Let xy = 25, x and y > 0.

y = \frac{25}{x}
\text{Denote S as: } x + y
S(x) = x + \frac{25}{x}

\text{Minimum: }S'(x) = 0, S''(x) > 0
S'(x) = 1 - \frac{25}{x^{2}}
1 - \frac{25}{x^{2}} = 0
x^{2} = 25
x = 5 (x > 0)

S''(x) = \frac{50}{x^{3}} > 0, (x > 0)

Thus, at x = 5, there lies a minimum summation, and this forms a square with side length of 5.

Space Shuttle Marion is observing the launch of a space
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Using the slope concept, it is found that the shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

Initially, the angle of elevation is of 16º, with an elevation of 1 mi, hence:

\tan{16^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_1}

x_1 = \frac{1}{\tan{16^\circ}}

x_1 = 3.5

Then, at the end, the angle will be of 74º, with the elevation remaining constant, hence:

\tan{74^\circ} = \frac{1}{x_2}

x_2 = \frac{1}{\tan{74^\circ}}

x_2 = 0.3

The distance is:

d = x_1 - x_2 = 3.5 - 0.3 = 3.2

The shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.

Let p= x^2-7.
Advocard [28]

Since p = x² - 7, you can substitute/plug in p for x² - 7

So:

(x² - 7)² - 4x² + 28 = 5

(p)² - 4x² + 28 = 5      You can factor out -4 from (-4x² + 28)

p² - 4(x² - 7) = 5        Plug in p

p² - 4p = 5        Subtract 5

p² - 4p - 5 = 0        Your answer is C
