Mental math is something that can be done i your head.
for example you can do 1+1 in your head and you dont need a calculator or paper to do it so i would be called mental math
Hope this helps
remember if you ever need anything and you dont want to waste points you can just post it on my pfp or message me the question
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Any number that have the | | symbol will automatically be positive
For example
| -5.8 | = 5.8
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Find the measurements (the lenght L and the width W) of an inscribed rectangle under the line y = -x + 3 with the 1st quadrant of the x & y coordinate system such that the area is maximum. Also, find that maximum area. To get full credit, you must draw the picture of the problem and label the length and the width in terms of x and y.
Answer: L = 1; W = 9/4; A = 2.25;
Step-by-step explanation: The rectangle is under a straight line. Area of a rectangle is given by A = L*W. To determine the maximum area:
A = x.y
A = x(-)
A = -
To maximize, we have to differentiate the equation:
= (-)
= -3x + 3
The critical point is:
= 0
-3x + 3 = 0
x = 1
Substituing:
y = -x + 3
y = -.1 + 3
y = 9/4
So, the measurements are x = L = 1 and y = W = 9/4
The maximum area is:
A = 1 . 9/4
A = 9/4
A = 2.25
