Answer:

W_{max}=480m\\ L_{max}=160m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know we only have 640 feet of fence available, we know that L + W + L = 640, \implies 2L + W = 640. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L: W = 640 – 2L

Remember, the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its width and length, therefore,

A_{\rm pigpen}=L(640-2L)\implies 640L-2L^2

Notice that, quadratic has been vertically reflected, since the coefficient on the squared term is negative, so the graph will open downwards, and the vertex will be a maximum value for the area.

recall,

  • x_{max}=-b/2a
  • f(x)_{max}=f(x_{max})

Since our function is A(L)=640L-2L², we get

  • a=-2
  • b=640

plug in the value of a and b into the first formula:

L_{max}=-(640)/2(-2)\implies 160

A(L)_{max}=640(160)-2(160)^2\implies 76800

hence,the dimensions of the pen that will maximize the area are<u> </u><u>L=</u><u>1</u><u>6</u><u>0</u><u>m</u><u> </u>and<u> </u><u>W=</u><u>7</u><u>6</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>6</u><u>0</u><u>=</u><u>4</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u>m</u>

and we're done!

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

<h2>The required ratio is 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi  r^{3} where r is the radius of the sphere.

If manuel bought a balloon (that is a perfect sphere) with a radius of 2cm, the original volume of the sphere is expressed as;

Vo = \frac{4}{3}\pi  (2)^{3}

Vo  = \frac{4}{3}\pi *8\\Vo = \frac{32 \pi}{3}

If he wanted his balloon to be bigger and he blew 2 big breaths of air into the balloon, if each big breath increased the balloon's radius by 1cm, the total radius will be the initial radius of the sphere plus the new radius after expansion.

radius of current sphere = 2cm+(1cm+1cm) = 4cm

Volume of the current sphere Vc = \frac{4}{3}\pi  (4)^{3}

Vc = \frac{4}{3}\pi *64\\Vc = \frac{256 \pi}{3} \\

The ratio of the current volume of the balloon Vc to the original volume of the balloon Vo will be expressed as;

Vc/Vo = \frac{\frac{256\pi}{3} }{\frac{32\pi}{3} }

\frac{Vc}{Vo}=\frac{256\pi}{3}*\frac{3}{32\pi}   \\\frac{Vc}{Vo}=\frac{256}{32}\\\frac{Vc}{Vo}= 8

The required ratio is 8

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The most obvious one i can think of would be

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 8 = 21

x + 8-8 = 21-8

x = 13
