Find two positive numbers a and b (witha≤b) whose sum is 88 and whose product is maximized.

1 answer:

3 0

a + b = 88 

ab = y

a = 88 - b

y = (88 - b)*b
 y = -b^2 + 88b

Take the derivative and set equal to 0

y' = -2b + 88 = 0

2b = 88
 b = 44

a=44

both numbers are 44

Write an equation parallel to the line determined by the points (15, -6) and (-3, 13), through: (4, 2)

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

That's

Slope of the through points

(15, -6) and (-3, 13) is

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

So slope of parallel line = - 19/18

Equation of the line using point (4,2) and slope -19/18 is

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
