Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is constructed with its base on the x axis and two of its vertices on the parabola

y=100-x^2

This parabola has vertex at (0,100) and symmetrical about y axis.

Any general point above x axis can be written as (a,b) (-a,b) since symmetrical about yaxis.  

Hence coordinates of any rectangle are

(a,0) (-a,0), (a, 100-a^2), (-a, 100-a^2)

Length of rectangle = 2a and width = 100-a^2

Area of rectangle = lw = 2a(100-a^2)=200a-400a^3

To find max area, use derivative test.

A' = 200-800a^2\\A"=-1600a

Hence maxima when first derivative =0

i.e. when a =2

Thus we find dimensions of the rectangle are l =4 and w = 96

Maximum area = 4(96) = 384

I need answers fast<br> Solve x/12+1/3=−5/3.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation: Please brainliest!

Subtract 1/3 from both sides of the equation.

x/12 + 1/3 = 5/3

x/12 + 1/3 - 1/3 = -5/3 - 1/3

-----------------------------------------------------------

Simplify and subtract the numbers.

x/12 = 2

-----------------------------------------------------------

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators.

x/12 = -2

12 . x/12 = 12 (-2)

------------------------------------------------------------

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator.

12 . x/12 = 12 (-2)

x = 12 (-2)

------------------------------------------------------------

Multiply the numbers.

x = 12 (-2)

x = -24

Answer x = -24

Fed [463]

Answer: Charles bought a used car and later sold it for a 20% profit. If he sold it for $4680, how much did Charles pay for the car?

---------------------------

Let the price he paid equal "x".

EQUATION:

x + 0.20x = 4680

1.2x = 4680

x = $3900 (price he paid for the car.

4+n divided by 43+n equals to 1/3 what is n?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

n = 15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+n)/(43+n) =1/3

3(4+n)= 1*(43 + n)

12 + 3n = 43 + n

3n - n = 43 - 12

2n = 31

n = 31/2= 15.5
