Answer:

L  =  23 in

h  = 46  in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  " x "  and  " y "  dimensions of the print area of the poster then:

882 = x*y  and   y = 882/x

We also know that dimensions of the poster is:

L  =  x + 2   in  and     h  =  y + 4 in

Therefore area of the poster is:

A(p)  = ( x + 2 ) * ( y + 4 )  And area as function of x is:

A(x)  =   ( x + 2 ) * ( 882/x + 4 )

A(x)  =  882 + 4*x + 1764 /x  + 8

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we have:

A´(x)  =  4  - 1764/x²

A´(x)  = 0      ⇒      4  - 1764/x² = 0      ⇒ 4*x² - 1764  =  0

x²  =  1764 / 4

x²  = 441

x  = 21 in      and    y  =  882/x         y  = 42

The second derivative  A´´(x)  is > 0  ( the second term changes its sign to +) there is a minimum for the function at the point      x = 21

As x   and  y are dimensions of the printing area of the poster, dimensions of the poster  are

L  = x  +  2   =   21  + 2  =  23 in   and

h = y  +  4   =   42  + 4  =  46  in

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Selena's annual intake home salary is $ 26,640.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Selena's gross annual salary as the content editor of a fashion Magazine is $ 40,000, and she contributes 10% of her salary before she pays taxes to a retirement account, and 25% of her remaining salary is then consumed in state and federal taxes, To determine what is Selena's annual intake home salary if she also has to pay $ 30 for health Insurance each month, the following calculation must be performed:

40,000 - (40,000 x 0.1) - (40,000 x 0.9 x 0.25) - (30 x 12) = X

40,000 - 4,000 - 9,000 - 360 = X

26.640 = X

Therefore, Selena's annual intake home salary is $ 26,640.

Answer:

y intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system. As such, these points satisfy x = 0.
