A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. No fencing is needed along the barn, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. If the fencing costs $8 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $4000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area.

Answers

Answer 1

The dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are a length and a width of 125 feet.

In this question we shall use the first and second derivative tests to determine the optimal dimensions of a rectangular plot of land. The perimeter ([tex]p[/tex]), in feet, and the area of the rectangular plot ([tex]A[/tex]), in square feet, of land are described below:

[tex]p = 2\cdot (w+l)[/tex] (1)

[tex]A = w\cdot l[/tex] (2)

Where:

[tex]w[/tex] - Width, in feet.[tex]l[/tex] - Length, in feet.

In addition, the cost of fencing of the rectangular plot ([tex]C[/tex]), in monetary units, is:

[tex]C = c\cdot p[/tex] (3)

Where [tex]c[/tex] is the fencing unit cost, in monetary units per foot.

Now we apply (2) and (3) in (1):

[tex]p = 2\cdot \left(\frac{A}{l}+l \right)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C}{c} = 2\cdot (\frac{A}{l}+l )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C\cdot l}{c} = 2\cdot (A+l^{2})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C\cdot l}{c}-2\cdot l^{2} = 2\cdot A[/tex]

[tex]\frac{C\cdot l}{2\cdot c} - l^{2} = A[/tex] (4)

We notice that fencing costs are directly proportional to the area to be fenced. Let suppose that cost is the maximum allowable and we proceed to perform the first and second derivative tests:

FDT

[tex]\frac{C}{2\cdot c}-2\cdot l = 0[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{C}{4\cdot c}[/tex]

SDT

[tex]A'' = -2[/tex]

Which means that length leads to a maximum area.

If we know that [tex]c = 8[/tex] and [tex]C = 4000[/tex], then the dimensions of the rectangular plot of land are, respectively:

[tex]l = \frac{4000}{4\cdot (8)}[/tex]

[tex]l = 125\,ft[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{(4000)\cdot (125)}{2\cdot (8)} -125^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 15625\,ft^{2}[/tex]

[tex]w = \frac{15625\,ft^{2}}{125\,ft}[/tex]

[tex]w = 125\,ft[/tex]

The dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are a length and a width of 125 feet.

8 9/10 - 3 2/3 = Plz answer​

Answers

Concept:- In mixed fractions, we will have one whole number and a proper fraction. So, first we should convert them into improper fractions, which has the numerator greater than the denominator. After, converting to that we should convert the unlike fractions to like fractions by the method of LCM of denominators. Then, we can sub all the fractions so that we can get the answer.

Explanation:

{8(9/10)} - {3(2/3)}

Convert all mixed fractions to proper fractions.

= {(80+9)/10} - {(9+2)/3}

Now, add the both numerators.

= (89/10) - (11/3)

LCM of 10 & 3 is 30.

= {(89*3)/(10*3)} - {(11*10)/(3*10)}

Now, multiply the numerator and denominator of all fractions.

= (267/30) - (110/30)

Write all numerators with common denominator.

= {(267-110)/30}

Subtract the fraction and write it in simplest form.

= 157/30

Write the obtained answer in the form of mixed fraction.

= {5(7/30)}.

Answers

You should try C I’m not sure but try I guess!

Answer:

B. -111

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x^2 - 3x + 4

x = 5

y = -4(5)^2 - 3(5) + 4

y = -4(25) - 15 + 4

y = -100 - 15 + 4

y = -111

...............................................................................................................................................

Please, write -4x^2 (not 04x2).

Then the quadratic model is y = -4x^2 - 3x + 4.

Now substitute 5 for x:  y(5) = -4 (5)^2 - 3(5) + 4

Simplifying,                     y(5) = -4(25) - 15 + 4 = -100 - 11 = -111.

You can see the first three options as 0.340 so if you substract this number with 0.343 the remainder is positive 3.

This strategy also can be applied to the number 0.3409 but in this occasion the result is different:

[tex]0.343 - 0.3409 = 2.1\times 10^{-3}[/tex]

That is small number but still is positive that's meaning that between 0.343 and 0.3409 the greatest value is 0.343 .

gallons of paint, which is the better option?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

brand a is better option why because we have paint and paint roller

If you buy 1 gallon can of paint both brands will cost $30 and brand B paint is a better option because it costs less.

What is the equation?

An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.

Suppose y is the total cost and x is the gallons cases,

The equations according to the given condition are,

y = 27 x + 3

y = 2x +5

The values obtained after solving the above equation will be (1,30). As a result, 1 gallon of paint cost you $ 30.

For condition 2 Juanita needs 15 gallons of paint, x =15

For A, y = 408

For B, y = 380

The brands A and B cost $408 and $380.So the brand costs Juanita more.

Thus, if you buy 1 gallon can of paint both brands will cost $30 and brand B paint is a better option because it costs less.

Answers

Answer:

because the total is 300 not 100 so 50 is not reasonable because that is the percentage they planted and since it is more than 100 then it should be a percent of 300 not 100. Maya is wrong about placing 50 bulbs instead they placed 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 352914 to the nearest hundred thousand is 400,000

What is approximation?

To approximate a number means to write a number near the original number that is a number, not exactly the original number. It may be a bit more or less than the original.

For example 345 is called three hundred and forty five, this means that 3 is hundred , 4 is tens and 5 is units. When approximating we round up the next number to 1 if ≥ 5 and to 0 if ≤ 5.

Therefore, 352914 approximated  to the nearest hundred thousand will be  400, 000 because the number after 3 is 5 it will be rounded to 1 and added to 3.

Answers

Answer:

∠RQT = 23.5

∠PQR  = 133°

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

Step 1 - Add angles together:

As all angles on a straight line must add up to 180°:

3x - 5 + x + 1 = 180

Add like terms together

3x + x - 5 + 1

4x - 4 = 180

Step 2 - Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

4x - 4 + 4 = 180 + 4

4x = 184

Step 3 - Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{184}{4}[/tex]

x = 46

∠RQS = x + 1

∠RQS = 46 + 1

∠RQS = 47

Given the ray QT bisects ∠RQS, the angles must be the same on either side so:

47 ÷ 2 = ∠RQT

∠RQT = 23.5

Question 2

As we know the value of x:

∠PQR = 3x - 5

Plug known values in:

3x - 5

3(46) - 5

138 - 5

∠PQR  = 133°

This can also be calculated by subtracting known angle ∠RQS from 180:

180 - 47 = 133.
