Length (L): w + 3            ⇒2(w + 3)

width (w): w                    ⇒ w - 1

Area (A) = L x w

         A = (w + 3)(w)

         A = w² + 3w

*******************************************

       A + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

(w² + 3w) + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)

w² + 3w + 176 = 2w² + 4w - 6

        3w + 176 = w² + 4w - 6

                 176 = w² + w - 6          

                   0 = w² + w - 182

                   0 = (w - 13) (w + 14)

0 = w - 13            0 = w + 14

w = 13                  w = -14

Since width cannot be negative, disregard -14

w = 13

Length (L): w + 3   = (13) + 3   = 16

Answer: width = 13 in, length = 16 in

Let f(x) = xe^-x+ ce^-x, where c is a positive constant. For what positive value of c does f have an absolute
Illusion [34]

Answer:

c=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute maximum of a continuous function f(x) is where f'(x)=0. Therefore, we must differentiate the function and then set x=-5 and f'(x)=0 to determine the value of c:

f(x)=xe^{-x}+ce^{-x}

f'(x)=-xe^{-x}+e^{-x}-ce^{-x}

0=-(-5)e^{-(-5)}+e^{-(-5)}-ce^{-(-5)}

0=5e^{5}+e^{5}-ce^{5}

0=e^5(5+1-c)

0=6-c

c=6

Therefore, when c=6, the absolute maximum of the function is x=-5.

I've attached a graph to help you visually see this.

You plan to go snowboarding. The resort charges $15 an hour in addition to $25 to rent a board. Write an equation that represent
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

6 Hours

Explanation:

Linear Equation: mx+b=y

x variable: Hour

Hourly Fee: $15(x)

(Initial) Rent Fee: $25

Balance: $100

Equation:

15x+25=100

15x+25-25=100-25 -- <em>Separate the constant terms from the x by subtracting 25 from both sides.</em>

15x=100

15x/15=100/15 --<em> Isolate the x variable by dividing 15 from both sides.</em>

x=6.6.. <em>-- Round down to 6 (not 7) because you can't afford to snowboard for 7 hours with less than $15. </em>

x=6 Hours

The total cost for plumber number 1 expressed as a function of x is

c1(x)=45x+90

That is, the charge per hour times the number of hours plus the fixed charge for a visit.

Using the same pattern, write the function for the second plumber. Then set the two functions equal to each other and solve for
