Answer: A=20.8, B=20.5, C=10, D=2, E=12.6
Explanation: It takes time, but all you have to do it make an equation adding all the sides together, which equals 85.9. Then find “a” and plug that back in to each side. (I’m pretty sure this is right, but sorry if I’m wrong)
Answer:
8 positive integers.
Step-by-step explanation:
One value of n would be 15 because 225 = 15^2.
Other values are 225 * n where 15n <= 1000 and n is a perfect square.
So n = 4 gives us 225* 4 = 900 which is a perfect square and 15*4 = 60.
n = 9 gives us 225 * 9 which is a perfect square and 15*9 = 135.
n = 16 gives us 225*16 and 15*16 = 240 , so OK.
n = 25 gives a perfect square and and 15*25 = 375 - so OK.
n = 36 gives a perfect square and 15*36 = 540 - so OK.
n = 49 gives a perfect square and 15*49 = 735 - so OK.
n = 64 gives a perfect square and 15*64 = 960 - so ok.
n = 81 gives a perfect square and 15 * 81 = 1215 so NOT ok.
Answer:
615
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 1/2
b) 250
Step-by-step explanation:
The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for 
such that 
is maximized. Once we have that , we can easily find the answer to part b.
Finding the value that maximizes is the same as finding the value that maximizes 
, just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize . To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.
.
Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of such that the inner part of the square term is equal to 
.
.
So, the answer to part a is 
.
We can then plug 
into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.
.
So, the answer to part b is 
.
And we're done!
