Given:
The height of a golf ball is represented by the equation:
To find:
The maximum height of of Anna's golf ball.
Solution:
We have,
Differentiate with respect to x.
For critical values, .
Differentiate y' with respect to x.
Since double derivative is negative, the function is maximum at .
Substitute in the given equation to get the maximum height.
Therefore, the maximum height of of Anna's golf ball is 6.25 units.
Answer:
11.4
20/100 = x/57
Step-by-step explanation:
It is perhaps simplest just to translate the given English sentence into a mathematical sentence.
... 20% ... ... of ... 57 ... is ... what number
... 20/100 ... × ... 57 .... = ... what number . . . . . . . . translation to math sentence
... 11.4 = what number . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication
_____
If you're asked to write this as a proportion, you can write it like this:
You can solve this proportion by multiplying by 57 (the denominator under "what number"). Doing so gives you the same arithmetic sentence as shown above.
