The length of a rectangle is x. The length and width add up to 10 inches. What is the maximum area of the rectangle? Please provide steps on how solve!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangle is unknown and is defined with the letter "x". Notice that the width of the rectangle is also unknown, so we can name it 'y".

Recall the formula for the area of a rectangle (length times width), and notice that it is this quantity the one we need to maximize (find the maximum possible value).

We use the other information provided to represent the rectangle's with (y) in terms of "x" :

length + width = 10 inches

x + y = 10

Therefore,   y = 10 - x

Now we use this expression for "y" in the product for the area;

[tex]Area= x\,*\,y\\Area=x\,(10-x)\\Area=10x-x^2\\Area=-x^2+10x[/tex]

Notice that this quadratic expression corresponds to a parabola with branches pointing down (negative leading term), so its maximum value would be given at the vertex of the parabola.

Now recall that the formula for the x-value of a parabola's vertex when its function is of the form [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

is given by:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

which in our case where "a" = -1 and "b" = +10, gives:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{2(-1)}\\x_{vertex}=\frac{-10}{-2}\\x_{vertex}=5[/tex]

Then the maximum value for the Area can be obtained by replacing "x" with "5" in the area formula:

[tex]Area=-x^2+10x\\Area=-(5)^2+10\,(5)\\Area=-25+50\\Area=25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is [tex]25\,\,in^2[/tex]

Answer:

(x + 3)^2 is left 3 because it becames 0 at -3

(x - 3)^2 is right 3  because it becames 0 at 3

67.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate profit = selling price - cost price

cost price = 50 × $28 = $1400

38 × $49 = $1862

12 × $40 = $480

selling price = $1862 + $480 = $2342

Profit = $2342 - $1400 = $942

% profit = [tex]\frac{profit}{cost}[/tex] × 100%

             = [tex]\frac{942}{1400}[/tex] × 100% ≈ 67.3% ( to 1 dec. place )

C. There is exactly one line parallel to a given line through a given
point.

D. There are an infinite number of lines perpendicular to a given line
through a given point.

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperbolic geometry is defined as a non-Euclidean geometry.

(invalidating the fifth postulate of Euclid's five fundamental postulates)

Choice B and D can be eliminated because this has nothing to do with perpendicular lines.

Choice C should be eliminated as well since that's exactly the fifth postulate of Euclid's five fundamental postulates

We are left with A by the process of elimination

Answer:

A. There are an infinite number of lines parallel to a given line through a given point.

Alaine has 1 gallon of paint. She is going to pour it into
paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 12 inches long, and 5 cm deep.
(1 gallon = 231 in?, 1 inch = 2.54 cm)
Which of the following scenarios will happen?
The paint will not fill the tray by 369 cm
The paint will not fill the tray by 5.22 in
The paint will fill the tray exactly
The paint will overfill the tray by 5.22 in?

Answers

Answer:

First, solve for the volume of the tray by the equation V = L x W x H. Convert first all the dimensions to inches. The operation gives an answer of volume equal to 236.22 in³. Converting the amount of paint available to in³. This gives an answer of 231 in³. Hence, the answer is letter B.

Harry likes to grow his own vegetables. He wants to harvest at least 129 squashes during the summer season. If he has already harvested 61 squashes and plans to pick 8 squashes every week, how many weeks will it take him to harvest at least 129 squashes?

Answers

Answer:

8.5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve, you can start by subtracting 61 from 129 because he has already picked 61.

129 - 61 = 68

then, just divide 68 by 8 to find how many weeks it will take him.

68/8 = 8.5

it will take Harry 8 and a half weeks to harvest at least 129 squashes.

Harry needs 9 weeks to harvest at least 129 squashes.

What are inequalities and their types?

Inequality is a relation that compares two numbers or other mathematical expressions in an unequal way.

The symbol a < b indicates that a is smaller than b.

When a > b is used, it indicates that a is bigger than b.

a is less than or equal to b when a notation like a ≤ b.

a is bigger or equal value of an is indicated by the notation a ≥ b.

Let, The number of weeks it will take Harry to harvest at least 129 squashes be 'w'.

Therefore, The inequality that represents the given situation is,

8w + 61 > 129.

8w > 68.

w > 68/8.

w > 8.5.

So, It will take him at least 9 weeks.

O 17.1%

Answers

Answer:

15.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of marbles in the jar is:

5 + 4 + 3 = 12 marbles

The jar contains 5 red, 4 blue, and 3 yellow marbles.

The probability of pulling a red marble is 5/12

There are now 11 marbles in the jar.

The probability of pulling a blue marble is 4/11

Therefore, the probability of pulling a red marble, then, pulling a blue marble, without  replacement is:

5/12 * 4/11 = 5/33

Converting to percentage:

B. There were 2,996 girls surveyed, and about 45% of them play video games.
C. There were 5,447 students surveyed, and about 54% of them do not play video games.
D. There were 2,493 students surveyed, and about 34% of them are girls who do not play video games.

Answers

Answer:

Correct option is:

B. There were 2,996 girls surveyed, and about 45% of them play video games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us calculate the percentage step by step as per the options.

We are given the following:

1. Boys who do play video games = 1593

2. Boys who do not play video games = 858

3. Total boys = 2451

4. Girls who do play video games = 1361

5. Boys who do not play video games = 1635

6. Total boys = 2996

7. Total number of candidates = Total boys + Total girls = 5447

8. Total number of students, who play video games = 2954

9. Total number of students, who do not play video games = 2493

Percentage of boys who play video games:

[tex]\dfrac{1593}{2451} \times 100 = 64.99\%[/tex]

So, option A is not correct.

Percentage of girls who play video games:

[tex]\dfrac{1361}{2996} \times 100 = 45.43\%[/tex]

The percentage is near about 45%, so option B is correct.

Percentage of Total number of students, who do not play video games:

[tex]\dfrac{2493}{5447} \times 100 = 45.77\%[/tex]

So, option C is not correct.

Hence, correct answer is option B.

A chemist is adding pure (100%) acid to a 12 liter solution that is 15% acid in order to increase it to 49% acid. How much pure acid must she add?

How many ounces of 35% ethanol must be added to a 23 ounce mixture that contains 26% ethanol in order to obtain a mixture of 30.86% ethanol?

How many liters of 30% acid must be added to 10 liters of 53.66% acid in order to obtain a mixture that is 43% acid?

Answers

Answer:

1) 8 liters of pure acid

2) 27 liters of 35% ethanol

3) 8.2 liters of 30% acid

Step-by-step explanation:

The inicial amount of acid is 15% of 12 L, and the inicial volume is 12L.

Adding 'x' L of 100% acid, we have the amount of acid equal to 12 * 0.15 + x * 1, and the volume of 12 + x. The concentration is the amount of acid over the volume, so we have that:

(12*0.15 + x) / (12 + x) = 49/100

(1.8 + x)*100 = (12 + x) * 49

180 + 100x = 588 + 49x

51x = 408

x = 8 liters of pure acid

Similar to the solution above, for the second question we have:

(23*0.26 + 0.35*x) / (23 + x) = 30.86/100

(5.98 + 0.35*x)*100 = (23 + x) * 30.86

598 + 35x = 709.78 + 30.86x

4.14x = 111.78

x = 27 liters of 35% ethanol

For the third question, we have:

(10*0.5366 + 0.3*x) / (10 + x) = 43/100

(5.366 + 0.3x)*100 = (10 + x)*43

536.6 + 30x = 430 + 43x

13x = 106.6

x = 8.2 liters of 30% acid
