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!

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1- angle JZF

supplementary angle or straight angle =180 degree

HZJ+JZF=HZF straight angle

2- JZA

complementary angle or right angle =90 degree

HZJ+JZA=HZA ( right angle)

if angle HZJ=38 degrees

HZJ+FZJ=180

FZJ=180-38

<h2>FZJ=142 degrees</h2>

HZG+HZJ=180

HZG=180-38=142 degrees ( which is vertical angle to FZJ and equal to it)

HZG=142 degrees

AZJ+HZJ=90 degrees

AZJ=90-38

AZJ=52 degrees

So this is what my first answer was supposed to be.

Profit = revenue - cost

So if we replace the words with your equations you’ll get this

Profit = 2x -(0.17x + 75)

To make that make since I’ll explain again.

$2 x # of cupcakes sold -($0.17 cost of each cupcake made x # of cupcakes sold + $75 for additional one time charge)

Elena L [17]

Answer: 492 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do in such a question is to find out the number of miles Violet can go on 1 gallon.

That figure is:

= 369 / 12

= 30.75 miles per gallon

With 16 gallons therefore, she can go:

= 16 * 30.75

= 492 miles
