You should have drawn1 - x-axis and y-axis in light pencil.2 - graphed a down-facing parabola with the top of the frown on the y-axis at y = 2.  It should be crossing the x-axis at ±√2.  This should be in dark pencil or another color.3 - In dark pencil or a completely new color, draw a rectangle with one of the horizontal sides sitting on top of the x-axis and the other horizontal side touching the parabola at each of the top corners of the rectangle. The rectangle will have half of its base in the positive x-axis and the other half on the negative x-axis.  It should be split right down the middle by the y-axis.  So each half of the base we will say is "x" units long.  So the whole base is 2x units long (the x units to the right of the y-axis, and the x units to the left of the y-axis)  I so wish I could draw you this picture...   In the vertical direction, both vertical edges are the same length and we will call that y.   The area that we want to maximize has a width 2x long, and a height of y tall. So A = 2xy     This is the equation we want to maximize (take derivative and set it = 0), we call it the "primary equation", but we need it in one variable. This is where the "secondary equation" comes in.  We need to find a way to change the area formula to all x's or all y's. Since it is constrained to having its height limited by the parabola, we could use the fact that y=2 - x2 to make the area formula in only x's.   Substitute in place of the "y", "2 - x2" into the area formula. A = 2xy = 2x(2 - x2)   then simplify A = 4x - 2x3     NOW you are ready to take the deriv and set it = 0 dA/dx = 4 - 6x2       0 = 4 - 6x2   6x2 = 4    x2 = 4/6 or 2/3 So x = ±√(2/3) Width remember was 2x.   So the width is 2[√(2/3)]Height is y which is 2 - x2 = 2 - 2/3  =4/3

the sum of three numbers is 79. The second number is 5 times the first, while the third is 16 more than the first. Find the Numb
faust18 [17]
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.

x + y + z = 79

x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first

Therefor,

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x

x + 5x + x + 16 = 79

Add all like numbers:

7x + 16 = 79

To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.

7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63

To get x, divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9

To check. Substitute x by 9.

x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79

9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.

Find the average rate of change for the given function from x = −1 to x = 2.
Mashutka [201]

the \: average \: rate \: of \: change =  \frac{f(x2) - f(x1)}{x2 - x1}  \\  \frac{f(2) - f( - 1)}{ 2 -  - 1}  =  \\  \frac{ - 3(2) + 2 - ( - 3( - 1) + 2)}{3} =   \\  \frac{ - 6  + 2 - 3 - 2}{3}  =  \frac{ - 9}{3}  =  - 3
