1.  Find the equation of the line AB.  For reference, the answer is y=(-2/3)x+2.
2.  Derive a formula for the area of the shaded rectange.  It is A=xy (where x is the length and y is the height).
3.  Replace "y" in A=xy with the formula for y:  y= (-2/3)x+2:
       
                 A=x[(-2/3)x+2]    This is a formula for Area A in terms of x only.
4.  Since we want to maximize the shaded area, we take the derivative with respect to x of    A=x[(-2/3)x+2] , or, equivalently, A=(-2/3)x^2 + 2x.
This results in   (dA/dx) = (-4/3)x + 2.
5.  Set this result = to 0 and solve for the critical value:  

(dA/dx) = (-4/3)x + 2=0, or (4/3)x=2   This results in x=(3/4)(2)=3/2

6.  Verify that this critical value x=3/2 does indeed maximize the area function.
7.  Determine the area of the shaded rectangle for x=3/2, using the previously-derived formula          A=(-2/3)x^2 + 2x.

The result is the max. area of the shaded rectangle.

Solve the Equation p+5/8=15/16?
Sphinxa [80]
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get: 
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!

What is the gradient?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Gradient = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Gradient of a line = Slope of the line

Since, slope of a line passing through two points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by,

Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given line in the graph passes through two points (1, 0) and (2, 2)

Therefore, slope or gradient of the line = \frac{2-0}{2-1}

                                                                  = 2

Gradient = 2 will be the answer.
