Of all rectangles with a fixed perimeter of p, which one has the maximum area? (give the dimensions in terms of p.)

1 answer:

8 0

<span>For all rectangles with a fixed perimeter of p the rectangle with the maximum area is one where the length is p/4 and the width is p/4, in other words a square. The area of such a rectangle would be (p*p) /16.</span>

Find the point-slope equation of the line using the point (1,2) and the slope of 3/2

Leokris [45]

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

(x1, y1) = a point

m = slope

We are given:

(x1, y1) = (1, 2)

m = 3/2

Put into the original equation:

y - 2 = 3/2(x - 1)

Best of Luck!

Using substitution, determine the solution to the system of equations. Include a photo of your work

kiruha [24]

Answer:

I can't submit a photo but here:

x = 4, y = 16

(4,16)

You can choose whichever format

Step-by-step explanation:

We have x given to us already. Since we know the value of x, we can input the value into the other equation to solve for y

Solve:

Substitute 4 for x:

y = 2x + 8
y = 2(4) + 8
y = 8 + 8
y = 16

Our solution is x = 4 and y = 16, or (4,16)

What is 3 1/6 + 8 2/9 - 1 1/2 ?

dalvyx [7]

When you put 31/6 to 5 1/6 and 8 2/9 to 8 2/9 and 11/2 to 5 1/2. Then you change the denominators to 18, so you get 5 3/18 + 8 4/18 - 5 9/18. So you add the 5 3/18 and 8 4/18 to get 13 7/18. Then you subtract 13 7/18 by 5 9/18 to get 7 8/18. simplest form you will get 7 4/9. Your welcome.
