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.

. Let X and Y be random variables of possible percent returns (0%, 10%,
bazaltina [42]

(a) The marginal distribution of <em>X</em> is

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) = ∑ Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>)

… = 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625

… = 0.25

That is, the first equality follows from the law of total probability, with the sum taken over <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15}. Each probability Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) is given in the table to be 0.0625.

Similarly, the marginal distribution of <em>Y</em> is

Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25

(b) Yes, they're independent because

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.0625,

and

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25 • 0.25 = 0.0625.

(c) The mean of <em>X</em> is

E[<em>X</em>] = ∑ <em>x</em> Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)

… = 0.25 ∑ <em>x</em>

<em>… </em>= 0.25 (0 + 5 + 10 + 15)

… = 7.5

and you would find the same mean for <em>Y</em>,

E[<em>Y</em>] = 7.5

The variance of <em>X</em> is

V[<em>X</em>] = E[<em>X</em>^2] - E[<em>X</em>]^2

… = (∑ <em>x</em>^2 Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)) - 7.5^2

… = 0.25 (∑ <em>x</em>^2) - 56.25

… = 0.25 (0^2 + 5^2 + 10^2 + 15^2) - 56.25

… = 31.25

and similarly,

V[<em>Y</em>] = 31.25

(each sum is taken with <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15})

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = -6x - 7​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

f - 1 (x)  = - x6 - 76

Step-by-step explanation:

Since g(f(x))=x g ( f ( x ) ) = x , f−1(x)=−x6−76 f - 1 ( x ) = - x 6 - 7 6 is the inverse of f(x)=−6x−7 f ( x ) = - 6 x - 7 .
