X + y = 60
P = x^2 y

From first  equation y = 60 - x

P = x^2(60 - x)
P = 60x^2 - x^3
Finding the derivative of P and equating to zero:-
P' = 120x - 3x^2 = 0
 -3x ( x - 40) = 0
 x = 40 
This makes y = 20
So maximum values of x^2y  = 40^2 * 20 =  32,000.

A pond is being drained by a pump. After 3 hours, the pond is half empty. A second pump is put into operation and together the t
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The first pump empties half the pond in 3 hours, so in 1/6 that time (1/2 hour), it empties (1/6)·(1/2) = 1/12 of the pond.

The second pump empties the other 5/12 of the pond in that half hour, so has a pumping rate of (1/2 h)/(5/12 pond) = (6/5 h)/pond.

The second pump could do the entire job alone in 1 hour and 12 minutes.

Use the spinner to identify the probability of the pointer landing on a shaded area to the nearest hundredth. HELP?!!
Pie

A full circle = 360 degrees.

The sum of the shaded portions is : 60 + 55 + 45 = 160.

The probability would be the shaded portion divided by the full circle:

160 / 360 = 0.44
