First Step: Identify the Objective function, in this case it is the perimeter since there are no defining constants for it P = 2l + 2w Second: Identify the constraint, which is that area = 4, or l _ w = 4. a.) First: Solve the constraint for l to find the constraint in terms of w. l = 256 Ö w Second: Plug this into the objective function P = 2l + 2w to get P = 2(4/w) + 2w or simply as P = 8/w + 2w b.) First: Find a common denominator in the objective function with respect to w, (found above) P = 8/w + 2w _ P = [(8 + 2w_) Ö w] Second: Now solve the numerator to find the domain of the function (8 + 2w_) _ 2w_ = |-8| _ w_ = |-4| _ w = 2 - Put this as the interval function (0,2] c.) We found that squares have the minimum perimeter when it comes to rectangles, so the sides would b l=2 and w = 2.

About the flashcard:

This flashcard is meant to be used for studying, quizzing and learning new information. Many scouting web questions are common questions that are typically seen in the classroom, for homework or on quizzes and tests. Flashcards vary depending on the topic, questions and age group. The cards are meant to be seen as a digital flashcard as they appear double sided, or rather hide the answer giving you the opportunity to think about the question at hand and answer it in your head or on a sheet before revealing the correct answer to yourself or studying partner. Some questions will include multiple choice options to show you the options involved and other questions will just have the questions and corrects answers. Simply reveal the answer when you are ready to check your work. Absolutely no cheating is acceptable.
