Answer:
You need to find the slope of the two points given, then you need to add or subtract (depending on if the slope is increasing or decreasing). Once you find the slope add or subtract the answer onto R or S.
Step-by-step explanation:
SLOPE FORMULA-
y2-y1 / x2-x1
Answer:
2.67 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that we represent the size of the squares with the letter y, such that after the squares are being cut from each corner, the rectangular length of the box that is formed can now be ( 23 - 2y), the width to be (13 - 2y) and the height be (x).
The formula for a rectangular box = L × B × W
= (23 -2y)(13-2y) (y)
= (299 - 46y - 26y + 4y²)y
= 299y - 72y² + 4y³
Now for the maximum volume:
dV/dy = 0
This implies that:
299y - 72y² + 4y³ = 299 - 144y + 12y² = 0
By using the quadratic formula; we have :

where;
a = 12; b = -144 and c = 299






Since the width is 13 inches., it can't be possible for the size of the square to be cut to be 9.33
Thus, the size of the square to be cut out from each corner to obtain the maximum volume is 2.67 inches.
Here is the equation: x+(x+20) = 120
Since you can't combine anything yet, its x+x+20=120
You need to get x by itself
Minus 20 from both sides
Its x+x=100 now
Combine the x's which is now 2x
Now divide 100 by 2 which is 50
x=50
---------------
Lets check:
50+(50+20)=120
Now combine the numbers in the parentheses
Its now 50+70=120
50+70=120 and 70-50=20
As you can see, he ran 50 minutes the first day and 70 minutes the second day
He could give each grandchild 3 cookies each. He would then have 12 cookies remaining.
You would divide 60 by 16 which would be 3 with a remainder of 12. The remainder is the number of cookies left after giving each grandchild the same amount of cookies each.
I hope this helps!
