Looking at this problem in terms of geometry makes it easier than trying to think of it algebraically.

If you want the largest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding a rectangle with width x and length y that has the largest perimeter.

If you want the smallest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding the rectangle with the smallest perimeter.

However, the area x*y must be constant and = 100.

We know that a square has the smallest perimeter to area ratio. This means that the smallest perimeter rectangle with area 100 is a square with side length 10. For this square, x+y = 20.

We also know that the further the rectangle stretches, the larger its perimeter to area ratio becomes. This means that a rectangle with side lengths 100 and 1 with an area of 100 has the largest perimeter. For this rectangle, x+y = 101.

So, the difference between the max and min values of x+y = 101 - 20 = 81.

Hi! can someone please help? i added a pic so that u can see what i need help on. hopefully it helps

Answer:

I'm pretty sure that the answers would go, Wrong, increased, 9 1/2 points, 6 5/8 points, dropped, 12 3/4 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why it would be wrong is because the amount of points lost was less than the total amount of points gained.

In week one and two the company gained 9 1/2 points and 6 5/8 points. When you add them together, you get 16 1/8 points.

In week three the company lost 12 3/4 points. If you multiply the fraction to change the denominator to 8, the mixed fraction becomes 12 6/8.

16 1/8 - 12 6/8 = 3 3/8

As you can see, there are still points left over.

In the fourth week, they ended up losing all of their points and then some more, but from my understanding it's just asking about the third week.

Hope that this helps!

BD is equal to 120 because when you find the hypotenuse of triangle GEB, you just have to multiply it by 1.5.
