1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.
2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.
3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.
For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.
4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.
The answer to (3x-1)2=5 is x= 7/6
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
Answer:
a. Based on this information, construct a linear demand equation for Yoda vs. Alien T-shirts, and hence obtain the weekly revenue R as a function of the unit price x.
- y = 640 - 80x ⇒ demand equation
- xy = - 80x² + 640x ⇒ weekly revenue
b. The university administration charges the fraternities a weekly fee of $500 for use of the Student Center. Write down the monthly profit P as a function of the unit price x, and hence determine how much the fraternities should charge to obtain the largest possible weekly profit. What is the largest possible weekly profit?
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we must determine the slope = (400 - 240) / (3 - 5) = 160 / -2 = -80
the demand equation:
y - 240 = -80 (x - 5)
y = -80x + 400 + 240
y = 640 - 80x
total weekly revenue:
xy = -80x² + 640x
xy - 500 = -80x² + 640x - 500
max. profit ⇒ x = -640 / (2 x -80) = -640 / -160 = 4
maximum weekly profit = -80($4²) + 640($4) - $500 = -$1,280 + $2,560 - $500 = $780
Answer:
Option B, 1/4 (x - 5) = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
An inequality has a less than, greater than, less than or equal to, and greater than or equal to. <u>But, there are no equal signs allowed in a inequality. That makes it an expression.</u>
Answer: Option B, 1/4 (x - 5) = 13
