Answer:

Dimensions of the poster

Width  29.10 cm

Height 38.80 cm

A(min) = 1129.08 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Printed area = 390 cm² = Ap

Lets call x and y dimensions of printed area

x   width

y   height

Then Ap = x*y    and

y = Ap/x    ⇒    y = 390/x

Then   total area of the poster is:

A(t)  = ( x  + 12 ) * ( y + 16 )         and   y = 390/x

A as a function of x

A(x) = ( x  + 12 ) * ( 390/x + 16 )   ⇒  A(x) = 390 + 16x + 4680/x + 192

A(x) = 582 + 16x + 4680/x     (1)

Taking derivatives

A´(x) =  16 - (4680/x²)         ⇒ A´(x)  =  0

[ 16x² -4680] /x² = 0     16x²- 4680 = 0    ⇒     x² = 4680/16

x = 17.10 cm        and    y = 390/x      y = 390/17.10      y = 22.80 cm

A(t) = ( 17.10 + 12 ) * ( 22.80 + 16 )

A(t) = 29.10 * 38.80

A(t) = 1129.08 cm²

If we substitute  in equation (1) the value of x  ( 17.10) we see A(x) > 0

Then there is a minimun at the point x = 17.10

If you are driving 20 meters per second, what would be the equivalent of that in miles per hour?
melomori [17]

\frac{20 meters}{1 second}  \frac{60 seconds}{1 minute}  \frac{60 minutes}{1 hour}

the fractions are set up so that each unit cancels out until its only meters/hour

you can multiply all the numerators together to get 72000 and all the denominators to get 1

72000 meters/1 hour

72000 meters in 1 hour

hope this helped

Fill in the missing numbers to create equivalent ratios.
jasenka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find missing numbers in equivalent ratios is to multiply the means (the first denominator and the second numerator) and multiply the extremes (the first numerator and the second denominator). It sounds really complicated, but it is quite simple =)

2/5 = x/10

The means in this equivalent ration are 5 and x. The extremes are 2 and 10.

5x = 20

Now solve =)

x = 4

That was pretty simple. Let's move on to the next one. Do exactly the same thing here:

4/10 = 6/x

60 = 4x

15 = x

That was pretty simple, too! Keep going!

6/15 = x/25

15x = 150

x = 10

All of these should be equal, so check them by dividing:

2/5 = 0.4

4/10 = 0.4

6/15 = 0.4

10/25 = 0.4

They all check out, so these are your answers: 2/5, 4/10, 6/15, 10/25


I really hope this helps you =)
