Answer:

the dimensions of the poster with the smallest area is 36cm by 42cm

Step by step Explanation:

Let us denote the width and height of the printed area as x and y respectively.

Then xy=864cm^2

y= 864/x

The total height of the poster , along with 9cm margin at sides is (y+18)

The total width of the poster , along with 6cm margin at sides is (y+12)

the area of the total poster is

A= (x+12)(y+18)...............eqn(1)

Substitute the value of y into equation (1)

A= (x+12)[(⁸⁶⁴/ₓ)+(18)]

864+ 18x +¹⁰³⁶⁸/x +216

18x +( ⁰³⁶⁸/x) + 1080

then find the derivative of x in this equation by

A'= 18-(¹⁰³⁶⁸/x²)

then equate A' to be zero so as to find the value of x

0= 18- (¹⁰³⁶⁸/x²)

18= (¹⁰³⁶⁸/x²)

x²= 576

x= √576

x= 24

Since A'' is positive for x> 0 then A is concave up and x= 24 I s the minimum value, the value of y as well is

y= 864/x

y= 432

Then the width of the poster is now

x+12= 24+ 12= 36

The corresponding height is

y+8= 24+18= 42

Therefore,the dimensions of the poster with the smallest area is 36cm by 42cm

On one of the day you went to the gym, the ratio of men to women was 3 : 2.
balu736 [363]

Answer

Find out the  how many women were there .

To prove

Let us assume that the x is the scalar multiple of men and women.

As given

The ratio of men to women was 3 : 2.

Than

The total number of men = 3x

The total number of women = 2x

As given

If 120 men used the gym.

thus

120 = 3x

x = \frac{120}{3}

x = 40

The total number of women = 2 × 40

                                               = 80

Therefore 80 women were there in the gym .

Answer:

(m+n) -a = r

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to find what m+n is because that is their total budget, then you have to remove how much their apartment costs from their budget, because r is the amount of free cash they have. once A is subtracted from m+n, you have r
