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.

uysha [10]
Rewriting the question, the given lengths that were cut from the board were 30 3/4 inches, 12 1/4 inches, and 16 1/4 inches. To obtain the remaining length of the board, all of the measurements cut are to be added and subtracted from 72 inches. This is shown below:

30 3/4 + 12 1/4 + 16 1/4 = 237/4 = 59.25 inches.

Remaining length of board = 72 - 59.25 = 12.75 inches.

Therefore, there will be 12.75 inches remaining of the board.

Drag steps of the solution into order to solve for x in the equation 9(x + 3) = 108.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Given expression is,

9(x+3) = 108

In solving the equation the steps are as follows,

Step 1 : 9x + 27 = 108      ( By distributive property )

Step 2 : 9x = 81               ( Subtracting 108 on both sides )

Step 3 : x = 9                   ( Divide both sides by 9)

Hence, by the above explanation we can drag the steps of solution in correct order.
