Let
x ----------> the height of the whole poster
<span>y ----------> the </span>width<span> of the whole poster
</span>
We need to minimize the area A=x*y

we know that
(x-4)*(y-2)=722
(y-2)=722/(x-4)
(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

so
A(x)=x*y--------->A(x)=x*{[722/(x-4)]+2}
Need to minimize this function over x > 4

find the derivative------> A1 (x)
A1(x)=2*[8x²-8x-1428]/[(x-4)²]

for A1(x)=0
8x²-8x-1428=0
using a graph tool
gives x=13.87 in

(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

y=[2x+714]/[x-4]-----> y=[2*13.87+714]/[13.87-4]-----> y=75.15 in

the answer is
<span>the dimensions of the poster will be
</span>the height of the whole poster is 13.87 in
the width of the whole poster is 75.15 in

My age if I am half as old as two more than twice Mack's age if Mack is m years old.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

You are m + 1 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that you are x years old, and Mack is m years old.

x = 1/2( two plus twice m)

x = 1/2(2 + 2m)

x = 1 + m

x = m + 1

Hope this helps!

I need this question solved with derivatives please:
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

16,242. 7 cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to cut off a square piece at the 4 corners of the cardboard.

Let the length of their edges be x cm.

The volume of the box will be:

V = height * width * length

V = x(100-2x)(40-2x)

V = x(4000 - 200x - 80x + 4x^2)

V = x(4x^2 - 280x + 4000)

V =  4x^3 + - 280x^2 + 4000x

Finding the derivative:

dV / dx =  12x^2 - 560x + 4000  = 0  ( when  V is a maxm or minm.)

4(3x^2 - 140x + 1000) = 0

x =  37.86, 8.80.

Looks like x = 8.80 is the right value but we can check this out be looking at the sign of the second derivative:

V" =  24x - 560, when x = 8.8   V" is negative so this is a Maximum for V.

So the maximum volume of the box is when x = 8.8 so we have

V =  8.8(100-2(8.8)(40 - 2(8.8)

=  16,242. 7 cm^3.
