This is a bit of algebra.. you do not know either side so the width you will label x and the length you will label x +8. we know that if you add all 4 sides, you will have 256 feet. x + x + (x+8) + (x+8)=256  4x+16=256, Subtract 16 from both sides and you have 4x=240. divide by 4 on both sides and you get. x=60.. That makes the width = 60ft and the length = 68ft

The line parallel to x-3y=-12 that passes through (-3,4)
gulaghasi [49]
X-3y=12
3y=x-12
y=1/3x-4
parallel means same gradient, which is 1/3.
Use formula y-y1=m(x-x1), m=gradient and y1 is y coordinate of point and x1 is x coordinate of point.
y-4=1/3[x-(-3)]
y-4=x/3+1
y=x/3+5

Find two positive numbers whose sum is 100 and the sum of whose squares is a minimum.
vfiekz [6]
Let the two required numbers be x and 100 - x, then
Sum of its squares is given by S = x^2 + (100 - x)^2
For the sum of the squares to be minimum, dS/dx = 0

dS/dx = 2x - 2(100 - x) = 0
2x - 200 + 2x = 0
4x = 200
x = 50.

The two numbers is 50 and 50.
