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

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Triangle UVW map to triangle XYZ where Triangle UVWhas side Lengths 3,4,2, and triangle XYZ has lengths 14,28,21.

We know that the scale factor between two similar figures is the the ratio of the corresponding side of image to the original figure.

Let k be the scale factor.

Then,

$k=\frac{21}{3}=\frac{14}{2}=\frac{28}{4}=7\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=7$

Hence, the scale factor = 7
