Answer: 90.51 square units

Explanation:

1) The rectangle has one length on the x-axis.

2) Call x, the x-coordinate of the right lower corner of the rectangle.

And the point is (x,0)

3) The x-coordinate of the lef lower corner will be - x.

And the point is (-x,0)

4) The right upper point of the rectangle will be (x,y) where y = 24 - x²

5) The left upper point of the rectangle will be (-x,y) where y = 24 - x² .

6) The area of such rectantle is the length of the base times the length of the height.

The length of the base is 2x

The lenght of the height is y

So, the area is A = 2x(y) = 2x(24 - x²) = 48x - 2x³

7) Now to find the maximum area you have to derivate the function and make it equal to zero:

dA
---- = A' = 48 - 6x² = 0 =>
dx

4x² = 48 => x² = 48/6 = 8 =>

x = (+/-)√8

Then, y = 24 - x² = 24 - (√8)² = 24 - 8 = 16

8) Therefore the area of the rectangle is

A = 2x(y) = 2(√8)(16) = 90.51.

9) You can see if x is a greater or smaller.

For example x = 2 and x = 3

x = 2 => y = 24 - (2)² = 20 => A = 2(2)(20) = 80 which is less than 90.51

x = 3 => y = 24 - (3)² = 15 => A = 2(3)(15) = 90 which is less than 90.51

So, that tells you that your result should be right.

Thomas drew a line of best fit for the scatter plot as shown. Enter an equation for the line of best fit in slope-intercept form
juin [17]

Answer:

Equation of line best fits the scatter plot is y = -\frac{30}{7} x + 108

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of line be y = mx + c

where m = slope of line and c is the intercept on y -axis

from the graph intercept on y-axis is 108

and the slope of line is given by m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} where (x_2,y_2) and (x_1,y_1) is the points on line

let, points be (4,96) and (18,36)

on calculating this m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = -\frac{30}{7}

Therefore equation of line best fits the scatter plot is y = -\frac{30}{7} x + 108
