Answer:

square of each side=38 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

square has the largest area.

each side=152/4=38ft

alternatively

let x and y be the sides

2x+2y=152

x+y=76

y=76-x

area A=xy=x(76-x)=76x-x²

$\frac{dA}{dx} =76-2x\\\frac{dA}{dx} =0,gives ~76-2x=0\\2x=76\\x=76/2=38 \\\frac{d^2A}{dx^2} =-2$

Find a recurrence relation for the amount of money in a savings account after n years if the interest rate is 6 percent and $50

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$a_n = a_{n-1} (1.06) + 50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, $a_0$ is initial amount in the saving account,

Here, the annual interest rate is 6% and additional amount in each year is $ 50,

So, the amount after one year,

$a_1 = a_0 + 6\%\text{ of }a_0 + 50 = a_0 + 0.06a_0 + 50 = a_0(1.06) + 50$

Amount after 2 years,

$a_2 = a_1 + 6\%\text{ of }a_1 + 50 = a_1(1.06) + 50$

Amount after 3 years,

$a_3 = a_2 + 6\%\text{ of }a_2 + 50 = a_2(1.06) + 50$

................................., so on....

Hence, by following the pattern,

The amount after n years,

$a_n = a_{n-1} (1.06) + 50$

Which is the required recurrence relation for the amount of money in a savings account

Javier is considering two lawn care services. Premier Landscaping charges $15.00 for travel to the job site and $55.00 per hour

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fixed Variable

Premier Landscaping charges $15 $55

Ace Landscaping charges $65

Find:

Time in which both companies charge same cost:

Computation:

Assume in X time both companies charge same cost:

So,

Premier Landscaping total cost = Ace Landscaping total cost

⇒ $15 + $55(Time taken) = $65 (Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $65 (Time taken) - $55(Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $10 (Time taken)

⇒ Time taken = 1.5 hour

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour

Reduce 720/1080 little cunfused

Veronika [31]

To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible.

In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
