Answer: the actual length and width of the room is 24ft by 36ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the architectural plans for a new house is 1 in. equals 4 ft. This means that every 1 inch on the on the architectural plan represents 4 feet on the actual building.

Therefore, if the length of the room as measured on the drawing is 6 inches, the actual length of the room will be

6 × 4 = 24 feet

Also, if the width of the room as measured on the drawing is 9 inches, the actual width of the room will be

9 × 4 = 36 feet

[25 POINTS] The approximate change in the value of f(x) = sqrt(2(x-1)) at x = 3 using differentials with dx = 0.01 is

Answer:

$\frac{1}{200}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find the derivative of the function when x=3</u>

<u /> $y=\sqrt{2(x-1)}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2(x-1)}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2(3-1)}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2(2)}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2}$

Since the change in the value of the function is $dy$ and we know that the change in x is $dx=0.01$ , then we have:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2}$

$dy=\frac{1}{2}dx$

$dy=\frac{1}{2}(0.01)$

$dy=\frac{1}{200}$

Therefore, the 2nd option is correct

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

kenny6666 [7]

Given:

The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation

$y=-29x^2+1388x-10040$

To find:

The maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar.

Solution:

If a quadratic equation is $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ , then the vertex is

$Vertex=\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right)$

If a>0, then vertex is the minimum point and if a<0, then the vertex is the maximum point.

We have,

$y=-29x^2+1388x-10040$

Here, $a=-29,b=1388, c=-10040$ . Clearly, a<0. So, the vertex is the point of maxima.

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{2(-29)}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{1388}{-58}$

$-\dfrac{b}{2a}\approx 23.931$

Putting x=23.931 in the given equation, we get

$y=-29(23.931)^2+1388(23.931)-10040$

$y=-16608.09+33216.228-10040$

$y=6568.138$

The vertex is at (23.931,6568.138).

Therefore, the maximum profit is $6568.138 when x=23.931.

Which is a solution to the equation 6x + y = –4?

KatRina [158]

1. Make y the subject of the equation
y = -4 - 6x

2. Substitute values for guess and check
8 = -4 - (6 x 2)
8 = -4 - 12
This is incorrect.

2 = -4 - (6 x 1)
2 = -4 -6
This is incorrect.

-10 = -4 - (6 x 1)
-10 = -4 -6
This is correct.

The correct answer is C.
