Given a rectangle with a perimeter of 24 inches, why dimensions maximize the area?

Mathematics
1 answer:
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

M is the midpoint of segment CS. C is at (-8, 2) M is at the origin. What are the coordinates of S?
ahrayia [7]
C(-8,2) and M(0,0) , since M is at the origin. Let x₁ and y₁ be the
coordinates of S →s(x₁ , y₁)

C(-8,2) and S(x₁ , y₁)
The coordinates of M, the midpoint of CS are M(x₂ , y₂)

a) x₂ = (-8 + x₁)/2 , but x₂ = 0, then :
0 = -4+x₁/2 and x₁ = 8

b) y₂ = (2+y₁)/2 , but y₂ = o, then:
0 = 2+ y₁/2  and y₂ = -2

Then the coordinates of  S are S(8 , -2)

A stray dog ate 25 of your muffins that was 5/6 of all of them with how many did you start?
Maru [420]

Answer:

30 = total muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many muffins were eaten, we take the total muffins times the fraction that were eaten

eaten muffins = total muffins * fraction

25 = total muffins* 5/6

Multiply each side by 6/5

6/5*25 = total muffins *5/6*6/5

30 = total muffins

If x = 5, find the value of<br> a) x2<br> b) (x + 3)2
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: a) = 10

b) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

a) as x = 5 so putting the value of x in given equation

5 multiplied by 2 is equal to 10

b) Putting value of x in given equation

= (5 + 3) 2

According to BODMAS solve the brackets first

= 8 x 2

= 16
