There are 2 short sides x and 1 long side y.
x+x+y=1,800
2x+y=1,800
y=1,800-2x
The area of the rectangle is A=x(1,800-x).
A is a function with variable x. Moreover it is a quadratic (second degree) function.
The graph of the function is a parabola which opens downwards, because the signs of the leading coefficients of the factors, multiply to minus:
(x)(-x)=-x^2.
This means that the highest point of the parabola, is its vertex V(h,k), so the function takes its largest value for x=h.
The roots of A=x(1,800-x) are x=0 and x=1,800, thus the x coordinate of the vertex, must be the midpoint of 0 and 1,800, that is 900.
Answer:
A=x(1,800-x)
largest area is when x=900
Answer:
y = 3x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
m = slope
slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
4 - 1 / 4 - 3 = 3/1 = 3
m = 3
b = y-intercept
b = -8
y = mx + b
y = 3x + (-8)
y = 3x - 8
Answer:
The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width.
The length can be represented by 2w + 2
Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:
A = lw
24 = (2w + 2)(w)
Simplify and solve for w:
24 = 2w² + 2w
2w² + 2w - 24
Divide everything by 2:
w² + w - 12
Factor:
(w + 4)(w - 3)
Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:
w + 4 = 0
w = -4
w - 3 = 0
w = 3
Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.
Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:
2w + 2
2(3) + 2
= 8
So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Order of operations rules require that we do any work inside parentheses first. Thus,
–(31 + 2) + 72 – (–5)^2
becomes:
-33 + 72 - 25, or
14
Important: Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation; (-5)2 is incorrect, whereas (-5)^2 or (-5)² is correct.
