Maximum area of the rectangle is 9cm^{2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

Considering the dimensions to be in cm

f(x) = -(x-3)^{2} +9\\f(x) = -(x^{2} +9 - 6x)+9\\f(x) = -x^{2} +6x\\f'(x) = -2x+6\\-2x+6 = 0\\2x=6\\x=3cm\\\\

Putting the value of x = 3

Perimeter = 2(x+b)\\12 = 2(3+b)\\6 = 3+b\\b= 3cm

Area of rectangle = x X b\\                              = 3 X 3\\                              = 9cm^{2}

Therefore, maximum area of the rectangle is 9cm^{2}

Bob is reading a 445 page book. He has already read 157 pages. If he reads 24 pages a day, how long will it take him to finish t
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation with y = mx + b, where m is the rate and b is the y-intercept (starting value)

Let x represent how many days it takes and y represent how many pages he read:

445 = 24x + 157

Solve for x:

288 = 24x

12 = x

So, it will take him 12 days to finish the book

Line 'L' is horizontal and passes through (-5,8). Line 'L is vertical and passes through $(4,-1)$. Find the point of intersectio
Elanso [62]
<h3>The two lines intersect at (4,8)</h3>

Every y coordinate on the horizontal line is the same, so each point has a y coordinate of y = 8. This is to be able to pass through (-5,8)

Every x coordinate on the vertical line is the same, so each point has an x coordinate of x = 4. This is to be able to pass through (4,-1)

Put this together to get the answer (x,y) = (4,8)

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line that goes through the two points (-8, 3) and (4, 27)?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

-1/2 or -0.5

negative half

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of regular line= (y1-y2) / (x1-x2)

(27-3) / (4 - -8)

24 / (4+8)

24 / 12 = 2

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal

the negative reciprocal of positive 2/1 (2 as a fraction) is:

negative half: -1/2 or -0.5
