Graphs/633597: find the coordinates (please) of the vertex of the graph y=|x-3|+2 1 solutions Answer 399040 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-31 22:59:43 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The smallest value the function can have is 2 which happens if |x - 3| = 0 which happens when x = 3. So the vertex is (3,2) John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Age_Word_Problems/633626: I am 33 years old John is 15 years old at what age will my age be three times that of Johns age? All I have so far is 33 + x = 3*(15 + x) 1 solutions Answer 399033 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-31 22:16:06 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have the correct equation. Just solve it for and then calculate Hint: Be VERY careful about your signs. Consider what it would mean if . John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Linear-systems/633625: Which scenario has the system of linear equations: 3x+8y=30 and x+y=5 1 solutions Answer 399030 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-31 22:10:17 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! You're kidding, right? Do you think it is fun to waste volunteer tutors' time? John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

test/633624: √(x+1)+5=(x+4) 1 solutions Answer 399029 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-31 22:09:00 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add -5 to both sides, then square both sides. Solve the resulting quadratic. Check both roots in the original equation since one or both could be extraneous caused by the squaring operation. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Proportions/633614: p/q=r/s, then p/q+t/u = r/s+t/u 1 solutions Answer 399028 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-31 22:05:42 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Fascinating. Did you actually intend to ask a question? John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Proofs/633618: I need help completing this proof. 1. R&S, S->(P->Q), Q->P |- P<->Q 1 solutions Answer 399023 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-31 21:59:29 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Premise Premise Premise Prove: From 1 by Conjunction Elimination From 2 by Modus Ponens From 3 and 5 by Biconditional Introduction John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Geometry_Word_Problems/633611: the perimeter of a rectangle is 58 meters. one side is 3 meters longer than the other side. determine the dimension of the rectangle. good day! so i tried this equation: let w be the longer side let s be the shorter side 2w+2s=58 w=3+s 2(3+s)+s=58 6+s+s=58 6+2s=58 2s=58-6 2s=52 (divide both sides by 2) s=13 w=13x3 w=39 final answer= 39 and 13 1 solutions Answer 399014 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-31 21:27:38 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! What you have is what some may call a comedy of errors. You have made mistake on top of mistake on top of mistake, and yet you managed to get half of the problem correct. You said and So far, so good. But then you said, What happened to the factor of 2 in front of the s just before the equals sign? You should have said But even if you had that right, you would have been in trouble because you apparently forgot the Distributive Property when you asserted that . Nope. . So, instead of: you should have said: Then you made the error that got you back on track. You had and instead of ending up with , you somehow mysteriously reinserted the missing factor of 2 to get , which is what you would have had anyway if you had continued from: . But then you went of on a tangent again. Why in Euler, Newton, and Leibnitz's names did you multiply(!?) by 3 instead of adding 3 to like your second original equation said?

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by: Which can be rearranged to: The area, given by length times width, can then be represented as a function of the width for a given perimeter thus: This function is a quadratic that can be put into standard form thus: The graph of such a quadratic is a parabola that is concave down (the lead coefficient is less than zero), meaning that the vertex represents a maximum. The coordinate of the vertex of this parabola is given by: Therefore the width that gives the greatest area rectangle for any given perimeter is the perimeter divided by 4. The two widths are therefore half of the perimeter, hence the two lengths must also be half of the perimeter, and therefore the shape is a square. Divide your given perimeter by 4 and then square the result. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
