I Have The Answer But It Will Cost You
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x – 4 = 6
Add 4 to each side
2x – 4 +4= 6+4
2x = 10
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = 10/2
x = 5
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
I THINK its 2. :) Hope i'm right.
Note the improper fraction. Change it into a mixed fraction
3/2 = 2/2 + 1/2
2/2 = 1
5 + 1 1/2
Simplify.
5 + 1 = 6
6 1/2 is your answer
hope this helps
