a rectangle of perimeter 100 units has the dimensions shown. Its area is given by the function A = w(50 - w). What is the GREATE

ST area such a rectangle can have? Please explain all steps written, there are parts such as 50W -W^2 and it ends up turning into the next part how?

If A=w(50-w)

A=50w-w^2

dA/dw=50-2w

d2A/dw2=-2

Since the acceleration is a constant negative, that means that when velocity, dA/dw=0, it is at an absolute maximum for A(w)...

dA/d2=0 only when 50=2w, w=25

So as the case with any rectangle, the perfect square will enclose the greatest area possible with respect to a given amount of material to enclose that area...

So the greatest area occurs when W=L=25 in this case:

A(25)=50w-w^2

Area maximum is thus:

Amax=50(25)-(25)^2=625 u^2

Suppose the mean height for adult males in the U.S. is about 70 inches and the standard deviation is about 3 inches. Assume men’
nlexa [21]

Question options :

a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

b. They should be close to the height that is 95% of the mean. That is, 66.5 inches, plus or minus 2 standard deviations.

c. They should be at or below the 95th percentile, which is 74.92 inches.

d. None of the above.

Answer: a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Assume men's height follow a normal curve ; and :

Mean height = 70 inches

Standard deviation= 3 inches

According to the empirical rule ;

Assuming a normal distribution with x being random variables ;

About 68% of x-values lie between -1 to 1 standard deviation of the mean. With about 95% of the x values lying between - 2 and +2 standard deviation of mean. With 99.7% falling between - 3 to 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Using the empirical rule :

95% will fall between + or - 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Lower limit = - 2(3) = - 6

Upper limit = 2(3) = 6

(-6+mean) and (+6+ mean)

(-6 + 70) and (6+70)

64 and 76

How do you do this problem?? I'm very confused
Mamont248 [21]
You have to multiply by the complex conjugate so that you can clear the radical from the denominator. Once you do the multiplication simplify the radical. There's still a common factor in -54, -18, & 75 so divide all those by 3.
