The teacher passed out math books.The length is 10 inches and the width is 8 inches.What is the perimeter of each book?

miv72 [106K]

Answer: The perimeter of each book is: " 36 in. " .

__________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

__________________________________________________

Note that the given units are all in "inches (in.)" .

Use the formula for the "perimeter of a rectangle" ;

{which happens to work for a "square" as well;

since a "square" is a rectangle.}.

__________________________________________________

This is based on the assumption that the book is shaped like a

"rectangle" (or "square" —which is a rectangle).

__________________________________________________

The formula for the Perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2 L + 2 w ;

in which:

P = the perimeter of the rectangle;

for which we shall solve; [in "inches (in.)" ] ;

L = the length of the rectangle = 10 in. (given) ;

w = the width of the rectangle = 8 in. (given) .

___________________________________________________

Now, plug the given values for the "length (L)" and the "width (w)" ;

as follows:

___________________________________________________

P = (2 * 10 in.) + (2 * 8 in.) ;

P = (20 in.) + (16 in.) ;

P = 36 in.

___________________________________________________

Answer: The perimeter of each book is: " 36 in. " .

Given the following revenue and cost functions, find the x-value that makes revenue a maximum.

Montano1993 [528]

P(x) that will be R(x) - C(x):

Note the use of parentheses! Without them we would not realize that both the 21 and the 98 should be subtracted.
Now that we have our profit function, we can see that:<span>Its graph will be a parabola because of the squared term.The parabola will open downward because of the negative coefficient, -2, in front of the squared term.The highest point (which would be the maximum profit) on the downward parabola would be the vertex of the parabola.</span>From the above we now know that we want to find the vertex of the profit parabola.

The x coordinate of the vertex of a parabola will be -b/2a where the "b" is the coefficient of the x term and the "a" is the coefficient of the x squared term. From p(x)= -2^2 + 34x-98

we can see that your "a" is -2 and your "b" is 34. So the x coordinate of the vertex (which is where the maximum profit is) will be: -34/-2=17

A collection of quarters and dimes is worth $14.90. There are 80 coins in all. Find how many of each there are in the collection

sashaice [31]

The trick here is to relate the NUMBER of coins to each other in one equation, and then the VALUE of the coins in another equation. If I have 1 dime, that 1 dime is worth 10 cents. The number of dimes is obviously not equal to the value. Let's call quarters q and dimes d. The number of these 2 types of coins added together is 80 coins. So q + d = 80. Now, we know that quarters are worth .25 and dimes are worth .1, so we express a quarter's worth as .25q; we express a dime's worth as .1d. The value of the coins we have is 14.90. So that equation is .25q + .1d = 14.90. Let's solve the first equation for q. q = 80 - d. We can now use that as a substitution for q into the second equation, giving us an equation with only 1 unknown, d. .25(80-d) + .1d = 14.90. Distributing through the parenthesis we have 20 - .25d + .1d = 14.90. Combining like terms gives us - .15d = - 5.1. We will divide both sides by - .15 to get that the number of dimes is 34. If we had a total of 80 coins, then the number of quarters is 80 - 34, which is 46. 46 quarters and 34 dimes
