<h3>Answer: 12</h3>
==============================================================
Explanation:
The two integers multiply to 36, so,
ab = 36
which solves to
a = 36/b
Then we want to add the numbers such that we get the smallest possible result.
a+b = (36/b)+b
So we want (36/b)+b to be as small as possible.
Let's say we replace b with x and we consider this function
f(x) = (36/x) + x
The goal is to find when f(x) is smallest, ie, we want to minimize the function.
If we were to graph out the function, we get the curve shown below.
To make things easier, we'll only focus on positive values of x.
The lowest part of the curve is what we're after. Using the "minimum" function/feature on the graphing calculator, we would then find the lowest point occurs at (6,12). This point is considered a local minimum because it's the lowest point in that given neighborhood of x values.
So the input x = 6 leads to the smallest output f(x) = 12.
This in turn means b = 6 is going to pair with a = 36/b = 36/6 = 6.
In short, a = 6 and b = 6.
----------------------
As a check,
a*b = 6*6 = 36
a+b = 6+6 = 12
We can make a table of various values to help confirm that 12 is the smallest sum.
Side note: If you're not allowed to use a graphing calculator, then you'll need to use calculus.
Answer:
⟨-5, -1⟩
Step-by-step explanation:
Vector:
A vector is given by its endpoint subtracted by its initial point.
Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5)
Then
Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at (6, –1).
Then
What is u + v in component form?
⟨-5, -1⟩ is the answer.
Answer:
Percentage increase in the height is 55%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Cindy is growing plants for a science project. During the project Cindy found that one plant grows from 7 cm to 10.85 cm.
We have calculate percent increase in the height of the plant.
We know formula to calculate the percentage is
% Increase in the height = Net increase in the height×100/Initial length of the plant
=
Therefore % increase in the height of the plant is 55%.
