Find two positive numbers whose product is 36 and whose sum is a minimum.

Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+36-x = 36).
The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x2

The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.
In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.

If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is given by

d = sqrt( (x2-x1) ^2 + ( y2-y1) ^2)

Since the x values are the same

d = sqrt( ( y2-y1) ^2)

d = sqrt( (( -6 - 10)^2))

d = sqrt((-16) ^2)

d = 16

We can also just find the number of squares between the points since the x value is the same.

10 - -6

10+6

16

PLEASE HELP!!! TRIG, Theres a picture!!

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is option C</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$3( { \tan }^{2} \theta - { \sec }^{2} \theta)$

Using trigonometric identities

That's

$1 + { \tan }^{2} \theta = { \sec }^{2} \theta$

Rewrite the expression

That's

$3({ \tan }^{2} \theta - (1 + { \tan }^{2} \theta)) \\$

Simplify

We have

$3({ \tan }^{2} \theta - 1 - { \tan }^{2} \theta) \\ 3({ \tan }^{2} \theta - { \tan }^{2} \theta - 1)$

So we have

3( - 1)

We have the final answer as

<h2>- 3</h2>

Hope this helps you

(2y+1.6)/0.8=30/2.5<br> Please Help!<br> Solve for Y

galina1969 [7]

y = 4

first note that the right side simplifies to 12, equation can be written

$\frac{2y+1.6}{0.8}$ = 12 ( multiply both sides by 0.8 )

2y + 1.6 = 9.6 ( subtract 1.6 from both sides )

2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 4
