Answer:

x = length of sitcoms = 21 minutes

y = length of dramas = 42 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = length of sitcoms

y = length of dramas

6x + 6y = 372 (1)

2x + 6y = 288 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate y

6x - 2x = 372 - 288

4x = 84

x = 84/4

x = 21

Substitute x = 21 into (1)

6x + 6y = 372

6(21) + 6y = 372

126 + 6y = 372

6y = 372 - 126

6y = 246

y = 246/6

y = 41

x = length of sitcoms = 21 minutes

y = length of dramas = 42 minutes

Find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in t
Tresset [83]

Answer: The volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Volume = xyz

with subject to x+2y+3z=9

So, let z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}

So, Volume becomes,

V=xyz\\\\V=xy(\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3})\\\\V=\dfrac{9xy-x^2y-2xy^2}{3}

Partially derivative wrt x and y we get that

9-2x-2y=0\implies 2x+2y=9\\\\and\\\\9-x-4y=0\implies x+4y=9

By solving these two equations, we get that

x=3,y=\dfrac{3}{2}

So, z=\dfrac{9-x-2y}{3}=\dfrac{9-3-3}{3}=\dfrac{3}{3}=1

So, Volume of largest rectangular box would be

xyz=3\times \dfrac{3}{2}\times 1=\dfrac{9}{2}=4.5

Hence, the volume of largest rectangular box is 4.5 units.

Jeremy randomly selected a round tile and a square tile from the sets shown below. what is the probability that jeremy selected
klio [65]

The probability that Jeremy randomly selected a round tile and a square tile from the sets is given as 1/40 (Option D).

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability in mathematics is the branch of maths that speaks to the likelihood of an event occurring. Probability is usually given or described to occur between 0 and 1.

1 is the likelihood that the event will occur while zero is the certainty that an event will NOT occur.

Taken in decimal form, the likelihood of the above event occurring will very slim, because, 1/40 = 0.025
