You have D dollars to buy fence to enclose a rectangular plot of land (see figure at right). The fence for the top and bottom co

sts $4 per foot and for the sides it costs $3 per foot . Find the dimensions of the plot with the largest area. For this largest plot , how much money was used for the top and bottom, x, and for the sides, ?

The perimeter of the rectangular plot of land is given by the expression below

P=2x+2y

On the other hand, since the available money to buy fence is D dollars,

\begin{gathered} D=4(2x)+3(2y) \\ \Rightarrow D=8x+6y \\ D\rightarrow\text{ constant} \end{gathered}

Furthermore, the area of the enclosed land is given by

A=xy

Solving the second equation for x,

\begin{gathered} D=8x+6y \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6y}{8} \end{gathered}

Substituting into the equation for the area,

\begin{gathered} A=(\frac{D-6y}{8})y \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{D}{8}y-\frac{3}{4}y^2 \end{gathered}

To find the maximum possible area, solve A'(y)=0, as shown below

\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}(y)=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{D}{8}-\frac{3}{2}y=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{3}{2}y=\frac{D}{8} \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{D}{12} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the corresponding value of x is

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{D}{12} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6(\frac{D}{12})}{8}=\frac{D-\frac{D}{2}}{8}=\frac{D}{16} \end{gathered}<h2>Thus, the dimensions of the fence that maximize the area are x=D/16 and y=D/12.</h2><h2>As for the used money,</h2>\begin{gathered} top,bottom:\frac{8D}{16}=\frac{D}{2} \\ Sides:\frac{6D}{12}=\frac{D}{2} \end{gathered}<h2>Half the money was used for the top and the bottom, while the other half was used for the sides.</h2>

An appliance is for sale at either (a) P15,999 cash or (b) on terms, P1,499 each month for the next 12 months.  Money is 9% comp
frutty [35]

Answer:

Cash price

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The Interest rate per month (r) = (9% ÷ 12) = 0.75%

Now Present value of the monthly payment is

= PMT × {[(1 + rate of interest)^number of years - 1] ÷ rate of interest}

= 1,499 × {[(1 + 0.75%)^12 - 1] ÷ 0.75%}

= 18,748.89

And the cash price is 15,999

So, the cash price would be lower
