First, we simplify 6x+2y=36 into 3x+y=18 by dividing by 2. This means that y=-3x+18.
The sum

can be written as:

,
<span>
from the binomial expansion formula: </span>

.
<span>
Thus, substituting </span>y=-3x+18 and simplifying we have<span>
</span>



.
This is a parabola which opens upwards (the coefficient of x^2 is positive), so its minimum is at the vertex. To find x, we apply the formula -b/2a. Substituting b=-108, a=10, we find that x is 108/20=5.4.
At x=5.4, the expression

, which is equivalent to

, takes it smallest value.
Substituting, we would find

=32.4 This is the smallest value of the expression.
For x=5.4, y=-3x+18=-3(5.4)+18=1.8.
Answer: (5.4, 1.8)
25- 20x + 4x^2
=4x^2 - 20x + 25
=4x^2 - x(10+10) +25
=4x^2 - 10x - 10x + 25
=2x(2x - 5) - 5( 2x - 5)
=(2x - 5)(2x - 5)
=(2x - 5)^2
Answer:
D) 57
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3x- 1/2 = 18 1/2
1/3x = 19
(3) * 1/3x = 19 (3)
x = 57
Answer:
224 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
What you would do is take the 3 hours times the 46 mph to get 138 miles.
3*46=138
Next, multiply the 2 hours by the 43 mph to get 86 miles.
2*43=86
Lastly, you're going to add the two.
138+86=224 miles.
