Answer: subtract 5 from both sides
Explanation: get rid of the 5 before moving on to isolating the variable
The original area of a face would be a^2. Now that you added b to the edge, the new area of each face would be (a+b)^2. To find how much the are increased, subtract a^2 from (a+b)^2.
So the answer is b(2a+b)
Answer:
0 is an inflection point
1/4 is a local maximum.
Step-by-step explanation:
To begin with you find the first derivative of the function and get that

to find the critical points you equal the first derivative to 0 and get that

To find if they are maximums or local minimums you use the second derivative.

since
is neither an inflection point, and since
then 1/4 is a maximum.
They won 20/30, so 100 / 30 = 3.3, then times by 20 = 66.66.
Hope this helps.
