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

23X-4=20 Help please
k0ka [10]
Isolate both terms with "x" to the left side

23x -(4-4) = 20 + 4

23x - 0 = 24

its impossible to divide both ways because of 0 and 23 with 24 cant divide each other

so your answer would be

x = 23 over 24 or 23/24

hope this helps :D.

Determine the value of x. Question 3 options: 1) 2.3 2) 10 3) 2.5 4) 2.11
krok68 [10]

This question is incomplete, the diagram is missing. The complete diagram is uploaded along this answer.

Answer: (3) 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, given that;

BF = 2.3, DF = x, FC = 5, FE = 4.6,

Now

by theorem

BF * FC = DF * FE

so we substitute

2.3 * 5 = x * 4.6

11.5 = 4.6x

x = 11.5 / 4.6

x = 2.5

therefore the value of x is 2.5

Identify the domain of the given function f(x)=1/x+1 +5
Oduvanchick [21]
The domain of a function is the set of values of x for which a value of y exists. In this case, the only way that a value of y would not exist is for a denominator to equal to zero. If this function is f(x) = 1/(x+1) + 5, then we must find the values of x for which the denominator (x+1) = 0, which is at x = -1.
Therefore the domain is all real numbers except x = -1. In interval notation this can be written as (-infinity, -1), (-1, infinity).
