What is the maximum product of two numbers that add to 24?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Flura [38]3 years ago
6 0

Let x and y represent the two numbers that add up to 24.

x + y = 24

=> y = 24 - x

The product of the two numbers is P = x*y = x*(24 - x) = 24x - x^2.

To maximize the product P, solve P' = 0 for x.

P' = 24 - 2x

24 - 2x = 0

=> x = 12

Also P'' = -2 which is negative

for x = 12

The product when x = 12 is 12*12 = 144

hope it helps!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-4) and has a slope of -3?
zhuklara [117]

The equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-4) and has a slope of -3 is y = -3x + 8.

<h3>How to find the equation of a line?</h3>

The equation of a line can be represented in slope intercept form as follows:

y = mx + b

where

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-4) and has a slope of -3 can be found as follows;

m = -3

Hence,

y = -3x + b

using (4, -4) let's find the y-intercept.

-4 = -3(4) + b

-4  = - 12 + b

b = -4 + 12

b = 8

Therefore, the equation is y = -3x + 8

The length of a rectangular room is 5 feet more than its width. The perimeter of the room is
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

\displaystyle 39 = W \\ 44 = L

Step-by-step explanation:

{L = W + 5

{166 = 2L + 2W

166 = 2[W + 5] + 2W

166 = 2W + 10 + 2W

166 = 10 + 4W

- 10 - 10

___________

\displaystyle \frac{156}{4} = \frac{4W}{4}

\displaystyle 39 = W[Plug this back into both equations above to get the length of 44 feet; \displaystyle 44 = L

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
