For this case we must find the current height of Osian. For this, we use the following rule of three:

1.5 m ----------------> 100%

x -----------------------> 120%

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

x = \frac {120} {100} (1.5)\\x = 1.8 m

Answer:

The current height of Osian is given by:

x = 1.8 m

Which property would be used to show that the product of two rational is always rational
KatRina [158]

You multiply two rational numbers by multiplying numerators and denominators with each other. So, you have

\dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{ac}{bd}

A rational number is a fraction where both numerator and denominator are integers. Since the product of two integers is an integer, the result fraction is also a rational number, because both ac and bd are integers.

Find positive numbers x and y satisfying the equation xyequals12 such that the sum 4xplusy is as small as possible. Let S be the
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The objective function in terms of one​ number, x is

S(x) = 4x + (12/x)

The values of x and y that minimum the sum are √3 and 4√3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive numbers, x and y

x × y = 12

xy = 12

S(x,y) = 4x + y

We plan to minimize the sum subject to the constraint (xy = 12)

We can make y the subject of formula in the constraint equation

y = (12/x)

Substituting into the objective function,

S(x,y) = 4x + y

S(x) = 4x + (12/x)

We can then find the minimum.

At minimum point, (dS/dx) = 0 and (d²S/dx²) > 0

(dS/dx) = 4 - (12/x²) = 0

4 - (12/x²) = 0

(12/x²) = 4

4x² = 12

x = √3

y = 12/√3 = 4√3

To just check if this point is truly a minimum

(d²S/dx²) = (24/x³) = (8/√3) > 0 (minimum point)
