Given two numbers x and y such that:
x + y = 12 ... (1)
<span>two numbers will maximize the product g</span>
from equation (1)
y = 12 - x
Using this value of y, we represent xy as
xy = f(x)= x(12 - x)
f(x) = 12x - x^2
Differentiating the above function:
f'(x) = 12 - 2x
Maximum value of f(x) occurs at point for which f'(x) = 0.
Equating f'(x) to 0 we get:
12 - 2x = 0
2x = 12
> x = 12/2 = 6
Substituting this value of x in equation (2):
y = 12 - 6 = 6
Therefore, value of xy is maximum when:
x = 6 and y = 6
The maximum value of xy = 6*6 = 36
Your answer is 9.
Since you have
2(2)^2 you get 2(4) which is 8.
Then you have -3(2) which is -6.
Lastly you have the 7.
When you add it up you get.
9
Divide 2/3 by 3/64 and you will get the number of cups of punch. It doesn't come out evenly, but that's the way to do this.there is a total of 2/3 gallon of punch. Each guests has a cup of 3/64 gallon of punch. Now many 3/64 gallon of punch can you fit in 2/3 gallon of punch, that will tell you how many guests there are. so naturally we want to divide<span> ( 2/3 ) / ( 3/64).</span>
-3 1/2 because if you do 2.8 times 1 and 1/4 you get 3.5 and 3.5 as a fraction is 3 1/2
You can buy 5 bottles because $4 times 5 equals $20. I hope this helps :)
