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

What is the best approximation of the solutions to the system to the nearest integer values?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The first number in the couplet is the distance along the x-axis (i.e. distance from the y-axis).  We can read 0.8 from the graph.
The second number is the distance along the y-axis (i.e.distance from the x-axis).  We can read 6.7 from the graph.

So approximately, we have the point as (0.8, 6.7).
Round the numbers to the nearest integer and you'll get the required answer choice.
