Linear-systems/616985: on a feasible region whose vertices ar{(0, 0), (1, 12), (5, 8), (8, 3), (9, 0) what is the maximum of the objective function p=6x+4y, and where does it occur? 1 solutions Answer 388070 by solver91311(17074)   on 2012-06-01 18:29:31 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Substitute the coordinate values for each of your feasible region vertices and calculate the value of the objective function for each one. The largest one is the maximum of the objective. If two adjacent points have the same objective function value, then any point on the segment that joins those two points is an optimum. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Quadratic-relations-and-conic-sections/616987: All of the questions are based on the same ellipse... 1)An ellpise has foci at (-5,0)and (5,0). What is the value of c²? 2)If the sum of the focal radii of this ellpise is 12, what is the value of a²? 3)Using your conclusions, what is the value of b²? 4)What is the equation of the ellipes? 5)What are the x-intercepts of the ellipse? 6)What are the y-intercepts of this ellipse? 7) Graph the ellipse and plot the foci on a graph. 1 solutions Answer 388069 by solver91311(17074)   on 2012-06-01 18:23:04 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! is the distance from the center to either of the foci. Since the foci are equidistant from the -axis and the -coordinates of the foci are both , we can conclude that the center of the ellipse is the origin, (0,0). Given that you should be able to determine the distance from the center to either focus by inspection and square that value to get . John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Surface-area/616981: How many square feet is the surface area of the house. The house is 45' by 34'. Each corner is 10'high and the peak of the roof is 14'. I have a lot of questions that require the same formula but I can not figure out what the roof has to do with it. If i can get help on the formula i can do the rest. Thank you 1 solutions Answer 388067 by solver91311(17074)   on 2012-06-01 18:17:11 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The roof is part of the outside surface of the house, the problem is you haven't provided enough information. Which side of the house (the 45' side or the 34' side) is parallel to the ridgeline of the roof? You have two rectangles that form the roof, each having a length that is either 34 or 45 feet and a width that you have to calculate using Pythagoras; that width being the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg of 4 feet (14 minus 10) and the other leg being either 17 feet (half of 34) or 22.5 feet (half of 14). Then you need to calculate the areas of the sides of the house. First you have two 10 by 34 rectangles and tow 10 by 45 rectangles. Then, depending on which dimension is parallel to the ridge line, you have two isosceles triangles with bases of 34 or 45 and a height of 4. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Geometry_Word_Problems/616959: a photographer has 2 photos, each with same area. One is a square, the other a rectangle. If the length of the rectangle is 3 inches greater and the width is 2 inches shorter than the length of one side of the square, what are the dimensions of each photo? 1 solutions Answer 388063 by solver91311(17074)   on 2012-06-01 17:56:35 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let represent the measure of one side of the square, then the length of the rectangle is and the width of the rectangle is The area of the square is just And the area of the rectangle is And these two areas are the same, so: Expand the pair of binomials, collect like terms, and solve for John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Human-and-algebraic-language/616979: 3. You recently started the paperwork to purchase your new home, and were just notified that you can move into the house in 2 weeks. You decide to hire a moving company, but are unsure which company to choose. You search online and are interested in contacting two companies, Heavy Lifting and Quick Move, to discuss their rates.

It is impossible to do what you ask. You can't solve an equation that doesn't exist. What you have provided is an inequality, NOT an equation. On the other hand, you need to turn it into an equation in order to determine the solution set interval. Step 1: Replace the inequality sign with an equals sign. Step 2: Put the equation into standard quadratic form. Step 3: Evaluate the discriminant, i.e., , to determine that the quadratic does not factor over the rationals. Step 4: Use the quadratic equation to find the conjugate pair of irrational roots of the equation. Step 5: Divide the -axis into three regions, up to the smaller value root, the smaller value root to the larger value root, and the larger value root to . Step 6: Select any one of the three intervals, and select a value from that interval that is NOT an endpoint value. Substitute this value into the original inequality and do the arithmetic. Step 7: If the result of step 6 is a true statement, then the interval selected is contained in the solution set of the inequality. Otherwise not. Step 8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each of the other intervals. Use the results to fully describe the solution set. Generally, interval notation is best.

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier. Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results. Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y). Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis. Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different value for x. Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the two points that you plotted.

There is nothing wrong with calling a square a rectangle any more than it is wrong to call a square a rhombus, parallelogram, or just a plain old quadrilateral. Having said that, given a rectangle with length , width , perimeter , and area , we can first describe the length in terms of the width and the perimeter: Substituting this into the area formula, we create a function for area in terms of width: Rearranging in to standard quadratic form: Recognizing that this second degree polynomial function in graphs to a parabola, opening downward because of the negative lead coefficient, that must have a vertex as a maximum function value. Using the fact that has a vertex at , we can find the vertex of our function: This means that the maximum of the function, that is to say the maximum area rectangle for any given perimeter is a rectangle with a width one-fourth of the perimeter. If the width is one-fourth, two times the width has to be one-half of the perimeter, leaving one-half of the perimeter to account for two times the length, hence the length must also be one-fourth of the perimeter.
