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.
Slope formula
y2-y1/x2-x1
5-3/2-4
2/-2
-1 = slope
y=-1x+b
5=-1(2)+b
5=-2+b
b=7
Your answer:
y= -1x + 7
The equation for Louis's purchase is: 
The equation for Kate's purchase is: 
The equation for Biff's purchase is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all we have to define variables for each item involved in the purchase
Let x represent burger
y represent soda
z be the slice of pizza
Then
"Louis bought a burger and soda for $8"
"Kate purchased a slice of pizza and soda for $9"
"Biff purchased a burger, a slice of pizza and a soda for $13.50"
The equation for Louis's purchase is:
The equation for Kate's purchase is:
The equation for Biff's purchase is:
