The numbers $1,$ $2,$ $\dots,$ $10$ are to be entered into the 10 boxes shown below, so that each number is used exactly once: \[P = (\square + \square + \square + \square + \square)(\square + \square + \square + \square + \square).\]What is the maximum value of $P$? What is the minimum value of $P$?

Hint

If we define x to be the value of one of the factors, since 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 ... + 10 = 11(5) = 55, the value of the other factor has to be 55-x.

To maximize P, you'd like to make x as close as possible to the vertex you found. What if you want to minimize P? Remember x must be an integer.

I hope this helps :)

part a

in a city ice cream is mostly only bought when the temperature is very high as ice cream cools down our

so we can derive the conclusion that as the temperature increases the number of ice creams sold also increases

part b

y intercept is 5

slope is 2

happy to

pls mark as brainliest
