Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The dimensions are 6 by 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculus answer:

2x +2y= 24

xy= A

2x=24-2y

x=12-y

(12-y)(y)= 12y- y^2

the Derivative is = 12-2y

Then set that equal to zero 0=12-2y

-12=-2y

y=6

Confirm that 6 is a maximum by using a wiggle graph

wiggle graph -∞<---inc--6---dec-->∞

6 is a maximum

plug into original equation

2x + 2(6)=24

2x+12=24

2x=12

x=6

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

y=6

x=6

A chemist has 10% and 40% solutions of acid available. How many liters of each solution should be mixed to obtain 120 liters of
kaheart [24]

Answer:

100 liters of  10% solution is used and 20 liters of  40% solution is used

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "X" amount of 10% solution is used. Then the amount of 40% solution used is equal to 120-X

Now

10% of X + 40% of (120-X) = 15% of 120

On solving the above equation, we get

0.1 X + 0.4 (120-X) = 0.15 *120\\0.1 X + 48 -0.4X = 18\\0.3 X = 30\\X = 100liters

Amount of 40% solution used  = 120 -X = 120-100 = 20 liters

100 liters of  10% solution is used and 20 liters of  40% solution is used
