Answer:

Dimensions of rectangular garden:

x = 25 feet   ( sides along the driveway)

y = 50 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular area is:

A(r)  = x*y           (1)

if we call x one the driveway side the cost of that side will be

6*x

The cost of the other side parallel to driveway side is 2*x and cost of the others two sides are 4*y

Total costs:  C = 6*x + 2*x  * 4*y     (2)

From equation (1)

A(r)  = 1250 = x*y      ⇒⇒   y = 1250/ x

Plugging that value in equation (2) we get costs as a function of x

that is:

C(x) = 6*x + 2*x +  4* 1250/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

C´(x)  = 6 + 2 - 5000/x²

C´(x)  = 8 - 5000 /x²

C´(x) = 0       ⇒       8 - 5000 /x² = 0

8*x² -5000 = 0

x² = 5000/8

x² = 625

x = 25 feet

and    y = 1250/ 25

y = 50 ft

C(min) = 50*2*2 + 6*25 + 2*25

C(min) = 200 + 200

C(min) = 400 $

Find the following products:
baherus [9]

Answer:

i. x^2 – 1

ii. x^3 – 1

iii. x^4 - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Products are obtained by multipliyng each left term by each rigth term as follows:

i. (x- 1)(x+ 1) = (x^2  – x + x - 1) = x^2 – 1 (equal terms with opposite sign substracts and the result is 0)

ii. (x- 1)(x^2 + x + 1) = (x^3 – x^2 + x^2 – x + x – 1) = x^3 – 1

iii. (x- 1)(x³ + x² + x + 1) = (x^4 – x^3 + x^3 – x^2 + x^2 – x + x – 1) = x^4 - 1

Sin 0= 8/17 determine the value of tan?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

tan theta = 8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. So it means that the side opposite from theta is 8, and the hypotenuse is 17.

To find the value of the adjacent side from theta, use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + b^2 = 17^2

64 + b^2 = 289

Subtract 64.

b^2 = 225

Take the square root.

b = 15.

So that means:

the side opposite from theta is 8,

the side adjacent from theta is 15,

the hypotenuse is 17.

Now we take tan, opposite over adjacent, and use the values from the triangle.

tan = opposite / adjacent

tan = 8/15.

Addison studies a tarantula that is 30 mm long suppose she uses a microscope to magnify the spider by 4×10 to the second power h
Debora [2.8K]
The magnification factor is given as 4(10)^2=400. Therefore multiplying this by the spider's actual length will give its apparent length.(400)(30 mm) = 12,000This gives an apparent length of 12,000 mm.
Since 1,000 mm = 1 m, this apparent length is also equivalent to 12 m.
