So hmmm, notice the picture below

the perimeter is just w + w + l or 2w+l

thus  \bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\
A=lw\qquad 4800-2w=l\implies A(w)=(4800-2w)w
\\\\\\
A(w)=4800w-2w^2

take the derivative of A(w), then zero it out to get the critical points, and do a first-derivative test on the critical points for any maxima between 0 and 4800

Between 1965 and 1980, the world population grew at an annual rate of 2%. Using the rule of 72, population is expected to double
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The population is expected to double in 36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the the rule of 72,

A value is doubled if the product of the annual rate and number of years is 72,

Given,

The annual rate of interest = 2%

Let x be the time in years after 1965,

By the above statement,

The population will double if,

x × 2 = 72 ⇒ x = 36

Hence, the after 36 years since 1965 the population will be doubled,

i.e in 2001.   ( ∵ 36 years after 1965 )

Special right triangles <br><br> Find the value of each missing variable
Shalnov [3]

Hi!

Rules for solving 30-60-90 triangles are as follows:

* The hypotenuse is double the short leg.

* The short leg times √3 is the long leg

To solve then, we divide 4√21 by √3 and get 4√7. That is x, and to get y we multiply by 2. That is 8√7.

Hope this helps! :D

Suppose that y varies directly with x, and y=15 when x=24. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. Find y when x
Lapatulllka [165]

Just set up a proportion with the original numbers and then the numbers you want to find like so: (x1/y1)=(x2/y2) and since you want to find the second y value, just leave y as a variable like so: (15/24)=(3/y) after this just cross multiply and get the answer: 15y=72.....y=4.8
