The length and width of a rectangle must add up to 78 feet. calculate the dimensions that will yield the maximum area (remember,

area = length times width). what is the length that results in the maximum area?

The length that results in the maximum area is 39 feet.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Lets assume, length of the rectangle is x feet and width of the rectangle is y feet.

As the length and width must add up to 78 feet, so the equation will be...

x+y=78 ................................................(1)

Solving equation (1) for y  : y= 78-x

Now the area of the rectangle,

A = x*y\\\\ A= x(78-x)\\\\ A= 78x-x^2\\\\ A= -x^2 +78x...................(2)

A will be maximum when \frac{dA}{dx} = 0

Now taking derivative of equation(2) with respect to x......

\frac{dA}{dx}= -2x+78

If \frac{dA}{dx} =0, then

-2x+78=0\\\\ -2x=-78\\\\ x=\frac{-78}{-2}=39

If x= 39, then y= 78-x = 78-39=39

So, both length and width will be 39 feet for getting maximum area.

The length that results in the maximum area is 39 feet.

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, organization presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data.​

1. C. Discrete

2. A. interval

3. B. Quantitative data

4. B. Ratio

5. C. Quantitative

1. A random variable is called discrete if it has either a finite or a countable number of possible values.

A random variable is called continuous if its possible values contain a whole interval of numbers.

2. The third level of measurement is the interval level of measurement. The interval level of measurement not only classifies and orders the measurements but also specifies that the distances between each interval on the scale are equivalent along the scale from low interval to high interval.

3. Quantitative data consist of numerical measurements or counts.

4. Something measured on a ratio scale has the same properties that an interval scale has except, with a ratio scaling, there is an absolute zero point. Temperature measured in Kelvin is an example.

There is no value possible below 0 degrees Kelvin, it is absolute zero.

5. Qualitative data can be separated into different categories that are distinguished by some non-numeric characteristics.
