Answer:
The steps are numbered below
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a maximum/minimum problem, the steps are as follows.
1. Make a drawing.
2. Assign variables to quantities that change.
3. Identify and write down a formula for the quantity that is being optimized.
4. Identify the endpoints, that is, the domain of the function being optimized.
5. Identify the constraint equation.
6. Use the constraint equation to write a new formula for the quantity being optimized that is a function of one variable.
7. Find the derivative and then the critical points of the function being optimized.
8. Evaluate the y-values of the critical points and endpoints by plugging them into the function being optimized. The largest y- value is the global maximum, and the smallest y-value is the global minimum.
You idiot you answered your own question!
If you make a proportion,
12 18
--- = ---
10 x
when you cross multiply
12x=180
x=15
EF= 15
If 68 is a prime number, then the only factors it has are 1 and 68.
If it has any other factors besides 1 and 68, then it's NOT prime.
Right away, without any higher math, you can look at just the last digit
in 68 . The last digit is '8'. That tells you that '68' is an even number,
and THAT tells you that '2' must be one of its factors. So '68' is not a
prime number.
The factors of 68 are 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, and 68 .
68 has four more factors besides 1 and 68, so it's not a prime number.
2x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0
2x^2 + 4x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1
2x^2 + 4x = -1
X(2x + 4) = -1
X = -1.
2x + 4 = -1
2x + 4 - 4 = -1 - 4
2x = -5
2x/2 = -5/2
X = -5/2.
I believe these are the solutions. If not you can use the quadratic formula to solve for the roots, solutions.
