Answer:

  4√10 inches wide by 6√10 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

"Poster area" problems have an interesting general solution. The "printed area" is maximized, or the "poster area" is minimized, when the ratio of poster dimensions is equal to the ratio of margin dimensions.

Here, the top/bottom margins total 3 inches, and the side/side margins total 2 inches. That is, the printed area will be maximized when the poster has a width : height aspect ratio of 2 : 3. If w represents the width, then the total area is ...

  (w)(3/2w) = 240 . . . . square inches

  w^2 = 160

  w = √160 = 4√10 . . . . width in inches

Then the height is ...

  height = (3/2)w = (3/2)(4√10) = 6√10 . . . . height, inches

_____

<em>Graphical solution</em>

A graphing calculator gives the same result for x=width. Poster width is about 12.649 inches (=4√10), and printed area is a maximum of about 170.1 square inches.

_____

<em>Calculus solution</em>

Let x represent the width of the poster. Then x-2 is the width of the printed area. The height of the poster will be 240/x, and the height of the printed area will be (240/x)-3. We want to maximize the printed area ...

  a = (x -2)(240/x -3)

which means we want to find the value of x where the area derivative is zero.

  a = 240 -480/x -3x +6

  da/dx = 0 = 480/x^2 -3

Solving for x, we get ...

  x^2 = 480/3 = 160

  x = √160 = 4√10 . . . . . poster width, as above

Help me please will give points

Answer: 675

m represents the time she has been paying. And B represents how much she owed.
So to find how much she owed at the beginning, when no time had passed, we need to set m equal to zero.

When m is zero, the equation is
B = -100(0) + 675
B= 675

So 675 is how much she owed at the beginning of the year.

The points (0 1) and (1 4) are contained in the graph of an equation with only two variables x and y
Blababa [14]

The line that passes through (0 1) and (1 4) is a linear equation

The equation of the points is y = 3x + 1

<h3>How to determine the equation of the points?</h3>

The points are given as:

(x,y) = (0 1) and (1 4)

Start by calculating the slope (m)

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

So, we have:

m = (4 - 1)/(1 - 0)

Evaluate

m = 3

The equation is then calculated as:

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

This gives

y = 3(x - 0) + 1

Evaluate the product

y = 3x + 1

Hence, the equation of the points is y = 3x + 1
