Find the value of x so the rectangles have the same area

Mathematics
1 answer:

Area of rectangles = width * length.
So x*12 = 12x = area of first rectangle
So 16*(x-2) = 16x -32 = area of second rectangle

The question states to make them equal, so:
first rectangle = second rectangle
12x = 16x -32
Solve for x
-4x = -32
4x = 32
x = 8

If a and b are positive numbers, find the maximum value of f(x) = xa(7 â x)b on the interval 0 ⤠x ⤠7.
algol [13]
Given f(x)=x^a(7-x)^b on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 7, for maximum value, f'(x) = 0.

f'(x)=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow -bx^{a}(7-x)^{b-1}+ax^{a-1}(7-x)^b=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow ax^{a-1}(7-x)^b=bx^{a}(7-x)^{b-1} \\  \\ \Rightarrow a(7-x)=bx \\  \\ \Rightarrow (a+b)x=7a \\  \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{7a}{a+b}
