Yana is using an indirect method to prove that segment DE is not parallel to segment BC in the triangle ABC shown below: A trian

gle ABC is shown. D is a point on side AB and E is a point on side AC. Points D and E are joined using a straight line. The length of AD is equal to 4, the length of DB is equal to 5, the length of AE is equal to 6 and the length of EC is equal to 7. She starts with the assumption that segment DE is parallel to segment BC. Which inequality will she use to contradict the assumption? 4:9 ≠ 6:13 4:9 ≠ 6:7 4:13 ≠ 6:9 4:5 ≠ 6:13

Please see attached file for the triangle’s figure:

 

Going with the image attached, if DE is parallel to BC<span>
then
<span>4: (4 + 5) = 6 : (6 + 7).

Therefore, the inequality that she will use to contradict the assumption</span> is 4:9 ≠ 6:13</span>.

To add, a relation that holds between two values when they are different in mathematics is called an inequality. A is not equal to b also means the notation a ≠ b.

<span><span>

</span>Inequalities are governed by the following properties<span>:

Transitivity</span></span>
 Converse
 Addition and subtraction
 Multiplication and division
 Additive inverse
 Multiplicative inverse
<span>Applying a function to both sides</span>

A satellite television company charges a one-time installation fee and a monthly service charge. The total cost is modeled by th
Marat540 [252]
<span>(2) y is the total cost, x is the number of months of service, $40 is the installation fee, and $90 is the service charge per month.</span>
y = 40 + 90x

y = total cost
x = number of months of service
40 = one time installation fee
90 = monthly service charge.

Let us assume that the number of months of service is 10 months. then, the total cost would be:

y = 40 + 90(10)
y = 40 + 900
y = 940

Help please calculus
VLD [36.1K]

Let x, y, and z denote the side lengths of the box, with the bottom face having dimensions x-by-y and z is the height. Naturally this means each of x, y, and z must be greater than 0.

The box has a fixed volume of 252 cm³, so

xyz = 252

The surface area of the box is

2xy + 2xz + 2yz

and we're told that the material cost for each face is different. The total cost of the material needed to make the box is given by

C (x, y, z) = ($5/cm²) xy + ($2/cm²) xy + 2 ($3/cm²) (xz + yz)

or, omitting units and simplifying,

C (x, y, z) = 7xy + 6 (x + y) z

In the volume constraint, solve for any one variable; I'll do z.

z = 252/(xy)

Substitute this into the cost function:

C (x, y, 252/(xy)) = 7xy + 1512 (x + y)/(xy)

Since this is now a function of 2 variables, I'll rewrite this as

C* (x, y) = 7xy + 1512 (1/y + 1/x)

Compute the partial derivatives of C and find the critical points:

∂C/∂x = 7y - 1512/x² = 0   ⇒   x² y = 216

∂C/∂y = 7x - 1512/y² = 0   ⇒   x y² = 216

It follows that

x² y = x y²   ⇒   x = y

Just like before, we can think about C* as yet another function but only of 1 variable,

C** (x) = 7x² + 3024/x

Now find the critical points of C** :

dC**/dx = 14x - 3024/x² = 0   ⇒   x = 6

All of this tells us that C (x, y, z) has a critical point when x = y = 6 and z = 252/6² = 7. So the box that costs the least has dimensions 6 × 6 × 7 cm, which gives the box a surface area of 240 cm² and a total cost of $756.
