Hello,

Let's work in dm and dm².
Let's a the shortest side

2a+b=9
ab=10
==>2a²-9a+10=0
==>(a=5/2 and b=4) or (a=2 and b=5)
The rectangle is 25 cm * 40 cm
or 20 cm * 50 cm
Proof:
(25,40)
2*25+40=90 (cm)
25*40=1000 (cm²)

(20,50)
2*20+50=90 (cm)
20*50=1000 (cm²)

Three friends each have some ribbon,carol has 42 inches of ribbon, Tina has 2.5 feet of ribbon, Baxter has 1.5 yards of ribbon.
Doss [256]

Answer:

126 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the total length of ribbon convert the three lengths into the same measurement of inches.

Carol has 42 inches.

Tina has 2.5 feet which is equal to 24+6=30 inches.

Baxter has 1.5 yards which is equal to 36+18 =54 inches.

This means in total there is 42 + 30 + 54= 126 inches

Find two positive numbers whose product is 192 and their sum is a minimum.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

8√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b = the positive numbers, and the sum = s,

(1)---- ab = 192

(2)--- a + b = s

Since we want to find the minimum sum, we'll have to substitute one of the variables (either a or b) from (1) to (2), I'll choose b,

From (1), b = 192/a

Substitute b = 192/a into (2),

s = a + 192/a

Now, we are able to use a concept of calculus (maximum & minimum) to solve it, just remember 2 steps in finding the values of x in maxima minima question:

1) find dy/dx

2) Find x from dy/dx = 0

ds/da = 1 - 192/a²

When ds/da = 0,

1 - 192/a² = 0

a² = 192

a = ±√192

a = 8√3 , -8√3

Since a is positive, a = 8√3

Substitute a into (1),

b = 192/(8√3)

b = 8√3

Therefore, the two positive numbers are 8√3... and 8√3
