yan [13]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 20

x = 2y - 3

(2y-3)y = 20

2y^2 - 3y = 20

2y^2 - 3y - 20 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation

you get y = 4, -5/2

Use 5 since it is one of the options

xy = 20, y = 4

x = 5

Answer the questions below about the quadratic function.f(x) = -2x² - 4x
Juli2301 [7.4K]

We are given the function below;

f(x)=-2x^2-4x

PART A

We then proceed to find if the function has a minimum or maximum value. To find if the function has a minimum or maximum value. If the x^2 coefficient is positive, the function has a minimum. If it is negative, the function has a maximum.

ANSWER: From the above, we can see that x^2 is negative, hence the function has a maximum

PART B and C

To find the minimum or maximum value, we would plot the graph of the f(x). The graph can be seen below.

From the graph, the black point helps answer part A and part B.

ANSWER: The function's maximum value is f(x)=2.

This is the point where the slope of the graph is equal to zero

ANSWER: The maximum value then occurs at x= -1

We can also solve this by differentiating the function.

\begin{gathered} f(x)=-2x^2-4x \\ f^{\prime}(x)=-4x-4 \\ At\xi maxmum\text{ }f^{\prime}(x)=0 \\ -4x-4=0 \\ -4x=4 \\ x=-\frac{4}{4} \\ x=-1 \\ \therefore\text{The max}imum\text{ value occurs at x=-1} \\ \text{Inserting the value of x into the function, we have} \\ f(x)=-2(-1)^2-4(-1) \\ f(x)=-2+4 \\ f(x)=2 \\ \therefore\text{The function max}imum\text{ value is 2} \end{gathered}

8.449m²

Step-by-step explanation:

c) scale facot is 7.2/5 = 1.44

the square scale factor is 1.44^2 = 2.0736

times 20 by this to get the area

2.0737x 20 = 41.472 m²

d) 2.8/6 = SF = 0.467

0.2178 x 38.8 = 8.449m²
