Answer:

length = 24, width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length and width of the first rectangle w + 15 and w respectively. This means that the length and width of the second rectangle is (w + 15) - 2 and w + 5 respectively. Since the perimeter of the second rectangle is 72, we can write:

2 * ((w + 15) - 2 + w + 5) = 72 because perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

(w + 15) - 2 + w + 5 = 36 (Divide by 2)

2w + 18 = 36 (Combine like terms)

2w = 18 (Subtract 18)

w = 9 (Divide by 2)

This means that the length and width are 24 and 9.

An object is launched with a velocity at 64 feet per second from a platform 30 feet high. the function H(t)= -16t2+64t+30 repres
PolarNik [594]
To find the maximum or minimum value of a function, we can find the derivative of the function, set it equal to 0, and solve for the critical points.

H'(t) = -32t + 64

Now find the critical numbers:

-32t + 64 = 0

-32t = -64

t = 2 seconds

Since H(t) has a negative leading coefficient, we know that it opens downward. This means that the critical point is a maximum value rather than a minimum. If we weren't sure, we could check by plugging in a value for t slightly less and slighter greater than t=2 into H'(t):

H'(1) = 32

H'(3) = -32

As you can see, the rate of change of the object's height goes from increasing to decreasing, meaning the critical point at t=2 is a maximum.

To find the height, plug t=2 into H(t):

H(2) = -16(2)^2 +64(2) + 30 = 94

The answer is 94 ft at 2 sec.
