Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:

which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is

Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:

which gives:

or

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,

, for
Answer:
34/15
Step-by-step explanation:
I recognized the form of this decimal as a number divided by 3. However, when I multiplied it by 3, I got 6.8. This means that the fraction was not fully simplified. Multiplying by 5, I got 34. Since I had to multiply by 3 and then by 5 to get there, I multiplied by a total of 15. Hope this helps!
Answer:
a. 
b. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width
a. We know that the kitchen measures 3.75 meters by 4.2 meters; then we can say that:

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula, we get that the area of the kitchen is:

b. The area of the living room is one and a half times (1.5 times) that of the kitchen, this is:

Therefore, the total of the living room and the kitchen is:
