Answer:

The maximum value is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an upside-down parabola, the maximum value occurs at the vertex. Using -b/2a, we can find the x-value of the vertex and use that x value to plug back into the original function to find the maximum value.

x = -b/2a = -(-12)/(2(-6)) = 12/-12 = -1

f(-1) = -6(-1)^2-12(-1)-1 = 5

A rectangle has an area of 18cm^2. The lengths of the sides are whole numbers. How long can each of the sides be? Give all the e

babymother [125]

Answer:

Area of rectangle = l x b

18 = l x b

Factors of 18 =

1 x 18 = 18

2 x 9 = 18

3 x 6 = 18

So each of the sides can be either 1cm and 18 cm, 2cm and 9cm and 3cm and 6cm.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

d =7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-3,11) =(x_1,y_1)\\(-6,4)=(x_2,y_2)\\\\\mathrm{Compute\:the\:distance\:between\:}\left(x_1,\:y_1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right):\\\quad \sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{\left(-6-\left(-3\right)\right)^2+\left(4-11\right)^2}\\= \sqrt{(-6+3)^2+(4-11)^2}\\ \\d= \sqrt{(-3)^2+(-7)^2} \\\\d = \sqrt{9+49}\\ \\d = \sqrt{58}\\\\d = 7.61577\\\\d =7.6$
