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

For each hour he babysits, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey’s hourly rate. Anderson earns $6 per hour. Which equation c
Illusion [34]

Answer: Our required equation would be 6=\dfrac{c}{2}+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount that Anderson earns per hour = $6

According to question, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey's hourly rate.

Let the hourly rate of Carey be 'c'.

So, it becomes,

6=\dfrac{c}{2}+1

And the value of c would be

6=\dfrac{c}{2}+1\\\\6-1=\dfrac{c}{2}\\\\5=\dfrac{c}{2}\\\\c=\$10

Hence, our required equation would be 6=\dfrac{c}{2}+1

In ΔLMN, n = 92 inches, ∠N=46° and ∠L=11°. Find the length of l, to the nearest inch.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The types of triangles are scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, right angled triangle and obtuse triangle.

Sine rule states that given a triangle with sides a, b, c and their corresponding angles opposite to the sides as A, B, C. Then:

\frac{a}{sinA} =\frac{b}{sinB} =\frac{c}{sinC}

In triangle LMN:

We can find the length of l using sine rule:

\frac{l}{sinL}=\frac{n}{sinN}  \\\\substituting:\\\\\frac{l}{sin(11)}=\frac{92}{sin(46)}  \\\\l=\frac{92}{sin(46)}*sin(11)\\\\k=24\ inches \\
