Here, you are looking at two numbers, x and y, such that |x-y|=18, or, if you say that x is the larger of the two, simply x-y=18. You are looking to minimize the value for xy. The smallest possible numbers are x=9, y = -9. You might initially be tempted to think that you should choose an infinitely negative number and a number 18 more than it; however, the product of two negative numbers is positive, so this would become an infinitely large number. Then, it might be tempting to say 18 and 0, because their product, after all, is zero. But it is possible to get a negative product with a positive and a negative number. The least product is when y = -x, and this will apply for any difference you choose, not just 18.

In sum, it's 9 and –9.

Answer:

The answer would be d(c(x)) = .60x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an equation for d(c(x)), start with the d(y) equation.

d(y) = .80y - 5

Now input the c(x) equation in for y and then solve.

d(c(x)) = .80(.75x) - 5

d(c(x)) = .60x - 5

PLZ HELP! MATH >__<
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Lateral area = surface area <em>not including</em> the bases.

To find this area we just need to add up the area of all of those sides.

The 2 bases are the same area and defined by the length and width.

That leaves the 2 sides defined by length and height,
plus the 2 defined by width and height.

Of course, to find the area of a rectangle, we just multiply together its two dimensions.
length × height = 14 × 6 = 84
width × height = 9 × 6 = 54

2 × 84 + 2 × 54 = 276 m²
