Find two positive numbers such that the sum of the first and twice the second is 56 and whose product is a maximum

1 answer:

5 0

Let
x-------> the first number
y-------> the second number
P-----> product

we know that
x+2y=56----------> 2y=56-x-----> y=28-0.5x------> equation 1
P=x*y----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
P=x*[28-0.5x]-----> P=28x-0.5x²

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the vertex is the point (28,392)
that means
for x=28
the product is 392 (maximum)
find the value of y
y=28-0.5x----> y=28-0.5*28----> y=14

the answer is
the numbers are 28 and 14

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Given:

Rectangular room is 10 feet; and

1 x 1 ft tiles

The expression for this problem would be:

If we know that the width is w, while the length is w + 10, therefore the perimeter is 2w + 2 (w + 10), so you need 4w + 20 - 4, or 4w + 16 tiles. Since you do not want to count the corners, twice.
