Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C90
Step-by-step explanation
Given that and the maximum value of is , you assumed the numbers to be .
Applying the AM-GM inequality:
Since , we have:
Now, raising both sides to the power of 11:
From the given information, we know that :
Now, we can solve for :
Since we are looking for the maximum value of , we take the equality case:
Calculating the value, we find that:
So, the value of is 90.
