A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

The finances of a group of pet owners were analyzed to determine how much they were spending on their pet(s) each year. A graph

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given graph x-axis represents the number of owners and y-axis represents yearly cost of pets, in hundreds.

It is given that the graph passes through the points (1,15), (3,7) and (10,0).

We need to check whether (4.5, 6) is a realistic solution for the function or not. (4.5,6) point represents

Number of owners = 4.5

yearly cost of pets = 6

It is realistic that owners spend $600 a year on their pet(s).

Number of owners can not be a fraction value. So, it is not realistic to have 4.5 owners.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

lidiya [134]

The linear equation of relating two objects can be written in the form,
y = ax + b
Our x is the number of passenger and y is the weight (in tons). Using the first two conditions,
10 = 60(a) + b
13 = 84(a) + b
The values of a and b from the equations are 0.125 and 2.5.
For 50-passenger bus,
y = (50)(0.125) + 2.5
The value of y is 8.75.

How would you shade a model to show ten thousandths?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Theres not really a way to show that on here unless i draw you a picture...you must know that 10 thousandths is equal to 1 hundredth. if you draw a 100 by 100 centimeter square on graph paper it will consist of a thousand squares since 100 x 100 is 1000, and if you colored in 10 of those squares, it would be 10 thousandths
