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.

Answers

Answer:

m∠E = 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are congruent, B and E are automatically congruent, since they are corresponding angles.

First, we must find the value of y.

Set both measures equal to each other.

98 + y = 6y - 32.

Subtract y from both sides.

98 = 5y - 32

Add 32 on both sides.

130 = 5y

Divide 5 on both sides.

y = 26

Substitute y for angle E.

E = 6(26) - 32

E = 156 - 32

E = 124°

y = 1.6x −5

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with two points, let’s say (0,-5) and (4,1.4).

The equation is:

y=mx+b

m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

We can find the slope by:

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-5-1.4}{0-4} = 1.6[/tex]

Then solve the equation for b:

y = 1.6x + b ->

−5 = 1.6(0) + b ->

b = -5.

So the final equation is:

y = 1.6x −5.

Answers

Answer:

B) A = 52.3°, b = 1.7 m, c = 2.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that it is a right angle triangle because C = 90°

because of that we can do 180 - 90 + 37.7

which is a=52.3

Because it is a right angle triangle, we can use sin, cos,tan

I will use sin to find the side of c

2.2 is a

sin 52.3 = 2.2/x

x= 2.2/ sin 52.3

x=2.78

You could do cos or tan but the pythagorean theorem for me is much faster

so it looks like this, a^2+b^2 =c^2

in this case we have both a and c we want b

so we rearrange

c^2-a^2=b^2

2.78^2-2.2^2= b^2

[tex]\sqrt{2.89}[/tex]=b

1.7=b

therefore it would be this option B) A = 52.3°, b = 1.7 m, c = 2.8 m

Assuming that what you want is the value of y, you can pass all the right side stuff to the left, and the y to the right:

2/3 + 15/6 = 6y

Then you can sum the fractions on the left by using the same denominators:

4/6 + 15/6 = 6y       ==>      19/6 = 6 * y

then  you can pass the 6 that is multiplying on the right to the left - now dividing:

This whole entire unit is pretty simple, but apparently my brain won't think.

Could you please help? ​

Answers

Answer:

0.04x = 19

x = 475

Step-by-step explanation:

19 + 0.12x = 0.16x

Take away 0.12x from both sides

19 = 0.04x

Divide 19 by 0.04 to find x

x = 475

Answer:

475

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to simplify the equation by moving all the like terms to one side of the equal sign.

This entails the taking of 0.12x to the right side of the equal sign.

Remember, when we take anything over the equal sign if it was a positive sign like in this case, it becomes a negative one and the opposite is true if the sign was negative.

So we have

19=0.16x - 0.12x

We then simplify further and get the equation

19=0.04x

To obtain the true value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.04x as follows:

19/0.04=0.04x/0.04

We then find that

x= 475

What is a right circular cylinder?

A right circular cylinder is a three dimensional figure having its base and top as a circle and the height is perpendicular to circular base. The volume is given as V = πr²h.

The volume of the combined solid is given as,

Volume of cone + Volume of cylinder

The expression can be written as,

1/3πr²h + πr²H

Where h and H are the heights of cone and cylinder respectively.

Plug r = 3, h = 5 and H = 6 to obtain as,

⇒ 1/3π × 3² × 5 + π × 3² × 6

⇒ 69π

Hence, the volume of the combined solid is obtained as 69π ft³.

Answers

Translating "The tax is some percent of the phone's price" into an equation, we get:

   42.42 = p · 499

If we divide both sides by 499, we get

   0.085 ≈ p

We can check by finding 8.5% of 499:

   0.085 · 499 = 42.415, which rounds to 42.42

So the tax rate was 8.5%.
