Point p(a,b) is in the first quadrant on the graph of the line x+y=4. A triangular region is shown on the diagram. What is the m

aximum area of the triangular region?

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)

HELPPPP What is the volume of the square pyramid? Use Pythagorean’s Theorem to find the height of the pyramid
aalyn [17]

Answer: 4,111.7 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use this formula to calculate the volume of the square pyramid:

V=\frac{s^2h}{3}

Where "s" is the lenght of any side of the square base and "h" is the height of the pyramid.

Find the height with the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2=b^2+c^2

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the right triangle. Let be "c" the height of the pyramid.

You can identify in the figure that:

a=26mm\\\\b=\frac{23mm}{2}=11.5mm\\\\c=h

Then, you can find the height:

(26mm)^2=(11.5mm)^2+h^2\\\\h=\sqrt{(26mm)^2-(11.5mm)^2}\\\\h=23.318mm

Then, knowing that:

s=23mm\\h=23.318mm

You can calculate the volume:

 V=\frac{(23mm)^2(23.318mm)}{3}=4,111.7mm^3

Use the equation 2,401 = 76 – 2x. What power of 7 is 2,401?
zaharov [31]
Comment
I'm going to take a guess at this and say what you meant is  2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)

Step One
Find out the power of 7 that will equal 2401. 
You could do it like this.
7^y = 2401 and just guess at some values.

y      7^y
1      7
2      49
3      7 * 7 * 7 = 343
4      7 * 7 * 7 * 7 = 2401  So the answer is 4

7^4 = 2401

Step 2 
Equate the powers.
2401 = 7^(6 - 2x)
7^4 = 7^ (6 - 2x)
4 = 6 - 2x  Subtract 6 from both sides.
4 - 6 = - 2x 
-2 = - 2x divide by - 2
-2/-2 = x
x = 1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<answer
