Pytharorean therum...can only be used on right triangles
a^2 + b^2 = c^2...a and b r ur legs and c is ur hypotenuse
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
676 = c^2
sqrt 676 = c
26 = c <== ur hypotenuse is 26 cm
First, convert the percentage into a decimal by removing the % sign and dividing by 100.
40% => 0.4
The word 'of' in mathematics can mean multiplication.
0.4 * 126 = 50.4
Answer:
<em>x = 1</em>
This is the equation that I interpreted:
6/(x) - 3 = 3/(x)
I have never worked with determining extraneous equations before, so I cannot answer the second part.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -
x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.
Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;
Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:
A = x.y
A = x(-
)
A = -
To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:
=
(-
)
= -3x + 3
The critical point is:
= 0
-3x + 3 = 0
x = 1
Substituing:
y = -
x + 3
y = -
.1 + 3
y = 9/4
So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4
The maximum area is:
A = 1 . 9/4
A = 9/4
A = 2.25
I believe it is C hope it helps
