Answer:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = - 5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = - 5x/2 + 750/2

y = - 2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width. In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x (-2.5x+375)

A = - 2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = - 2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex. First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = - b/2a

x = - 375/2 (-2.5) = - 375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = - 2.5x² + 375x

A = - 2.5 (75) ² + 375 (75) = - 2.5 (5625) + 28125 = - 14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5

In the probability distribution to the​ right, the random variable X represents the number of marriages an individual aged 15 ye
kodGreya [7K]

The table of the probability is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

μ = 0.919

The interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value which is also called mean value is denoted by the symbol μ. It is defined as the sum of the product of each possibility x with it's probability P(x) as the formula;

μ = Σx.P(x) = (0 × 0.272) + (1 × 0.575) + (2 × 0.121) + (3 × 0.027) + (4 × 0.004) + (5 × 0.001)

μ = 0.919

Thus, the interpretation of this is that;on the average, an individual aged 15 years or older has been involved in 0.919 marriages.

Given that g(x) = 2x ^ 2 - 2x + 8 , find each of the following. a) g(0) b) g(- 2) C) g(3) d) g(- x) e) g(1 - t)
raketka [301]

Answer:

g(-2)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given g(x)=2x^2-2x+8, substitute what is in the parentheses for x to find an output.

For g(-2), the term -2 is in the parentheses. Thus, substitute x=-2 into 2x^2-2x+8 to find g(-2):

g(-2)=2(-2)^2-2(-2)+8,\\g(-2)=2\cdot 4+4+8,\\g(-2)=8+4+8,\\g(-2)=\boxed{20}

Please help
Vlada [557]

We know that

When we have

f(x)=ax^2 +bx+c

Here ,

a is the leading coefficient

c is the constant term

so, we can compare it with

f(x)=5x^2-7x+6

so, we get

a=5,c=6

so,

leading coefficient is 5

constant term is 6......................Answer
