Answer:

John is 20 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the second mean is 18, it is equal to the first mean age plus John's unknown age. The sum is also divided by 2 because there are 2 values in the sum (1. John's age and 2. the mean, 16 yrs old).

Set up an equation: \frac{x+16}{2}=18

multiply both sides by 2: x+16=36

simplify: x=20

onyango wishes to fence a rectangular research plot using 100 m of wire .one end of the plot has a wall already erected .calcula
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1250 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y denote the sides of the rectangular research plot.

Thus, area is;

A = xy

Now, we are told that end of the plot already has an erected wall. This means we are left with 3 sides to work with.

Thus, if y is the erected wall, and we are using 100m wire for the remaining sides, it means;

2x + y = 100

Thus, y = 100 - 2x

Since A = xy

We have; A = x(100 - 2x)

A = 100x - 2x²

At maximum area, dA/dx = 0.thus;

dA/dx = 100 - 4x

-4x + 100 = 0

4x = 100

x = 100/4

x = 25

Let's confirm if it is maximum from d²A/dx²

d²A/dx² = -4. This is less than 0 and thus it's maximum.

Let's plug in 25 for x in the area equation;

A_max = 25(100 - 2(25))

A_max = 1250 m²
