Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

y=2-x^2

the parabola is open down with vertex at (0,2)

We can find that the rectangle also will be symmetrical about y axis.

Let the vertices on x axis by (p,0) and (-p,0)

Then other two vertices would be (p,2-p^2) (-p,2-p^2) because the vertices lie on the parabola and satisfy the parabola equation

Now width = 2-p^2

Area = l*w = 2(2p-p^3)

Use derivative test

I derivative = 2(2-3p^2)

II derivative = -12p

Equate I derivative to 0 and consider positive value only since we want maximum

p = \sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Thus width= \sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Length =2\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Width = 2-2/3 = 4/3

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

slope of AB=2

AB(distance)=4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of AB=6-(-2)/-4-(-8)

=2

AB=√(-8-(-4))^(2+(-2-6)^(2

=4√5 or 8.94427

next time pls type clearly ur question, because actually I don't know what kind of answer that u want to know. sorry

What is y greater then or equal to 2x on a graph
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The minimal number for the objective function P =20x+16y is: 780

The value of x then is: 15

and the value of y then is : 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of inequalities as:

y is less than or equal to 2x

i.e.          y ≤ 2x--------(1)

x + y is greater than or equal to 45

i.e.      x+y ≥ 45  ------------(2)    

and    x is less than or equal to 30.    

i.e.               x ≤ 30 -----------(3)    

On plotting these inequalities we get the boundary points as:

        (15,30) , (30,60) and (30,15)    

( Since, the optimal solution always exist at the boundary point )

The optimal function is given by:

 Minimize  P = 20x+16y

Hence, at (15,30) we get:

P= 780

at (30,60) we get:

 P= 1560

at (30,15) we get:

P= 840

This  means that the minimal value of the function is 780

and the value exist at (15,30)
