Answer:

Dimensions: A=a\cdot b=256

Perimiter: P=2a+2b

Minimum perimeter: [16,16]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of optimization with constraints.

We can define the rectangle with two sides of size "a" and two sides of size "b".

The area of the rectangle can be defined then as:

A=a\cdot b=256

This is the constraint.

To simplify and as we have only one constraint and two variables, we can express a in function of b as:

b=\frac{256}{a}

The function we want to optimize is the diameter.

We can express the diameter as:

P=2a+2b=2a+2*\frac{256}{a}

To optimize we can derive the function and equal to zero.

dP/da=2+2\cdot (-1)\cdot\frac{256}{a^2}=0\\\\\frac{512}{a^2}=2\\\\a=\sqrt{512/2}= \sqrt {256} =16\\\\b=256/a=256/16=16

The minimum perimiter happens when both sides are of size 16 (a square).

Charles will babysit for up to 4 hours and charges $7 per hour. Write a function in function notation for this situation.
I am Lyosha [343]
Assume Charles charges $7*3=$21 if he babysits for 2,5 hours (that is 2 and a half hours).

That is we are not considering Charles babysitting exactly 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours, but also in between times.


then we can write the following piecewise function to describe the situation:


f is a function from (0, 4] to {$7, $14, $21, $28}

f(x)=\begin{cases} &#10;      \$7 & if \enspace \enspace x\leq 1 \\&#10;      \$14 & if \enspace \enspace 1\ \textless \  x\leq 2 \\&#10;      \$21 & if \enspace\enspace 2\ \textless \ x\leq 3 \\&#10;      \$28 & if \enspace\enspace 3\ \textless \ x\leq 4 \&#10;   \end{cases}
