A farmer wants to fence an area of 13.5 million square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence paral

lel to one of the sides of the rectangle. Let y represent the length (in feet) of a side perpendicular to the dividing fence, and let x represent the length (in feet) of a side parallel to the dividing fence. Let F represent the length of fencing in feet. Write an equation that represents F in terms of the variable x.

Answer:

  F = 3x +(2.7×10^7)/x

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for area and perimeter of a rectangle can be used to find the desired function.

<h3>Area</h3>

The area of the rectangle will be the product of its dimensions:

  A = LW

Using the given values, we have ...

  13.5×10^6 = xy

Solving for y gives ...

  y = (13.5×10^6)/x

<h3>Perimeter</h3>

The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of the side lengths:

  P = 2(L+W) = 2(x+y)

<h3>Fence length</h3>

The total amount of fence required is the perimeter plus one more section that is x feet long.

  F = 2(x +y) +x = 3x +2y

Substituting for y, we have a function of x:

  F = 3x +(2.7×10^7)/x

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The length of fence required is minimized for x=3000. The overall size of that fenced area is x=3000 ft by y=4500 ft. Each half is 3000 ft by 2250 ft. Half of the total 18000 ft of fence is used for each of the perpendicular directions: 3x=2y=9000 ft.

Linda goes water-skiing one sunny afternoon. After skiing for 15 min, she signals to the driver of the boat to take her back to
trasher [3.6K]
60 = a * (-30)^2
a = 1/15
So y = (1/15)x^2


abc)
The derivative of this function is 2x/15. This is the slope of a tangent at that point.
If Linda lets go at some point along the parabola with coordinates (t, t^2 / 15), then she will travel along a line that was TANGENT to the parabola at that point.
Since that line has slope 2t/15, we can determine equation of line using point-slope formula:
y = m(x-x0) + y0
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
Plug in the x-coordinate "t" that was given for any point.


d)
We are looking for some x-coordinate "t" of a point on the parabola that holds the tangent line that passes through the dock at point (30, 30).
So, use our equation for a general tangent picked at point (t, t^2 / 15):
y = 2t/15 * (x - t) + (1/15)t^2
And plug in the condition that it must satisfy x=30, y=30.
30 = 2t/15 * (30 - t) + (1/15)t^2
t = 30 ± 2√15 = 8.79 or 51.21
The larger solution does in fact work for a tangent that passes through the dock, but it's not important for us because she would have to travel in reverse to get to the dock from that point.
So the only solution is she needs to let go x = 8.79 m east and y = 5.15 m north of the vertex.

Step-by-step explanation:

-2i + (9 - 3i) - (6 - 10i) =

= - 2i + 9 - 3i - 6 + 10i

= 5i + 3

= 3 + 5i
