Answer:

Let the measure of each side of the square be " x " cm.

then ,

area of square = x²

After we folded the square into a rectangle ,

length of rectangle = x

breadth of rectangle = x/2

perimeter of rectangle = 36 cm

x +  \frac{x}{2}  + x +  \frac{x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\    \frac{2x + x + 2x + x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\   \frac{6x}{2}  = 36 \\  \\ 6x = 36 \times 2 \\  \\ 6x = 72 \\  \\ 6x =  \cancel{\frac{72}{6} } = 12cm

hence ,

side of square = 12 cm

therefore ,

area of square = 12 × 12 = 144 cm²

Determine all critical points for the following function. f(x)=x2−14x+1
melomori [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (7, -48)

Step-by-step explanation:

A critical point is where the slope is zero or undefined. A polynomial function will never have any points where the slope is undefined.

The slope is zero were f'(x) = 0.

  f'(x) = 2x -14

  0 = 2x -14

  0 = x -7

  7 = x

  f(7) = 49 -98 +1 = -48

The critical point is (7, -48).
