The Widget and Trinket Emporium has released the forecast of its revenue over then next year. The revenue R (in dollars) at any point in time t (in months) is described by the equation:R = - \left(t - 12\right)^{2} + 4
When will the revenue be zero?
Neville needs a sheet of paper x \,\text{cm} by 13 \, \text{cm} for an origami giraffe. The local origami supply store only sells square sheets of paper.
The lower portion of the image below shows the excess area A of paper that will remain after Neville cuts out the x \,\text{cm} by 13 \,\text{cm} piece. The excess area, in square centimeter, is given by the equation:A = x \left(x - 13\right)
At what lengths x will the excess area be zero?
For what value of x will Neville be able to make an origami giraffe with the least amount of excess paper?
