There are 2 short sides x and 1 long side y.
x+x+y=1,800
2x+y=1,800
y=1,800-2x
The area of the rectangle is A=x(1,800-x).
A is a function with variable x. Moreover it is a quadratic (second degree) function.
The graph of the function is a parabola which opens downwards, because the signs of the leading coefficients of the factors, multiply to minus:
(x)(-x)=-x^2.
This means that the highest point of the parabola, is its vertex V(h,k), so the function takes its largest value for x=h.
The roots of A=x(1,800-x) are x=0 and x=1,800, thus the x coordinate of the vertex, must be the midpoint of 0 and 1,800, that is 900.
Answer:
A=x(1,800-x)
largest area is when x=900
Answer:
-0.5, 2, 4.5, 7, 9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given terms are 6 apart, so the common difference is 1/6 of their difference:
d = (12 -(-3))/6 = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5
Add 2.5 to each term to get the next one. Then the sequence is ...
-3, <u>-0.5</u>, <u>2.0</u>, <u>4.5</u>, <u>7.0</u>, <u>9.5</u>, 12
Answer: <em>(1,5,7,10,11,15)</em>
To get the union of two sets of numbers, all you do is combine the numbers from least to greatest. If a number repeats in the 2 sets, you only put it once.
Answer: a
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply each answer by 10
Vertical compression of a function is moving the graph of the function towards the x axis.
It is done by multiplying F(x) with IaI<1, the absolute value of a is less than 1. Then we get f(x)=a*F(x).
If we have a function F(x)=x, and we multiply it by a=1/2, we get:
f(x)=a*F(x)=a*x=(1/2)*x.
This linear function is vertically compressed because the the graph of a new function is closer to the x axis.
