Answer:

X = 8, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is an optimization problem. Two equations are going to be needed here

n = x+y

P = xy

Such that 64 = xy

When we divide through by x we get:

y = 64/x

So that n becomes:

n = x + 64/x

n = x+64x^-1

We take derivative

n' = 1-64x^-2

When n' = 0 then a min|max occurs

0 = 1-64x^-2

Such that:

64/x² = 1

Divide through by x²

64 = x²

x = √64

x = 8

Remember y = 64/x

So,

Y = 64/8

Y = 8.

X = 8, y = 8

Thank you!

Can someone please help ASAP
White raven [17]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply -6 by itself six times, then divide 1 by -6 four times. Multiply the products. Then multiply -6 by itself one more time and you will get 36.

The top question is 1/4. There seems to be a small multiplaction symbol next to the fractions, I'm ignoring that. To get 1/4, I multiplied 2 by itself six times because of the exponent, to get 64. I did the same with the bottom, and recieved 256. 64/256 is 1/4.

Answer:

A). slope = -1/12         y-intercept = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1/12x + b

2 = -1/12(-6) + b

2 = 1/2 + b

3/2 = b

y = -1/12x + 3/2
