Answer:

4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

L=(2x+3)

W=(x-1)

P=28cm

A= L*W

A= (2x+3)*(x-1)

open bracket

A= 2x^2-2x+3x-3

collect like terms

A= 2x^2+x-3

P= 2L+2W

P= 2*(2x+3)+2(x-1)

P= 4x+6+2x-2

collect like terms

P= 6x-4

but p= 28

28= 6x-4

28-4= 6x

24= 6x

x= 24/6

x= 4cm

Hence x= 4cm

Answer:

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The volume of the open-topped box is equal to

V=LWH

where

L=(7-2x)\ in\\W=(2-2x)\ in\\H=x\ in

substitute

V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x

Convert to expanded form

V=(7-2x)(2-2x)x\\V=(14-14x-4x+4x^{2})x\\V=14x-14x^2-4x^2+4x^{3}\\V=4x^{3}-18x^{2} +14x

using a graphing tool

Graph the cubic equation

Remember that

The domain for x is the interval -----> (0,1)

Because

If x>1

then

the width is negative (W=2-2x)

so

The maximum is the point (0.46,3.02)

see the attached figure

therefore

The value of x that maximizes the volume enclosed by this box is 0.46 inches

The maximum volume is 3.02 cubic inches

I really need help on this !!
Naddik [55]

Answer:

r = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

(r,7)=(x1,y1) and (3,4)=(x2-y2) and m=-3/5

so plug in...

(4-7)/(4-r)=-3/5

then solve for r which will get that r = -1

numerator: 4-7=-3

denominator: 4-r=5 -> 4-5=0+r -> -1=r

Multiply 9 by 2a and 2, and you get 18a + 18. Another equivalent expression would be 18(a+1), which you can get by factoring the above answer.

Madison rode her bicycle 4.5 miles in 0.75 hour. At the rate, how long would it take her to ride her bicycle an additional 6 mil
scZoUnD [109]
Set up equal ratios

t/6=0.75/4.5  multiply both sides by 6

t=4.5/4.5

t=1 hour

So it will take Madison one hour to ride another six miles.
