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

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

Answer:

  • 8.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed in the morning be s, then in the evening it is s - 4

<u>The distance is equal both directions:</u>

  • 45 min *s = 1 hr 10 min *(s - 4)

<u>Time in hours:</u>

  • 45*1/60*s = (1 + 10*1/60)(s - 4)
  • 3/4s = 7/6s - 7/6*4

<u>Multiply all terms by 12 to clear fraction:</u>

  • 9s = 14s - 56
  • 5s = 56
  • s = 56/5
  • s= 11.2 mph

<u>The distance is:</u>

  • 3/4*11.2 = 0.75*11.2 = 8.4 miles

In the rhombus m&lt;1 =160. What are m&lt;2 and m&lt;3? The diagram isn't drawn to scale
Zolol [24]
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides and two sets of equal angles.

If the m<1=160°, then the angle opposite (3) would also be 160°.

m<3=160°.

Becuase it is a parallelogram, the sum of the measurment of two angles that share a line would be 180 (supplementary).

m<2 and m<4 is 20°.

600+15y=750.<br> solve for y<br> can I as well have the way you solved for y?
Pie
1.)subtract 600 from 750 in order to simplify
2.)divide by 15 on both sides to get y alone. Doing this cancels the 15 on the y and makes the right side equal 10
3.)y=10
