The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.

Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;

Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:

A = x.y

A = x(-\frac{3}{4}.x + 3)

A = -\frac{3}{4}.x^{2}  + 3x

To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:

\frac{dA}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(-\frac{3}{4}.x^{2}  + 3x)

\frac{dA}{dx} = -3x + 3

The critical point is:

\frac{dA}{dx} = 0

-3x + 3 = 0

x = 1

Substituing:

y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 3

y = -\frac{3}{4}.1 + 3

y = 9/4

So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4

The maximum area is:

A = 1 . 9/4

A = 9/4

A = 2.25

Which is NOT a true statement?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

|a| represents Absolute value, it is the distance from zero that a number is on the number line. And we know distance cannot be negative.

So,

|a| = a

|-a| = a\\\\| \frac{-a}{b}| = \frac{a}{b}\\\\|\frac{a}{-b}| = \frac{a}{b}

A pentagon has angle measures of 105°, 101°, 112° and 113°. What must the fifth angle measure?
Taya2010 [7]
Add them. Pentagram interior angle is 540. 105+101+112+113=431. 540-431=109 Hence, 109 is the answer. Please brainliest.

What is the measure of angle B in degrees
Hunter-Best [27]

Angle C and the 112 degree angle are supplementary, so angle C measures 180-112=68 degrees.

This means that by the exterior angle theorem, m\angle B=51^{\circ}+68^{\circ}=\boxed{119^{\circ}}
