The dimensions of the enclosure that is most economical to construct are; x = 14.22 ft and y = 22.5 ft

<h3>How to maximize area?</h3>

Let the length of the rectangular area be x feet

Let the width of the area = y feet

Area of the rectangle = xy square feet

Or xy = 320 square feet

y = 320/x  -----(1)

Cost to fence the three sides = $6 per foot

Therefore cost to fence one length and two width of the rectangular area

= 6(x + 2y)

Similarly cost to fence the fourth side = $13 per foot

So, the cost of the remaining length = 13x

Total cost to fence = 6(x + 2y) + 13x

Cost (C) = 6(x + 2y) + 13x

C = 6x + 12y + 13x

C  = 19x + 12y

From equation (1),

C = 19x + 12(320/x)

C' = 19 - 3840/x²

At C' = 0, we have;

19 - 3840/x² = 0

19 = 3840/x²

19x² = 3840

x² = 3840/19

x = √(3840/19)

x = 14.22 ft

y = 320/14.22

y = 22.5 ft

Andrew has one book that is 237 inches thick and a second book that is 3.56 inches thick. If he stacks the books, about how tall
sattari [20]
You just add the thickness of the 2 books which is 237+3.56=240.56
Then you round the hundredth place which is 5 and next to it is the number 6 and that’s 5+ so it’s going up by a number. The answer is 240.6 inches tall. I tried explaining it well so sorry if you didn’t understand.

Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given interval. If there are multiple points in a
Bond [772]

f(x)=3\sin x+3\cos x\implies f'(x)=3\cos x-3\sin x

f has critical points where f'=0:

3\cos x-3\sin x=0\implies\cos x=\sin x\implies\tan x=1\implies x=\pm\dfrac\pi4+2n\pi

where n is any integer. We get solutions in the interval \left[0,\frac\pi3\right] for n=0, for which x=\frac\pi4.

At this critical point, we have f\left(\frac\pi4\right)=3\sqrt2\approx4.243.

At the endpoints of the given interval, we have f(0)=3 and f\left(\frac\pi3\right)=\frac{3+3\sqrt3}2\approx4.098.

So we have the extreme values

\max\limits_{x\in\left[0,\frac\pi3\right]}f=3\sqrt2

\min\limits_{x\in\left[0,\frac\pi3\right]}f=3
