Answer:
split the number into equal pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming "splitting any number" means identifying parts that have the number as their sum, the maximum product of the parts will be found where the parts all have equal values.
We have to assume that the number being split is positive and all of the parts are positive.
<h3>2 parts</h3>
If we divide number n into parts x and (n -x), their product is the quadratic function x(n -x). The graph of this function opens downward and has zeros at x=0 and x=n. The vertex (maximum product) is halfway between the zeros, at x = (0 + n)/2 = n/2.
<h3>3 parts</h3>
Similarly, we can look at how to divide a (positive) number into 3 parts that have the largest product. Let's assume that one part is x. Then the other two parts will have a maximum product when they are equal. Their values will be (n-x)/2, and their product will be ((n -x)/2)^2. Then the product of the three numbers is ...
p = x(x^2 -2nx +n^2)/4 = (x^3 -2nx^2 +xn^2)/4
This will be maximized where its derivative is zero:
p' = (1/4)(3x^2 -4nx +n^2) = 0
(3x -n)(x -n) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor
x = n/3 or n
We know that x=n will give a minimum product (0), so the maximum product is obtained when x = n/3.
<h3>more parts</h3>
A similar development can prove by induction that the parts must all be equal.
Answer:
The Cost of wallet was $26.30.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total billed after redeeming voucher = $34.45
Voucher worth = $5
We need to find the cost of Wallet.
Solution:
Let the amount paid for groceries be 'x'.
Now Given:
She purchases a wallet that amounted to double the price she paid for the groceries she bought.
Cost of wallet = 
Now to find the cost of wallet we will consider the amount before redeeming the voucher.
Hence Total bill before redeeming the voucher = 
Now We can say that;
Total bill is equal to sum of Cost of wallet and Cost of groceries.
framing in equation form we get;
Dividing both side by 3 we get;
Cost paid for groceries = $13.15
Cost paid for wallet = 
Hence the Cost of wallet was $26.30.
As division is the inverse of multiplication, the rules for division are the same as the rules for multiplication. So when multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers remember this: If the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.
Answer:
0.350
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval = point estimate ± margin of error
Point estimate = Confidence interval - margin of error
To get the margin of error, we will take the average of the difference of the interval given. Given the confidence interval 0.325<p<0.375
Margin of error = 0.375-0.325/2
Margin of error = 0.050/2
Margin of error = 0.025
Using the interval of 0.375
Point estimate = 0.375 - 0.025
Point estimate = 0.350
