The perimeter is:
P = 2x + 2y = 80
The area is:
A = x * y
The area as a function of a variable is:
A (x) = x * (40-x)
Rewriting we have:
A (x) = 40x-x ^ 2
We derive the function:
A '(x) = 40-2x
We equal zero and clear x:
40-2x = 0
2x = 40
x = 40/2
x = 20 feet
The other dimension is:
y = 40 - x
y = 40 - 20
y = 20 feet
The area will be:
A = x * y
A = 20 * 20
A = 400 feet ^ 2
Answer:
The dimensions are:
x = 20 feet
y = 20 feet
The area is:
A = 400 feet ^ 2
Answer:
a line parallel has the same slope and different y-intercept, and the slope of the perpendicular line would be -3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y = 4
5y = -3x + 4
y = -3/5x + 4/5
A. Its a square. This means each side times the side would give us the area (s^2)
4/3^2 or 1.3333 x 1.33333 = 16 / 9 area.
B. Really just pick any numbers you want.
16 yards long and 1/9 wide.
As long as they multiply to 16/9
Answer:
Numer 1
A) (-5, -4), (-4, -3), (-3, -2), (-2, -1) Is a function
Number 2
C) (-5, -1), (-2, -1), (1, -1), (4, -1) is a function
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
