The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 80
 The area is:
 A = x * y
 The area as a function of a variable is:
 A (x) = x * (40-x)
 Rewriting we have:
 A (x) = 40x-x ^ 2
 We derive the function:
 A '(x) = 40-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 40-2x = 0
 2x = 40
 x = 40/2
 x = 20 feet
 The other dimension is:
 y = 40 - x
 y = 40 - 20
 y = 20 feet
 The area will be:
 A = x * y
 A = 20 * 20
 A = 400 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The dimensions are:
 
x = 20 feet
 
y = 20 feet
 
The area is:
 
A = 400 feet ^ 2

The rate of change of the relationship is 6/5

<h3>Rate of change of a line</h3>

The rate of change of a line is also known as the slope of the line. The formula for calculating the slope of a line is expressed as:

Slope =y2-y1/x2-x1

Given the coordinate points (-3,-2) and (2, 4). On substituting;

Slope = 4-(-2)/2-(-3)

Slope =4+2/2+3

Slope = 6/5

Hence the rate of change of the relationship is 6/5

The grade point averages (GPA) for 12 randomly selected college students are shown on the right. Complete parts (a) through (c)
Ilya [14]

Answer:

\bar X =\frac{2.3+3.1+2.8+1.7+0.9+4+2.1+1.2+3.6+0.2+2.4+3.2}{12}=2.29

s=1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

2.3 3.1 2.8

1.7 0.9 4.0

2.1 1.2 3.6

0.2 2.4 3.2

Since the data are assumedn normally distributed we can find the standard deviation with the following formula:

\sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n}}

And we need to find the mean first with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X =\frac{2.3+3.1+2.8+1.7+0.9+4+2.1+1.2+3.6+0.2+2.4+3.2}{12}=2.29

And then we can calculate the deviation and we got:

s=1.09

Naya [18.7K]

Number of widgets needed to make one motor = 11

Number of motors made each day = 4

Number of widgets used per day :-

= 4 × 11

= 44 widgets

Number of widgets I need to order for the next five days of the upcoming week :-

= 44 × 5

= 220 widgets

Therefore , my team should order 220 widgets for the next week ( 5 working days ) .
