Let P be the product, x be the first number and y be the second number
therefore:
x-y=68........i
P=xy....ii
from i
x=68+y
hence
P=y(68+y)=y^2+8y
P=y^2+8y
The minimum product will occur at point where:
dP/dy=0
thus
dP/dy=2y+8=0
thus
y=-4
thus the value of x will be:
x=68-4=64
thus the product will be:
-4*64=-256 sq. units

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the associated homogeneous equation. Use the method of reduction of order to find
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

y2 = (6x + 7)/36 + (Dx + E)e^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of reduction of order is applicable for second-order differential equations.

For a known solution y1 of a 2nd order differential equation, this method assumes a second solution in the form Uy1 which satisfies the said differential equation. It then assumes a reduced order for U'' (w' = U'').

The differential equation becomes easy to solve, and all that is left are integration and substitutions.

The profits for a business can be represented as a function p(x)=110+25x for the month of January and q(x)=15x+85 for the month
mrs_skeptik [129]
To find the total profit, add p(x) and q(x):
(110 + 25x) + (15x + 85)
15x + 25x + 110 + 85 --> group like terms
40x + 195 --> add like terms
p(x) + q(x) = 40x + 195 --> This is the function that represents the total profit for January and February

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

C. Different sample proportions would result each time, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

A political polling agency wants to take a random sample of registered voters and ask whether or not they will vote for a certain candidate.

A random sample is usually an outcome of any experiment that cannot be predicted before the result.

SO;

One plan is to select 400 voters, another plan is to select 1,600 voters

If the study were conducted repeatedly (selecting different samples of people each time);

Different sample proportions would result each time, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion.  This is because a sample proportion deals with random experiments that cannot be predicted in advance and they  are  quite known to be centered about the population proportion.
