1 5/8
1 7/8 - 2/8= 8+7/8 - 2/8= 15/8 - 2/8= 13/8=
1 5/8 is the answer
        
             
        
        
        
Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:

which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is

Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:

which gives:

 or 

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,

Answer:
564 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
1 box = 12 pencils
25 boxes = 25 × 12 pencils = 300 pencils
22 boxes = 22 × 12 pencils = 264 pencils
300 + 264 = 564 pencils
 
        
             
        
        
        
let's recall that to find the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

 
        
             
        
        
        
The perimiter is 4 times 1 side
currently, it is 9 times 4 or 36
increased by 3
I think y mean times 3
so 9*3=27
new perimiter is 27*4=108
how much larger is it?
108-36=72
it is 72cm larger
it is the first answer
(it isn't cm² because that is for area and we are calculating perimiter)
