 cm^2
SIZIF [17.4K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  radius = 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of "show your work" is to have to do exactly that. If you know the answer to the problem, you are being requested to show how you got it. If you got it by using a web calculator, then show your input and its result.

__

If you worked the problem yourself, you probably did it by filling in numbers in the equation for the area of a circle:

  A = πr²

  78.5 = 3.14×r²

Dividing both sides by 3.14 gives the square of the radius:

  78.4/3.14 = r² = 25

Taking the positive square root gives the radius:

  r = √25 = 5

The area is in square centimeters, so the radius is in centimeters:

  radius = 5 cm

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1 , 6)  ; (-1 , -5)

There is no change in x-coordinate values.

So, the is parallel to y-axis

x = -1

P(allergic) = 0.15

P(both are allergic to pollen) = (0.15)² = 0.0225 (you can use the binomial probability also)

²C₀(0.15)⁰(0.9775)² = 0.9555

P(at LEAST ONE is allergic) = 1- 0.9555 = 0.0444
