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 following system of equations by substation.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

C. (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the 2 equations:

5y= 7x +22 -----(1)

x= -6y +17 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

5y= 7(-6y +17) +22

5y= -42y +119 +22 <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em> </em><em>bracket</em><em>)</em>

5y= -42y +141 <em>(</em><em>Simplify</em><em>)</em>

42y +5y= 141 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>42y</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

47y= 141

y= 141 ÷47 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>4</em><em>7</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

y= 3

Substitute y= 3 into (2):

x= -6(3) +17

x= -18 +17

x= -1

Thus, the solution is (-1, 3).

Determine the values of a for which the following system of linear equations has no solutions, a unique solution, or infinitely
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Never

Never

Never

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations given are

2x1−6x2−4x3 = 6 ....... (1)

−x1+ax2+4x3 = −1 ........(2)

2x1−5x2−2x3 = 9 ..........(3)

the values of a for which the system of linear equations has no solutions

Let first add equation 1 and 2. Also equation 2 and 3. This will result to

X1 + (a X2 - 6X2) - 0 = 5

And

X1 + (aX2-5X2) + 2X3 = 8

Since X2 and X3 can't be cancelled out, we conclude that the value of a is never.

a unique solution,

Let first add equation 1 and 2. Also equation 2 and 3. This will result to

X1 + (a X2 - 6X2) - 0 = 5

And

X1 + (aX2-5X2) + 2X3 = 8

The value of a = never

infinitely many solutions. 

Divide equation 1 by 2 we will get

X1 - 3X2 - 2X3 =3

Add the above equation with equation 3. This will result to

3X1 - 8X2 - 4X3 = 12

Everything ought to be the same. Since they're not.

Value of a = never.
