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

Mathematics

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

Georgia [21]
First, let's use distributive property and expand this equation:

<span>0.25 (y-4)+0.07=0.22y-0.05 (60)
</span>0.25y - 1 + 0.07= 0.22y - 3

Now, isolate the values of y and solve!

0.25y - 1 + 0.07= 0.22y - 3
  0.25y - 0.22y = 1 - 0.07 - 3
               0.03y = -2.07
                      y = -69

Hope this helps!
