Call these numbers x,y. Then x+y=7 or y=7-x.

We want to maximize their product,

f(x,y)=xy\implies f(x,7-x)=F(x)=7x-x^2

We could consider the derivative, but I think that's overkill. Instead, let's complete the square:

7x-x^2=-\left(x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}4\right)+\dfrac{49}4=\dfrac{49}4-\left(x-\dfrac72\right)^2

whose graph is a parabola opening downward with vertex at \left(\dfrac72,\dfrac{49}4\right), so that the maximum product is \dfrac{49}4.

Now if x=\dfrac72, it follows that y=7-\dfrac72=\dfrac72.

Answer:

3.5 and 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest product comes from the most even variables.

Picture you have 7 units to make the height and width of a rectangle and your trying to get the most area possible. The most efficient rectangle is a square and all sides are even on a square so both variables should be even.

What are the zeros for both functions
sammy [17]

Answer:

the zero of a function is the value of x which makes the final value zero

First Equation:

So let 25 - 2x equal to 0

<em>25 - 2x = 0</em>

x = 12.5

Second Equation:

Let 2x² - 11x - 6 equal to zero

<em>2x² - 11x - 6 = 0 </em>

<em>2x² - 12x + x - 6 = 0 </em><em>(Splitting the middle term)</em>

<em>2x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0</em>

<em>(2x + 1) (x - 6) = 0</em>

So we can transpose either one of the brackets below the zero

(2x + 1) = 0                 or             (x-6) = 0

x = -1/2                      or             x = 6

A triangle has side lengths of 12cm 35cm and 37cm. Classify it as acute, obtuse, or right
larisa [96]
The answer is right because 12^2 + 35^2 = 1369 and 37^2 = 1369 1369=1369 so it is a right triangle
