Answer:
x = y = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
It would help to know your math course. Do you know any calculus? I'll assume not.
Equations
x + y = 44
Max = xy
Solution
y = 44 - x
Max = x (44 - x) Remove the brackets
Max = 44x - x^2 Use the distributive property to take out - 1 on the right.
Max = - (x^2 - 44x ) Complete the square inside the brackets.
Max = - (x^2 - 44x + (44/2)^2 ) + (44 / 2)^2 . You have to understand this step. What you have done is taken 1/2 the x term and squared it. You are trying to complete the square. You must compensate by adding that amount on the end of the equation. You add because of that minus sign outside the brackets. The number inside will be minus when the brackets are removed.
Max = -(x - 22)^2 + 484
The maximum occurs when x = 22. That's because - (x - 22) becomes 0.
If it is not zero it will be minus and that will subtract from 484
x + y = 44
xy = 484
When you solve this, you find that x = y = 22 If you need more detail, let me know.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Time it takes to burn entire cancle 10 hrs.
the heights from 0 hrs to 4 hrs is at first 10 inches tall but then its 6 inches tall when it hits the 4 hr mark.
it burns one inch every hr
the origional height is 10 inches
Looking at the graph. When x = 1, y = 15.
Meaning that each hours, the gallon of water will be filled in 15 gallons.
So in 10 hours, that'd be
10 × 15 = 150 gallons of water.
Therefore, the answer is 150 gallons of water.
