You can plug -x - 1 for y in the first equation

2x - (-x - 1) = 10

2x + x + 1 = 10

Combine

3x = 9

Divide

x = 3

Plug 3 for x in any equation ( I'll use th second equation )

y = - (3) - 1

y = - 3 - 1 = -4

x = 3 ; y = -4

(3, -4)

2x - y = 10 .............(a)

y = -x - 1 ...........(b)

Substitute y = - x - 1 into equation (a)

<span>2x - y = 10
</span>
2x - (-x - 1) = 10

2x + x + 1 = 10

3x + 1 = 10

3x = 10 - 1

3x = 9

x = 9/3 = 3. x = 3

Recall, y = -x - 1 = -3 - 1 = -4

Hence solution (x, y) = (3, -4)

A manufacturer wants to make open tin boxes from pieces of tin with dimensions 8 in. by 15 in. by cutting equal squares from the

Stells [14]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the side of square.

Length of box=8-2x

Width of box=15-2x

Height of box=x

Volume of box= $L\times B\times H$

Substitute the values then we get

Volume of box=V(x)= $(8-2x)(15-2x)x=(15x-2x^2)(8-2x)$

$V(x)=120x-30x^2-16x^2+4x^3$

$V(x)=4x^3-46x^2+120x$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$V'(x)=12x^2-92x+120$

$V'(x)=0$

$12x^2-92x+120=0$

$3x^2-23x+30=0$

$3x^2-18x-5x+30=0$

$3x(x-6)-5(x-6)=0$

$(x-6)(3x-5)=0$

$x-6=0\implies x=6$

$3x-5=0\implies x=\frac{5}{3}$

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$V''(x)=24x-92$

Substitute x=6

$V''(6)=24(6)-92=52>0$

Substitute x=5/3

$V''(5/3)=24(5/3)-92=-52$

Hence, the volume is maximum at x= $\frac{5}{3}$

Therefore, the side of the square , $x=\frac{5}{3}$ in cutout that gives the box the largest possible volume.

1) Where is the midpoint of , when A (6, 7) and B (-9, -5)?

lord [1]

Answer:

(−1.5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the distance, midpoint, slope, equation and the x y-intercepts of a line passing between the two points p1 (6,7) and p2 (-9,-5)

The distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √ ((X2-X1)2+(Y2-Y1)2)

d = √ (-9-6)2+(-5-7)2

d = √ ((-15)2+(-12)2)

d = √ (225+144)

d = √ 369

The distance between the points is 19.2093727122985

The midpoint of two points is given by the formula

Midpoint= ((X1+X2)/2,(Y1+Y2)/2)

Find the x value of the midpoint

Xm=(X1+X2)/2

Xm=(6+-9)/2=-1.5

Find the Y value of the midpoint

Ym=(Y1+Y2)/2

Ym=(7+-5)/2=1

The midpoint is: (-1.5,1)
