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 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than , find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area.

Answers

Answer 1

The constraint for the maximum enclosed area is the amount the farmer is

willing to spend on fencing.

The width of the plot that will give the most area, y = 83.[tex]\underline{\overline 3}[/tex] feet

The length of the plot that will give the most area, y = 125 feet

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The cost of fencing per foot = $20

The maximum amount the farmer is willing to spend = $5000

Number of sides of fencing = 3 sides

Cost of the west side of the = Split with neighbor

Solution:

Let, y, represent the length of the fence, and let x represent the width of

the fence, we have;

Length of fence required = y + 2·x

Cost of the fence = 20·y + 20·x + (20÷2)·x = 20·y + 30·x

Therefore;

Maximum amount to be spent on the fence, 5000 = 20·y + 30·x

[tex]\therefore y = \dfrac{5000 - 30 \cdot x}{20} = 250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x[/tex]

[tex]y = \mathbf{250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x}[/tex]

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

The enclosed rectangular area of the fencing, A = y × x

[tex]\therefore A = \left(250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x\right) \cdot x = 250 \cdot x - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x^2[/tex]

[tex]\therefore A = -\mathbf{ \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x^2 + 250 \cdot x}[/tex]

The leading coefficient of the quadratic function of the area is negative,

therefore, the function only has a maximum point.

At the point of the most area, the slope, [tex]\dfrac{dA}{dx} = 0[/tex]

Finding the value of x at the maximum point, we get;

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dx} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{d}{dx} \left( 250 \cdot x - \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot x^2\right)} = 250- 3 \cdot x = 0[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\mathrm{ The \ width \ of \ the \ plot \ that \ will \ enclose \ the \ area}, \ x = \dfrac{250}{3} \ feet = \underline{83.\overline 3 \ feet}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{ The \ length \ of \ the \ plot \ that \ will \ enclose \ the \ area}, \ y = 250 - \dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{250}{3} = 125[/tex]

The length of the plot that will give the most area, y = 125 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table of values, it is clear that Alana chose the points (2,4) and (6,6). She also used this formula to find the slope:⤵⤵⤵

(sorry if it's a bit small btw)

[tex] \frac{y _{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} } [/tex]

She plugged in her values like so:

[tex] \frac{6 - 2}{6 - 4} [/tex]

But, right away we can tell that she put the values in the wrong places, because the y-values are supposed to be on top while the x-values are supposed to be on the bottom. Yet in this case, you can see that the 2 is an x-value, meaning she put it on the top, and thus the slope is wrong.

The correct way would be if she switched them around, where the y-values are on top and the x-values are on the bottom. With this in mind, the slope would actually be 2/4 which if you simplify it, it would be 1/2.

This is essentially your answer, feel free to use some of my words, if need.

Answers

Answer:

a = 9.6 b = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent of 8 is .8

8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8

8.8 + .8 = 9.6

She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6

When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6

For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2

8+3.2 = 11.2

She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.

Members of a soccer team raised $1428 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $955.50 and budgeted $31.50 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine pp, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Answers

Answer:

16 players can be brought to the tournament. The equation is written within my step-by-step explanation.

Variable p = number of players

Set up an equation:

Isolate variable p:

60.75p = 972

Divide:

p = 16

Check your work:

974.50 + 60.75(16) = 1946.50

974.50 + 972 = 1946.50

Which term of the arithmetic sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, ... is 169?
It is the
th term.

Answers

Answer:

43rd term

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequences are basically linear functions, so the same value is added every time. So, knowing that Asub1 is equal to one, and Asubn is equal to 169 we can take 169-1 and divide by our common difference. This is four as 5-1=4 and 9-5=4.

So, (169-1)/4=42.

This is however 42 terms after Asub1, so this would be the 43rd teen of the sequence!

Explain your answer using words, and show your work using division of fractions.

Answers

Answer:=> 10 months

Given :

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

1 / 4 inches = 1 month

Find :

5 / 8 inches = ? months

According to the question :

1 month = 1 / 4 inches

5 / 8 inches = ' x ' months

=> ( 5 / 8 ) / ( 1 / 4 ) = x

=> ( 5 / 8 ) × ( 4 / 1 ) = x

=> ( 5 × 2 ) / 1 = x

=> 10 / 1 = x

=> x = 10.

So, it takes 10 months.

A company is considering purchasing the mineral rights to two different mountains. The probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to the first mountain is 0.55. The probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to the second mountain is 0.4. Assuming the decisions to purchase the mineral rights to each mountain are made independently, what is the probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to exactly one of the two mountains?
a. 0.4
b. 0.45
c. 0.51
d. 0.49

Answers

Using probability of independent events, it is found that the probability that it will purchase the mineral rights to exactly one of the two mountains is given by:

c. 0.51

If two events, A and B, are independent, the probability of both happening is the multiplication of the probability of each happening, that is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)[/tex]

In this problem, these following two events result in the rights of exactly one of the two mountains being bought:

First bought(0.55 probability), second not(0.6 probability).First not bought(0.45 probability), second bought(0.4 probability).

Hence:

[tex]p = 0.55(0.6) + 0.45(0.4) = 0.51[/tex]

Thus, option c is correct.
