A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided into two parts by a fence parallel to one side of the playground. 1200 feet of fencing is used. Find the dimensions of the playground that will enclose the greatest total area.

Answers

Answer 1

The greatest total area, length will be 300 ft. and width will be 200 ft.

Given,

In the question:

A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided into two parts by a fence parallel to one side of the playground. 1200 feet of fencing is used.

Now, According to the question:

Lets assume, the length of the playground is l ft. and width is w ft.

Suppose, the playground is divided into two parts by a fence parallel to width. That means the length of the divider fence will be w ft.

So, the total length of the fence needed = (2l+ 3w)ft.

It is given in the question that 1200 feet of fencing is used.

2l + 3w = 1200

2l = 1200 - 3w

l = 600 - [tex]\frac{3}{2}w[/tex]  ......(1)

Now, the area of the playground....

A = l × w

A = ( 600 - [tex]\frac{3}{2}w[/tex]  ) × w

A = 600w - [tex]\frac{3}{2}w^2[/tex]

Taking derivative on both side in respect of "w" ,

we will get:

dA/dw = 600 - [tex]\frac{3}{2} (2w)[/tex]

dA/dw = 600 - 3w

A will be maximum when dA/dw = 0

600 - 3w = 0

600 = 3w

w = 600/3

w = 200

Now plugging this w = 200 into equation (1)...

l = 600 - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] × 200

l = 600 - 300

l = 300

Hence, for the greatest total area, length will be 300 ft. and width will be 200 ft.

Jackson is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and $12 per hour landscaping. Last week jackson worked a total of 14 hours and earned a total of $152. Determine the number of hours jackson worked washing cars last week and the number of hours he worked landscaping last week.

Answers

The number of hours Jackson worked washing cars is 8 hours and the number of hours he worked landscaping is 6 hours

The payment of car washing per hour = $10

The payment for landscaping = $12

Total number of hours worked = 14  hours

Number of hours worked in car washing = x

Number of hours worked in landscaping = y

Then the first equation will be

x + y = 14

x = 14 - y

Total amount he earned = $152

Next equation will be

10x + 12y = 152
Here we have to use substitution method

10(14-y) + 12y = 152

140 - 10y +12y = 152

140 + 2y = 152

2y = 152 - 140

2y = 12

y = 12/2

y = 6 hours

Then

x = 14 - y

x = 14 -6

x = 8  hours

Hence, the number of hours Jackson worked washing cars is 8 hours and the number of hours he worked landscaping is 6 hours

Two consecutive Integers have a sum of 67. Find the Integers.

Answers

The answer is 33 and 34

Answer:

33, 34

Step-by-step explanation:

we must start solving this equation by letting a variable equal the smaller number

let n = smaller number

now the larger number is consecutive so you add one to n to get it

n + 1 is the bigger number

if you add them you get 67

n + n + 1 = 67

now solve

add like terms

2n + 1 = 67

subtract 1 from both sides

2n = 66

n = 33

the smaller number is 33

adding one to that will get you the larger integer

33 + 1 = 34

that is the larger integer

If the interest for 4 years on rupees 350 be Rs 112,find the rate percent. In what time will rupees 800 amount to rupees 1120 at the same rate of interest?​

Answers

Using Simple Interest formula ,

The rate percent on amount of Rs.300 is 5.5 .

At same rate, R = 5.5 the principle 800 will be Rs1120 in next 7 years .

In first case we have given that ,

principle = Rs.350

time = 4 years

Amount = Rs 1120

simple interest = 1120-350 = Rs.770

let rate of interest be R% .

Using the formul of simple interest

S.I = P×R×t /100

=> 770 = 350×4×R/100

=> R = 5.5 %

In Second case , rate of interest is same as in first case. So,

Amount = Rs. 1120

Principle = Rs. 800

rate of interest (R)= 5.5

Again simple interest formula Used:

Simple Interest = (P × R × T)/100

Simple interest = 1120 - 800 = Rs. 320

Simple Interest = (P × R × T)/100

⇒ 320 = 800×5.5 ×T/100

=> T = 7.27 ~ 7

∴ In the given principle Rs 800 with same rate of interest will be 1120 in 7 next years .

