Answer: -2.75*x - 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation we have only one variable, this means that the minimum possible number of terms will be two, one term with x, and one term without x.

We can start with the equation:

(-0.25x - 3) - (2.5x + 1.7)

Now, let's rewrite this as:

-0.25x - 3 - 2.5x - 1.7

(-0.25*x - 2.5*x) + (-3 - 1.7)

Solving the parentheses we get:

-2.75*x - 4.7

That is the equivalent expression that has the fewest possible terms

The answer would be C because for every 1 inch, would be 8 miles, so we then multiply the inches by 8 to get to 8 inches, so we then multiply the miles by 8 and we get 64 miles.

D = 64 mi.

Among all rectangles that have a perimeter of 182, find the dimensions of the one whose area is largest.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

<em>The largest rectangle of perimeter 182 is a square of side 45.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Maximization Using Derivatives</u>

The procedure consists in finding an appropriate function that depends on only one variable. Then, the first derivative of the function will be found, equated to 0 and find the maximum or minimum values.

Suppose we have a rectangle of dimensions x and y. The area of that rectangle is:

$A=x.y$
