The total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet) is  10x + 14y.

<h3>How to find the perimeter?</h3>

The perimeter is made by adding the south, north, east, and west side.

Given that

The cost of fencing for the east and west sides is $7 per foot, and the cost of fencing for the north and south sides is only $5 per foot.

We have to find total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet).

The east and west fencing cost is $7/ft but the south and north fencing cost is $5/ft.

x = north and south fencing

y = the east and west sides, then you can get this equation.

Total cost= (south +north) × 5 + (east+ west) × 7

Total cost =(x + x) × 5 + (y+ y) × 7

Total cost = 5(2x) + 7(2y)

Total cost = 10x + 14y

Hence, the total cost of the fencing is a function of the length of a side x (feet) is 10x + 14y.

klasskru [66]

With a 12% discount, 18.48 is the price per ticket (2.52 per ticket saved). In order to determine the amount of tickets, we divide the saved amount by the amount saved per ticket.

819/2.52 is 325.

There were 325 tickets purchsed.

Add 4 to all sides

-6+4<2c-4+4<14+4

-2<2c<18

Divide by 2

-2/2<2c/2<18/2

-1 < c < 9

The sides of a triangle are 1, x, and x2. what are possible values of x?
Whitepunk [10]
The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².

The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.

Consider 3 cases
Case (a):  x < 1,
      Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
      We require that x² + x ≥ 1
      Solve x² + x - 1 = 
      x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
      Reject the negative length.
     Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.

Case (b): x = 1
   This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
    The sides are 1, 1 and 1.

Case (c): x>1
  In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
  We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
  Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
  x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
  Reject the negative answr.
 The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.

Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.
