Volume of the pyramid:

$V=\dfrac{s^2h}3$

Perimeter of the cross-section:

$40=\sqrt2\,s+2\sqrt{\dfrac{s^2}2+h^2}=\sqrt2\left(s+\sqrt{s^2+2h^2}\right)$

$\implies h=\sqrt{\dfrac{(20\sqrt2-s)^2-s^2}2}=\sqrt{400-20\sqrt2\,s}$

Area of the cross-section:

$P=\dfrac12(\sqrt2\,s)h=\dfrac{sh}{\sqrt2}$

$\implies P=\dfrac{s\sqrt{400-20\sqrt2\,s}}{\sqrt2}=s\sqrt{200-10\sqrt2\,s}$

First derivative test:

$\dfrac{\mathrm dP}{\mathrm ds}=\dfrac{20\sqrt2-3s}{\sqrt{4-\dfrac{\sqrt2}5s}}=0\implies s=\dfrac{20\sqrt2}3$

Then the height of the cross-section/pyramid is

$h=\sqrt{400-20\sqrt2\,s}=\dfrac{20}{\sqrt3}$

The volume of the pyramid that maximizes the cross-sectional area $P$ is

$V=\dfrac{\left(\frac{20\sqrt2}3\right)^2\frac{20}{\sqrt3}}3=\dfrac{16000}{27\sqrt3}$

Solve (x + 9)2 = 25.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

x = -4 and x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is (x + 9)² = 25

Applying the square root property we would need to take the square root of both sides: $\sqrt{(x+9)^{2} } =\sqrt{25}$

This give us x + 9 = ±5

Here we have two equations since taking the square root gives us a positive and negative value

Our first equation is x + 9 = 5, and to isolate the variable we would need to subtract 9 from both sides, giving us x = -4

Our second equation is x + 9 = -5, and to isolate the variable we would need to subtract 9 from both sides, giving us x = -14

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Divide

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The answer is option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you must factorize the possible expressions :

$\frac{ {x}^{2} - 2x - 15 }{x - 3} \div \frac{x - 5}{ {x}^{2} - 9 }$

$= \frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)}{x - 3} \div \frac{x - 5}{(x - 3)(x + 3)}$

Next you have to divide by converting to multiplication :

$= \frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)}{x - 3} \times \frac{(x - 3)(x + 3)}{x - 5}$

Lastly, you can cut out the similar expressions :

$= \frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)(x - 3)(x + 3)}{(x - 3)(x - 5)}$

$= {(x + 3)}^{2}$
