Which statement is true about the extreme value of the given quadratic equation? y = -3x2 + 12x − 33
Zina [86]

Answer:

The equation has a maximum value with a y-coordinate of -21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y =-3x^2 + 12x - 33

Required

The true statement about the extreme value

First, write out the leading coefficient

Leading = -3

-3 < 0 means that the function would be a downward parabola;

Downward parabola always have their vertex on top of the parabola and as such, the function has a maximum value.

The maximum value is:

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

Where:

a= -3; b =12; c =-33

So, we have:

x = -\frac{12}{2 * -3}

x = -\frac{12}{-6}

x =2

Substitute x =2 in y =-3x^2 + 12x - 33

y = -3*2^2 + 12 * 2 - 33

y = -21

<em>Hence, the maximum is -21.</em>

The perimeter of a rectangle is 70 cm. The ratio of length to width is 2:5. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

length = 10 cm; width = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length 2x and the width 5x. Since perimeter can be calculated by multiplying the sum of the length and width by 2 we can write:

2 * (2x + 5x) = 70

2 * (7x) = 70

7x = 35

x = 5 which means the length is 2 * 5 = 10 and the width is 5 * 5 = 25.
