Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
As given y=mx lets replace mx with y in the first equation
2y=n => y=n/2, replace y with n/2 => mx=n/2, thus x=n/2m
b)
As given y=nx lets replace y with nx in the first equation
x+n^2x=m => x(n^2+1)=m = > x=m/(n^2+1), thus y= n*m/(n^2+1)
c) Replace y with nx => mx-nx=n => x(m-n)=n = > x=n/(m-n), thus y=n^2/(m-n)
Answer:
While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.
Answer:
90 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
30x3=90
Answer:
- front/back: 106 2/3 ft
- sides: 135 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
These problems are easily solved if you start with the knowledge that the solution makes the front/back cost equal to the side cost.
Suppose we define the length of the front as x. Then the total cost of the front and back is (2x)(81) = 162x.
If y is the length of the side of the building, then (2y)(64) = 128y is the total cost of the sides of the building. When these costs are equal, we have ...
162x = 128y
y = (162/128)x
The floor area is ...
xy = 14400 = x(162/128)x
x = √(14400·128/162) = √(11377 7/9) = 106 2/3
y = (162/128)x = 135
The front/back of the building measure 106 ft 8 inches; the sides measure 135 feet.
_____
<em>Solution using derivatives</em>
Using the above variable definitions, we can find the side length as ...
y = 14400/x
so the total cost is then ...
c = 162x + 128(14400/x)
We want the derivative with respect to x to be zero:
dc/dx = 0 = 162 -128·14400/x^2
Solving for x gives ...
x = √(14400·128/162) = 106 2/3 . . . . . compare to the solution above
y = 14400/(106 2/3) = 135
