Answer:

Square with side length 25/4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is always going to be largest for a rectangle when the two dimensions are equal.  You are looking for a square. What square has perimeter 25? 4s=25 so the side length of this rectangle (Square) is 25/4 m.

Answer:

It's a square  6.25 * 6.25 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this using calculus.

Let the  length of the  rectangle be x m.

2x + 2w = 25   where w = the width.

2w = 25 - 2x

w = 12.5 - x

So the area A = x(12.5 - x) = 12.5x - x^2.

Finding the derivative:

dA /dx = 12.5 - 2x

For a maximum area this = zero

12.5 - 2x = 0

x = 6.25m.

and w = 25 - 12.5  = 6.25m.

(For any rectangle the  maximum area is always a square).

A line passes through the point (-8, 6) and has a slope of 3/2
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

y-6=3/2(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

so the point slope form is  y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

so enter the points (-8, 6)

y-6= 3/2(x-(-8))

y-6=3/2(x+8)

The sum of two and a number is less than five
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the English statement

''The sum of two and number is less than five''.

Let us breakdown the statement.

  • Let 'n' be the number.
  • The sum of two and number = 2 + n

We know that the less than symbol is denoted by '<' which is used for comparison.

Thus, the statement 'The sum of two and a number is less than five' is algebraically represented as:

  • 2 + n < 5

Let us solve the algebraic expression.

2+n

Subtract 2 from both sides

2+n-2

Simplify

n

Thus, the solution is:

2+n

Please also check the attached solution line graph.

A 12 oz bottle of shampoo last 16 weeks. How long would you expect an 18 oz bottle to last
jenyasd209 [6]
If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.

Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:

12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24

It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)

Tom [10]

Answer: One sample z test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the sample size is large. It is greater than 30. Again, the population standard deviation is given. This means that the test statistic would be the z score which is determined by the formula

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

The probability value would be determined from the normal distribution table.

Therefore, the hypothesis test that should be used is

One sample z test for means
