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

UW= 2 and UX=y. Write an expression for WX
Eddi Din [679]
Divide each term by U and simplify. X=y/U and W=2/U. Next, solve the equation for y. Simplify the left side then cancel the common factor of U. 1/1*y/1=y

W=2/U. Multiply 1/1*y/1=y/1 so, y/1=y and W=2/U. Next, divide y/y to get 1 now y=y, still W=2/U. Now, move all terms containing y to the left side.  Since, Y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting y from both sides. Now, y-y=0 still W=2/U.  Next, subtract y from y to get zero and still W=2/U.  Subtract y from y to get zero or 0=0 and W=2/U is your expression since 0=0.


Next: UW=m and WX=y+14  write expression for UX

First, divide each term by W and simplify. U=m/W, WX=y+14. Next, solve the equation for Y. Move y from the right side of the equation to the left side. Still, U=m/W and y=-14+WX.  We must reorder -14 and WX. U=m/w and y=WX-14.
Replace the variable U with m/W in the expression to (m/W)X. Next, simplify (m/W)X. Now, write X and a fraction with denominator 1. Looks like this
fractions are side by side m/W X/1 . Multiply, m/W and X/1 to get mX/W.
mX/W is your final expression for UW=m and WX=y+14 expression for UX.
