A=lw=150\\l=w+6\\(w+6)w=150\\w^2+6w=150\\w^2+6w-150=0\\w=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-(6)+-\sqrt{(6)^2-4(1)(-150)}}{2(1)}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{36+600}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-\sqrt{636}}{2}\\w=\frac{-6+-2\sqrt{159}}{2}\\w=-3+-\sqrt{159}>0\\w=-3+\sqrt{159}\\\\l=(-3+\sqrt{159})+6\\l=3+\sqrt{159}

Width = -3 + sqrt(159)
Length = 3 + sqrt(159)

A point moves along the curve y = √ x in such a way that the y-component of the position of the point is increasing at a rate of
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The value of x component changes at a rate of \frac{dx}{dt}=4\sqrt{x} units per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that y=x^{\frac{1}{2}}

Differentiating on both sides with respect to time we get

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d\sqrt{x}}{dt}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}x^{\frac{-1}{2}}(\frac{dx}{dt})\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\frac{dx}{dt}

It is given that \frac{dy}{dt}=2units/sec

Solving for \frac{dx}{dt} we get

\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dy}{dt}\times 2\sqrt{x}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=4\sqrt{x}

write an equation for the line that passes through the point (8,3) and parallel to -4x+8y=23. Use slope-intercept form.
kvasek [131]
(1/2)x+b=y because the equation that given the slope is 1/2 if you leave y alone and take the x’s number

put the point now , 4+b=3 so b is -1

the equation is (1/2)x-1=y
