Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The integers 5 and 5 sum to 10 and have the largest possible product.

___

The two numbers will be x and (10-x). Their product is x(10-x), which describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=10. The maximum (vertex) of that parabola is halfway between the zeros, at x=5. Both integers have the same value: 5. Their product is 25.

If there is a requirement the integers be distinct, then 6 and 4 are the integers of choice. Their product is 24.

A 5000 seat theater has tickets for sale at 26 and 40. How many tickets should be sold at each price for a sellout performance t

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The number of tickets for sale at $26 should be 3300

The number of tickets for sale at $40 should be 1700

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 2 equations to represent the modifiers within the problem:

$5000 = a + b \\ 153800 = 26a + 40b$

Now you want to find the point at which the variables are changed to make both equations correct, this can be done by graphing and finding the intersection of both lines.

$5000 = 3300 + 1700 \\ 153800 = 26(3300) + 40(1700)$

Find the cost of leveling a badminton court 132m long and 58 m broad at the rate of Rs. 80 per sq. m.

serg [7]

Answer:

Rs. 612,480

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

Here the question asks us to find the cost of leveling a badminton court at the rate of Rs.80 per sq..

So by the word leveling we know that we have to find the area of the court in order to proceed further.

(I am assuming the court to be rectangular in shape).

Area of a rectangle = Length * Breadth

*Length = 132 meters

*Breadth = 58 meters

==> 132*58= 7656 m^2

So now that we got the area of the badminton court lets find the cost of leveling it ==>

Cost of leveling per meter^2 = Rs. 80

Area = 7656 m^2

==> 7656 * 80 = 612,480

So the cost would be Rs. 612,480
