The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -
x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.
Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;
Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:
A = x.y
A = x(-
)
A = -
To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:
= 
(-)
= -3x + 3
The critical point is:
= 0
-3x + 3 = 0
x = 1
Substituing:
y = -x + 3
y = -.1 + 3
y = 9/4
So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4
The maximum area is:
A = 1 . 9/4
A = 9/4
A = 2.25
Answer:
3/4 is less < than 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared
There are 10 letters in the set {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j} which is the pool of letters to choose from when making these three letter codes.
We have 10 choices for slot 1
Then 9 choices for slot 2. This is because we can't reuse the choice for slot 1
Then 8 choices for slot 3
Overall, there are 10*9*8 = 90*8 = 720 different permutations
Answer: 720
Note: you can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 10 and r = 3 to get the same answer
Can you post the picture or write it as it is ill help you..
