a. The construct the expression for the area of the rectangle in terms of x is y=2.5x

b. The area should be 2,560.

Given that,

the length of a rectangular house is two and a half times its width.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

a) The expression should be y = 2.5x

b) The area should be

$=2.5x^2\\\\= 2.5(32)^2$

= 2560

In triangle STU, u2 = s2 + t2. Triangle STU has sides s, t, u opposite to the corresponding vertices S, T, U Which equation is t

wlad13 [49]

Answer:
<span>The measure of angle SUT is equal to 90 degrees
</span>
Explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem states that:
"In any right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides"
In other words:
(hypotenuse)² = (first side)² + (second side)²

Now, for the given, we have:
u² = s² + t²
This means that the given triangle UST is a right-angled triangle and that side "u" is its hypotenuse.

According to the given, the angle opposite to side "u" is angle U. This means that angle U is the right-angle in this triangle.

Based on the above:
angle U = 90°
angle S + angle T = 180 - 90 = 90°

Now, comparing our deductions to the given choices, we can conclude that the correct choice is:
The measure of angle SUT is equal to 90 degrees

Hope this helps :)

A company wishes to manufacture some boxes out of card. The boxes will have 6 sides (i.e. they covered at the top). They wish th

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The dimensions are, base $b=\sqrt[3]{200}$ , depth $d=\sqrt[3]{200}$ and height $h=\sqrt[3]{200}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to understand the problem, we have a box of unknown dimensions (base $b$ , depth $d$ and height $h$ ), and we want to optimize the used material in the box. We know the volume $V$ we want, how we want to optimize the card used in the box we need to minimize the Area $A$ of the box.

The equations are then, for Volume

$V=200cm^3 = b.h.d$

For Area

$A=2.b.h+2.d.h+2.b.d$

From the Volume equation we clear the variable $b$ to get,

$b=\frac{200}{d.h}$

And we replace this value into the Area equation to get,

$A=2.(\frac{200}{d.h} ).h+2.d.h+2.(\frac{200}{d.h} ).d$

$A=2.(\frac{200}{d} )+2.d.h+2.(\frac{200}{h} )$

So, we have our function $f(x,y)=A(d,h)$ , which we have to minimize. We apply the first partial derivative and equalize to zero to know the optimum point of the function, getting

$\frac{\partial A}{\partial d} =-\frac{400}{d^2}+2h=0$

$\frac{\partial A}{\partial h} =-\frac{400}{h^2}+2d=0$

After solving the system of equations, we get that the optimum point value is $d=\sqrt[3]{200}$ and $h=\sqrt[3]{200}$ , replacing this values into the equation of variable $b$ we get $b=\sqrt[3]{200}$ .

Now, we have to check with the hessian matrix if the value is a minimum,

The hessian matrix is defined as,

$H=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d^2} &\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d \partial h}\\\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial h \partial d}&\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial p^2}\end{array}\right]$

we know that,

$\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d^2}=\frac{\partial}{\partial d}(-\frac{400}{d^2}+2h )=\frac{800}{d^3}$

$\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial h^2}=\frac{\partial}{\partial h}(-\frac{400}{h^2}+2d )=\frac{800}{h^3}$

$\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial d \partial h}=\frac{\partial^2 A}{\partial h \partial d}=\frac{\partial}{\partial h}(-\frac{400}{d^2}+2h )=2$

Then, our matrix is

$H=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&2\\2&4\end{array}\right]$

Now, we found the eigenvalues of the matrix as follow

$det(H-\lambda I)=det(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4-\lambda&2\\2&4-\lambda\end{array}\right] )=(4-\lambda)^2-4=0$

Solving for $\lambda$ , we get that the eigenvalues are: $\lambda_1=2$ and $\lambda_2=6$ , how both are positive the Hessian matrix is positive definite which means that the function $A(d,h)$ is minimum at that point.

Label the numbers that would go in each box so that each equation is true. Each equation has at least one negative number.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

1.

${2}^{2} \times {2}^{- 2} = {2}^{}$

2.

$\frac{2 ^{3}}{2^{2} } = {2}^{1}$

${2}^{ - 3} \times {5}^{ - 3} = {10}^{ - 6}$

hope that will help you to understand
