Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x
Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x
On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6
Total pages are = 458
The equation becomes: 



So on the third day, Aiden read
pages.
Answer:
a) 1/2
b) 250
Step-by-step explanation:
The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for
such that
is maximized. Once we have that
, we can easily find the answer to part b.
Finding the value that maximizes
is the same as finding the value that maximizes
, just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize
. To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.
.
Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of
such that the inner part of the square term is equal to
.
.
So, the answer to part a is
.
We can then plug
into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.
.
So, the answer to part b is
.
And we're done!

Complete question :
Angela makes a pillow in the shape of a wedge to use for watching TV. The pillow is filled with 0.35 m3 of fluffy material, with base 0.5 m and height 1m
What is the length of the pillow?
Answer:
1.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of wedge is given by:
V = Area of triangle * length
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Volume of wedge = 1/2 * base * height * length
Volume of wedge = 0.35m³
0.35 = 0.5 * 0.5 * 1 * length
0.35 = 0.25 * length
Length = 0.35 / 0.25
Length = 1.4 m
