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

225 mg remain in Aldi bloodstream

Step-by-step explanation:

150mg of amoxicillin was given daily for 10 days equals 1,500

of the 1500-40% =600mg

600mg divided by  4 days = 225mg still in blood stream

Answer:

58 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the area of the square. To do so, we need to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle because this coincides with the side length of the square.

We use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that for a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Here, a = 7 and b = 3, so:

7^2 + 3^2 = c^2

c^2 = 49 + 9 = 58

Now, the area of a square is: A = s^2, where s is the side length. Well, c is the side length, and we've already found what c^2 is (it's 58), so that means the area of the square is 58 units squared.

Thus, the answer is 58 units squared.

You have $5,000 to invest for ten years. The Bank pays simple interest at an annual rate of 5%. Calculate your balance after 10
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: $7,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula: SI = P(1 + rt)

SI = 5000(1 + 0.05[10])

SI = 5000 + 2500

SI = $7,500

After 10 years, your balance should be $7,500
