4x-2=18
-2 on both sides
4x=16
divid by 4 on both sides
x= 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

the parabola is open down with vertex at (0,2)
We can find that the rectangle also will be symmetrical about y axis.
Let the vertices on x axis by (p,0) and (-p,0)
Then other two vertices would be (p,2-p^2) (-p,2-p^2) because the vertices lie on the parabola and satisfy the parabola equation
Now width = 
Area = l*w = 
Use derivative test
I derivative = 
II derivative = 
Equate I derivative to 0 and consider positive value only since we want maximum
p = 
Thus width= 
Length =
Width = 
Answer:
x = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
0.3 (4 - x) = x - 1.4
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
1.2 - 0.3 x = x - 1.4
Subtract x from both sides:
1.2 + (-0.3 x - x) = (x - x) - 1.4
-0.3 x - x = -1.3 x:
-1.3 x + 1.2 = (x - x) - 1.4
x - x = 0:
1.2 - 1.3 x = -1.4
Subtract 1.2` from both sides:
(1.2 - 1.2) - 1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4
1.2 - 1.2 = 0:
-1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4
-1.2 - 1.4 = -2.6:
-1.3 x = -2.6
Divide both sides of -1.3 x = -2.6 by -1.3:
(-1.3 x)/(-1.3) = (-2.6)/(-1.3)
(-1.3)/(-1.3) = 1:
x = (-2.6)/(-1.3)
(-2.6)/(-1.3) = 2.:
Answer: x = 2.
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to divide 90 by 10 and get 9 and now figure out how many times you can divide 36 to get nine, four times. Next, now multiply 4 by ten and that is your percentage.
