The most appropriate choice for maxima and minima of a function will be given by

Rectangle of length 72 feet and breadth 36 feet has largest area

What is maxima and minima?

Maxima of function f(x) is the maximum value of the function and minima of function f(x) is the minimum value of the function.

Here,

Let the length be x feet and breadth be y feet

The farmer has 144 feet of fencing

Three of the sides will require fencing and the fourth wall already exists.

So,

x + y + y =1 44

x + 2y = 144

Area of rectangle(A) = xy ft^2

                               = (144 - 2y)y

                               = 144y - 2y^2

\frac{dA}{dy} = \frac{d}{dy}(144y - 2y^2)

     = 144 - 2\times 2y^{2-1}\\144 - 4y

For largest area,

\frac{dA}{dy} = 0

144 - 4y = 0 \\4y = 144\\y = \frac{144}{4}\\y = 36

\frac{d^2A}{dy^2} = \frac{d}{dy}(144 - 4y)\\=0-4\\=-4 < 0

Hence area is maximum

For largest area, y = 36 feet

x = 144 - 2\times 36\\x = 144-72\\

x = 72 feet

So length of rectangle is 72 feet, breadth of rectangle is 36 feet

telo118 [61]

Answer:

H0: µd = 0 (claim)

H1: µd ≠ 0

This is a two-tail t-test for µd

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a paired (dependent) sample test, with its hypothesis is written as :

H0: µd = 0

H1: µd ≠ 0

From the equality sign used in the hypothesis declaration, a not equal to ≠ sign in the alternative hypothesis is used for a two tailed t test

The data isn't attached, however bce the test statistic cannot be obtained. However, the test statistic formular for a paired sample is given as :

T = dbar / (Sd/√n)

dbar = mean of the difference ; Sd = standard deviation of the difference.
