The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width, and its perimeter is 22 inches. Find the width of the rectangle.

Answer:

W = 4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Here W is the width and L the length.  Then L = W + 3 in.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2W + 2L.

Thus, 22 in = 2(W) + 2(W + 3), which reduces to

11 in = W + W + 3 in, or

8 in = 2W, and W = 4 in

A lidless box is to be made using 2m^2 of cardboard find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard
Jlenok [28]
1.8, Problem 37: A lidless cardboard box is to be made with a volume of 4 m3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard. Solution: If the dimensions of our box are x, y, and z, then we’re seeking to minimize A(x, y, z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz subject to the constraint that xyz = 4. Our first step is to make the first function a function of just 2 variables. From xyz = 4, we see z = 4/xy, and if we substitute this into A(x, y, z), we obtain a new function A(x, y) = xy + 8/y + 8/x. Since we’re optimizing something, we want to calculate the critical points, which occur when Ax = Ay = 0 or either Ax or Ay is undefined. If Ax or Ay is undefined, then x = 0 or y = 0, which means xyz = 4 can’t hold. So, we calculate when Ax = 0 = Ay. Ax = y − 8/x2 = 0 and Ay = x − 8/y2 = 0. From these, we obtain x 2y = 8 = xy2 . This forces x = y = 2, which forces z = 1. Calculating second derivatives and applying the second derivative test, we see that (x, y) = (2, 2) is a local minimum for A(x, y). To show it’s an absolute minimum, first notice that A(x, y) is defined for all choices of x and y that are positive (if x and y are arbitrarily large, you can still make z REALLY small so that xyz = 4 still). Therefore, the domain is NOT a closed and bounded region (it’s neither closed nor bounded), so you can’t apply the Extreme Value Theorem. However, you can salvage something: observe what happens to A(x, y) as x → 0, as y → 0, as x → ∞, and y → ∞. In each of these cases, at least one of the variables must go to ∞, meaning that A(x, y) goes to ∞. Thus, moving away from (2, 2) forces A(x, y) to increase, and so (2, 2) is an absolute minimum for A(x, y).

Which of the following expression is equal to x^2+25?
nignag [31]
A: (x + 5i)^2
= (x + 5i)(x + 5i)
= (x)(x) + (x)(5i) + (5i)(x) + (5i)(5i)
= x^2 + 5ix + 5ix + 25i^2
= 25i^2 + 10ix + x^2


B: (x - 5i)^2
= (x  +   - 5i)(x +  - 5i)
= (x)(x) + (x)(- 5i) + (- 5i)(x) + (- 5i)(- 5i)
= x^2 - 5ix - 5ix + 25i^2
= 25i^2 - 10ix + x^2


C: (x - 5i)(x + 5i)
= (x +  - 5i)(x + 5i)
= (x)(x) + (x)(5i) + (- 5i)(x) + (- 5i)(5i)
= x^2 + 5ix - 5ix - 25i^2
= 25i^2 + x^2


D: (x + 10i)(x  - 15i)
= (x + 10i)(x +  - 15i)
= (x)(x) + (x)(- 15i) + (10i)(x) + (10i)(- 15i)
= x^2 - 15ix + 10ix - 150i^2
=  - 150i^2 + 5ix + x^2
