A Web music store offers two versions of a popular song. The size of the standard version is 2.1 megabytes (MB). The size of the

liq [111]

If the number of downloads of the standard version is x, and the high quality is x, 2.1*x+4.1*y=2761 (not 1010 due to that this is multiplied by 2.1 and 4.1, therefore representing the total amount of megabytes) In addition, there are 1010 total downloads, and it's either 2.1 MB or 4.1 MB, so x+y=1010.

We have
2.1x+4.1y=2761
x+y=1010

Multiplying the second equation by -2.1 and adding it to the first equation, we get 2y=2761-1010*2.1=640 and by dividing both sides by 2 we get y=320 downloads of the high quality version

You have 42 ft. of fencing (1 ft. segments) to make a rectangular garden. How much should each side be to maximize your total ar

Verizon [17]

Answer:

$Length=10.5\ ft$

$Width=10.5\ ft$

$Area=110.25\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of the rectangular garden

y---> the width of the rectangular garden

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to

$P=2(x+y)$

we have

$P=42\ ft$

so

$42=2(x+y)$

simplify

$21=(x+y)$

$y=21-x$ ------> equation A

Remember that the area of rectangle is equal to

$A=xy$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$A=x(21-x)$

$A=21x-x^{2}$ ----> this is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum area

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length side of the rectangle that maximize the area

using a graphing tool

The vertex is the point $(10.5,110.25)$

see the attached figure

so

$x=10.5\ ft$

Find the value of y

$y=21-10.5=10.5\ ft$

The garden is a square

the area is equal to

$A=(10.5)(10.5)=110.25\ ft^{2}$ ----> is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex is correct
