X-4+x=20

2x=20+4
2x=24
X=12
Number is 12 because 12-4 is 8 and 8+12 is 20

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,1) and has a slope of 1/6

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:y=1/6x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=1/6x+b

Plug in (-6,1)

1=1/6(-6)+b

1=-1+b

Add 1 to both sides

1+1=b

2=b

Y=1/6x+2

7/4x^2 -2 = - 0.05x + 4

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

$x1=\frac{-2-2\sqrt{29401} }{245} x2=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{29401} }{245}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step One: Convert

49/16x^2-2=-0.05x+4

Step Two: Multiply Both Sides by 80

245x^2-160=-4x+320

Step Three: Move everything to the left

245x^2+4x-480=0

Final Step: Quadratic Formula

$x1=\frac{-2-2\sqrt{29401} }{245} x2=\frac{-2+2\sqrt{29401} }{245}$
