Answer:

The maximum area of the triangular region is 2 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the triangular region is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(x)(y) -----> equation A

where

x is the x-coordinate of point P

y is the y-coordinate of point P

we have

The equation of the graph of the line is

x+y=4

y=-x+4 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

A=\frac{1}{2}(x)(-x+4)

A=-\frac{1}{2}x^2+2x

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area of the triangular region

Find the vertex

Convert the quadratic equation in vertex form

Factor -1/2

A=-\frac{1}{2}(x^2-4x)

Complete the square

A=-\frac{1}{2}(x^2-4x+4)+2

Rewrite as perfect squares

A=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)^2+2

The vertex is the point (2,2)

so

The maximum area is the y-coordinate of the vertex

The maximum area of the triangular region is 2 square units

Find the coordinates of point P for the maximum area

x=2 (x-coordinate of the vertex)

Find the y-coordinate of point P

substitute in equation B

y=-2+4=2

The coordinates of point P for the maximum area is P(2,2)

Solve the system of equations - 6x + 8y = –10 and - 4x + y = –11 by<br> combining the equations.
elena55 [62]
Answer: (3, 1) :)

Explanation:
-6x + 8y = -10
-4x + y = -11
-32x + 8y = -88
26x = 78
x = 3
-18 + 8y = -10
8y = 8
y = 1
