Let x = the length of the rectangle
Let w= the width
Two sections are required, hence 2w of fence required
2x+3w=500
this can be written as:
3w=1500-2x
w=(1500-2x)/3
Area=x*w
replacing w with our expression:
A=x(1500-2x)/3
A=(500x-2x^2)/3
This is a quadratic equation, if we find the axis of symmetry we will know what value of x gives maximum area:
Axis of symmetry: x=-b/2a
From our equation we get:
a=-2/3; b=1500/3
thus
x=(1500/3)/(-(-2/3))
x=750
thus the maximum area will be given by length of 750
Answer:
80 centimeters taller
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert Alex's height from meters to centimeters by multiplying by 100 because there are 100 centimeters in one meter to get 160 centimeters. Now multiply 160 centimeters by 1.5 to get Noah's height, 240 centimeters. Finally, since we need to find their difference in height, subtract Alex's height of 160 centimeters from Noah's height of 240 to get 80 centimeters.
Answer:
<h2>y = x - 3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 5 = 7 + 4y <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>
4x - 5 - 7 = 7 - 7 + 4y
4x - 12 = 4y <em>divide both sides by 4</em>
4x/4 - 12/4 = 4y/4
x - 3 = y
I found a graph with the same problem, so I guess this is the graph to be based on. To find the rate, just determine the slope between any two points along the line. Suppose these points are: (30,10) and (50,20).
Slope = (20 - 10)/(50 - 30) = 1/2
<em>The correct answer should be: the rate of change is 1 cm per 2 weeks, or 1/2.</em>
