A college is planning to construct a rectangular parking lot on land bordered on one side by a highway. The plan is to use 440 f

eet of fencing to fence off the other three sides. What dimensions should the lot have if the enclosed area is to be a​ maximum?

Let x represent side opposite to highway and y represent other two opposite sides as shown in the diagram.

The perimeter of the parking lot will be sum of 3 sides that is x+y+y=x+2y.

We have been given that the plan is to use 440 feet of fencing to fence off the other three sides. This means that perimeter of 3 sides is 440.

x+2y=440

x=440-2y

We know that area of rectangle is length times width, so area of parking lot will be A=x\cdot y

Upon substituting value of x, we will get:

A(y)=(440-2y)\cdot y

A(y)=440y-2y^2

Now we will find the derivative of area function as:

A'(y)=\frac{d}{dy}(440y)-\frac{d}{dy}(2y^2)

A'(y)=440-4y

Let us find critical point by equating derivative to 0.

440-4y=0

440=4y

\frac{440}{4}=\frac{4y}{4}

110=y

Now we will substitute this value is equation x=440-2y to solve for x as:

x=440-2(110)

x=440-220=220

Therefore, the dimensions of 220 feet by 110 feet will enclose the maximum area.

Classify the following into monomials, binomial and trinomials.
Degger [83]
  • A monomial is an expression containing a single term.
  • A binomial is an expression having two terms.
  • A trinomial is an expression having three terms.

  1. Here -6 is a monomial having a single term -6.
  2. -5 + x is a binomial containing two terms -5 and x.
  3. 32x - y is a binomial having two terms 32x and -y.
  4. 6x² + 5x - 3 is a trinomial having three terms 6x², 5x and -3.
  5. z² +2 is a binomial having two terms z² and 2.

Angle ADB is a right angle, which is given.

The measure of ADB is 90 degrees by definition of right angle.

The two angles are a linear pair (aka they're supplementary) by definition of linear pair (they're formed by two intersecting lines).

The measure of BDC is 90 because BDC + ADB = 180 (definition of linear pair), and ADB = 90 (given).

BDC = ADB because 90 = 90


Overall, the two triangles are congruent by SAS.

Can a sequence be both arithmetic and geometric?
artcher [175]
An aritmetic sequence is like this
a_n=a_1+d(n-1) where a1=first term and d=common difference

geometric is a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1} where a1=first term and r=common ratio


can it be both aritmetic and geometric
hmm, that means that the starting terms should be the same

therfor we need to solve d(n-1)=(r)^{n-1}
what values of d and r make all natural numbers of n true?
are there values that make all natural numbers for n true?

when n=1, then d(1-1)=0 and r^(1-1)=1, so already they are not equal

the answer is no, a sequence cannot be both aritmetic and geometric
