nd asks for a sign that has an area of 16x2 – 40x + 25 square inches. A square labeled 16 x squared minus 40 x + 25 What is the side length, in inches, of the pet shop sign? 4x + 5 4x – 5 8x + 5 8x – 5
Ok so Candy draws a square design with a side length of x inches for the window at the pet shop. She takes the design to the printer and asks for a sign that has an area of
16x^2-40x+25square inches. Let y(x) =16x^2-40x+25
If differentiating both sides w.r.t x we get
y'(x)=32x-40 And to find critical point x ,Put y'(x)=0 then
You use the bowtie method to get the answer for this problem. This is where you do 4/15 and x/273. You multiply 4 by 273 and x by 15. Resulting in the answers 1092 and 15x. To find the value of x, you divide 1092 by 15. and get 72.8. I rounded up to 73.
