Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of this triangle is 3x+1 and the width is x.
The perimeter P is:
P= 2(3x+1)+2*x
P= 6x+2+2x
P= 8x+2
Let's evaluate it when x=1/2
●1/2 =0.5
P= 8*0.5+2 =4+2= 6 ft
●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
The area A is:
A = (3x+1)*x
A= 3x^2 +x
Let's evaluate it when x=0.5 feet
A= 3*0.5^2 +0.5
A= 3*0.25+0.5
A= 0.75 +0.5
A= 1.25 ft^2
The answer is x= - 11/ 16
You can check this by plugging in x for -11/16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 175
y = 175 - x
f(x) = (x+3)(y+4)
= x(175-x) + 3(175-x) + 4x + 12
= 175x - x² + 525 - 3x + 4x + 12
= -x² +176x + 537
f'(x) = -2x + 176
maximum when x = 88
y = 175-x = 87
