Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

Area = 128

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

Length = x

Width = y

So:

Area = x * y

Substitute 128 for Area

128 = x * y

Make x the subject

x = \frac{128}{y}

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

Length = x + 1 + 1

Length = x + 2

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

Width = y + 2 + 2

Width = y + 4

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)

Substitute \frac{128}{y} for x

A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)

Open Brackets

A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8

Collect Like Terms

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128

A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136

A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

Set

A' = 0

This gives:

0 = -512y^{-2} + 2

Collect Like Terms

512y^{-2} = 2

Multiply through by y^2

y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2

512 = 2y^2

Divide through by 2

256=y^2

Take square roots of both sides

\sqrt{256=y^2

16=y

y = 16

Recall that:

x = \frac{128}{y}

x = \frac{128}{16}

x = 8

Recall that the new dimensions are:

Length = x + 2

Width = y + 4

So:

Length = 8 + 2

Length = 10

Width = 16 + 4

Width = 20

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

A' = -512y^{-2} + 2

A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}

A" = 1024y^{-3}

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}

The above value is:

A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

Ethan rolls a 6-sided die. What is the probability that he gets a number greater than 4 or an even number?
Marrrta [24]
Well,

The probability will be the number of favorable outcomes over the total number of outcomes.

The number of favorable outcomes will be the numbers greater than 4 (5,6) and the even numbers (2,4,6).  So the favorable outcomes are 2,4,5, and 6.  That is 4 total.

\frac{4}{6} \ or\  \frac{2}{3}

X + 2xy- y^2 = 2<br><br> find dy/dx using implicit differentiation
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

hope that helps

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+2xy+y2=2

6x + 2y + 2xy' + 2yy' = 0

x=1 ==> y=-1

6(1) + 2(-1) + 2(1)y' + 2(-1)y' = 0

6 - 2 + 2y' - 2y' = 0

4 = 0

If a translation maps ∠I onto ∠K, which of the following statements is true?
jonny [76]

The statement which is true is  ΔGHI ~ ΔGJK.

<h3>What is Translation?</h3>

This is commonly used in geometry to describe a function which moves object at distances.

This therefore means that translation of ∠I onto ∠K means shifting of point I to point K.

The triangles given are HGI and JGK.

Translation in this scenario therefore means that the triangles are similar only if other angles are mapped to their corresponding angles.

It confirms that ΔGHI ~ ΔGJK thereby making it the most appropriate choice.
