I believe the first question is 4 feet / 1 second and the second answer is 16 oz / 1 lb
As follows
r-6=7
+6 +6
r= 13
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -
x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.
Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;
Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:
A = x.y
A = x(-
)
A = -
To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:
= 
(-)
= -3x + 3
The critical point is:
= 0
-3x + 3 = 0
x = 1
Substituing:
y = -x + 3
y = -.1 + 3
y = 9/4
So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4
The maximum area is:
A = 1 . 9/4
A = 9/4
A = 2.25
If this is a parabolic motion equation, then it is a negative parabola, which looks like a hill (instead of a positive parabola that opens like a cup). Your equation would be h(t)= -16t^2 + 20t +3. That's the equation for an initial velocity of 20 ft/s thrown from an initial height of 3 ft. And the -16t^2 is the antiderivative of the gravitational pull. Anyway, if you're looking for the maximum height and you don't know calculus, then you have to complete the square to get this into vertex form. The vertex will be the highest point on the graph, which is consequently also the max height of the ball. When you do this, you get a vertex of (5/8, 9.25). The 9.25 is the max height of the ball.
