4=(-8)+3x
+8 +8
12=3x
4=x

or 4.0

This is an equation, you can't write equations as decimals. I think you're asking for x (as a decimal)?

Add 8 to each side: 4+8= 8+(-8)+3x
12=3x
x=4
This is a whole number so it's already in decimal form

Use calculus to find the largest possible area for a rectangular field that can be enclosed with a fence that is 500 meters long

rewona [7]

Let $x$ and $y$ be the sides of the rectangle. The perimeter is given to be 500m, so we are maximizing the area function $A(x,y)=xy$ subject to the constraint $2x+2y=500$ .

From the constraint, we find

$2x+2y=500\implies x+y=250\implies y=250-x$

so we can write the area function independently of $y$ :

$A(x,y)=\hat A(x)=x(250-x)=250x-x^2$

Differentiating and setting equal to zero, we find one critical point:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\hat A(x)}{\mathrm dx}=250-2x=0\implies x=125$

which means $y=250-125=125$ , so in fact the largest area is achieved with a square fence that surrounds an area of $A(125,125)=125^2=15625\text{ m}^2$ .

5x+20=70 <br><br> solve for x

Anarel [89]

5x + 20 = 70
5x = 70 - 20
5x = 50
x = 50/5
x = 10

5(10) + 20 = 70
50 + 20 = 70
70 = 70

hope this helps :)

Multiplication to find ratios that are equivalent to 4:5

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

You can multiply 4 and 5 by a number, and it will be equivalent.

Let's use the number 3.

4 x 3=12

5 x 3=15

So, it will be 12:15

Please help solve this, I’ve tried my best. My answers are a height of 6.7 using 30-60-90 as a last resort, and the glass volume

Neko [114]

Answer:

A) To ensure the correct and exact straight height

B) 15 inches

C) 24.87 in $^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Lets start!

First, it asks us to explain why the two bases must be parallel. In order to measure the correct and exact height, we must be sure that the bases are parallel, or else there would be a range of heights; in order to ensure that you are measuring a straight distance, they must be parallel!

Second, it asks us to identify the height of cone. To do this, we must make a slope! We can see that, for every time we go down 5 inches, we lose 1 inch of our base! Our slope in this situation would be -5. So, lets continue to see how long before the cone reaches its tip, in which the base would be equal to 0. At 5 inches, our base is 2 inches. At 10 inches, our base is 1 inch. At 15 inches, we do not have a base, as it equals 0! So therefore, our cone height is 15 inches.

Third, it asks us to identify the volume of the cup, which is also called a <em>circular truncated cone. </em>To do so, we can use the formula:

₁ $V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (r_{1}^2 + r_{1}r_{2} + r_2^2)h$
