5 inches is bigger than 1/3 foot OR 1/3 foot is lesser than 5 inches. That is, 1/3 foot < 5 inches

4 miles is bigger than 7000 yards. That is, 4 miles > 7000 yards

8 yards is equal to 24 feet. That is, 8 yards = 24 feet

<h3>Calculating the value of a quantity </h3>

From the question, we are to determine which of the given quantities are bigger or equal

  • 1/3 foot or 5 inches

NOTE: 1 foot = 12 inches

If 1 foot = 12 inches

Then,

1/3 foot = 1/3 × 12

1/3 foot = 4 inches

∴ 5 inches is bigger than 1/3 foot. That is, 1/3 foot < 5 inches

  • 4 miles or 7,000 yards.

NOTE: 1 mile = 1760 yards

If 1 mile = 1760 yards

Then,

4 miles = 4 ×1760 yards

4 miles = 7040 yards

Hence, 4 miles is bigger than 7000 yards. That is, 4 miles > 7000 yards  

  • 8 yards or 24 feet

NOTE: 1 yard = 3 feet

If 1 yard = 3 feet

Then,

8 yards = 8 × 3 feet

8 yards = 24 feet

Hence, 8 yards is equal to 24 feet. That is, 8 yards = 24 feet

Use calculus to find the largest possible area for a rectangular field that can be enclosed with a fence that is 500 meters long
rewona [7]
Let x and y be the sides of the rectangle. The perimeter is given to be 500m, so we are maximizing the area function A(x,y)=xy subject to the constraint 2x+2y=500.

From the constraint, we find

2x+2y=500\implies x+y=250\implies y=250-x

so we can write the area function independently of y:

A(x,y)=\hat A(x)=x(250-x)=250x-x^2

Differentiating and setting equal to zero, we find one critical point:

\dfrac{\mathrm d\hat A(x)}{\mathrm dx}=250-2x=0\implies x=125

which means y=250-125=125, so in fact the largest area is achieved with a square fence that surrounds an area of A(125,125)=125^2=15625\text{ m}^2.

Distinguish differences and similarities between slope intercept form and point slope form ohysics
Slav-nsk [51]

Differences:

point slope form of line:

(a) equation is (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)

where m is slope and (x1,y1) is a point

(b)This equation of line can be determined when two points are given

(x1, y1) and (x2,y2)

slope intercept form of line:

(a) equation is y=mx+b

where m is a slope

b is y-intercept

(b)This equation of line can be determined when y-intercept and slope are given

Similarilties:

(a) both are equation of straight line

(b) slope is always constant in both

96/8=1/2b
12=1/2b
12 x 2/1=b
24=b
A=1/2(24(8))
