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

Buying one movie ticket online costs $16.50. Two tickets cost $30.50. Assuming that the relationship is linear, use the drop dow
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

C(n)=14n+2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n -----> number of tickets

C ----> represent the cost of buy n tickets online

we have the ordered pairs

(1,16.50) and (2,30.50)

<em>Find out the slope of the linear equation</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{C2-C1}{n2-n1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{30.50-16.50}{2-1}

m=14

<em>Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form</em>

C=m(n)+b

we have

m=14

point(1,16.50)

substitute

16.50=14(1)+b

b=16.50-14

1b=2.50

substitute

C(n)=14n+2.50

The domain of the function is all positive integers (whole numbers) including zero

{0,1,2,3,4,...}