What is the solution to the system of equations? y = –5x + 3 y = 1 (0. 4, 1) (0. 8, 1) (1, 0. 4) (1, 0. 8).

Answers

The solution to the system of equations (0.4, 1).

Given equations according to the question,

y = -5x+3

y = 1

Now we can use y = 1 and substitute the value of y in y = -5x+3

After substituting we get, the value of y we get,

= 1 = -5x+3

Now given points according to the questions are

(0.4, 1) , (0.8, 1), (1, 0.4), (1, 0.8).

We substitute these points in the equation to see which points satisfy the equation, the point satisfying the equation is our point.

First, we will use (0.4, 1)

= 1 = -5x+3

= 1 = -5×0.4 + 3

= 1 = -2+3

= 1 = 1

Hence (0.4, 1) is our first solution of the equation.

Then we will use (0.8 ,1)

= 1 = -5x+3

= 1 = -5×0.8 + 3

= 1 = -4+3

= 1 = -1

Hence (0.8, 1) is not out the solution to the equation.

Then we will use (1,0.4)

= 1 = -5x+3

= 1 = -5×1 + 3

= 1 = -5+3

= 1 = -2

Hence (1, 0.4) is not the solution to the equation.

Then we will use (1,0.8)

= 1 = -5x+3

= 1 = -5×1 + 3

= 1 = -5+3

= 1 = -2

Hence (1, 0.8) is not the solution to the equation.

We are told that the difference between a number a 5 is minus -11

As it is a minus we have to be careful we are using the correct operation required!

2) Figure out the number

As the difference is -11 we would need add 11 to 5 to get the final number

11 + 5 = 16

3) Check your answer makes sense

It is always best to double check your answer to make sure that your answer is 100% correct!

To do this we just have to work out way backwards.

Devaughn is 13 years older than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 99. What is Sydney's age?

Answers

Sydney's age is 43 years.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

Devaughn is 13 years older than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 99.

Let's take the age of Devaughn to be x years and the age of Sydney to be y years.

So, Devaughn's age can be expressed using the following expression:

y = 13+x years

Now, we have the following expression for the sum of their ages:

x+13+x = 99

2x+13 = 99

Moving 13 from the left hand side to right hand side will result in the change of the sign from plus to minus:

2x = 99-13

2x = 86

x = 86/2

x = 43 years

Hence, Sydney's age is 43 years.

Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
kilometers

Answers

She can see the horizon till 2.604 meters when the person is standing at a height of 5.76 meters above sea level.

Given that,

If a person can see d kilometers into the distance from her eye level, which is h meters above sea level, then d=3.57 √h. Let's say the person is standing at a height of 5.76 meters above sea level.

We have to find she can see the horizon, but how far.

The SI unit of length is the meter. In addition to meters, length can also be expressed in other units like centimeters, inches, feet, and yards.

So,

d=h

3.57 √h= 5.76 meters

Divide both sides by 3.57

√h= 5.76 meter/ 3.57

√h=1.614

h=2.604

Margin of error: 0.007, confidence level 94%

Answers

The minimum sample size required for a 94% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.007, using the z-distribution, is of:

18,033.

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions has the bounds obtained by the rule presented as follows:

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which the variables used to calculated these bounds are presented and explained as follows:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion, which is also the estimate of the parameter.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given by:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

The confidence level is of 94%, hence the critical value z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.94}{2} = 0.97[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.88.

We have no estimate of the population proportion, hence we consider [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex], which is when the largest sample size is required.

The margin of error is of M = 0.007, hence the sample size required is obtained as follows:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.007 = 1.88\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.007\sqrt{n} = 1.88 \times 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.88 \times 0.5}{0.007}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n}) = \left(\frac{1.88 \times 0.5}{0.007}\right)^2[/tex]

n = 18,033.

The sample size was rounded up, as a sample size of 18,032 would result in a margin of error slightly above the desired 0.007.
