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 $

A sociologist recorded the estimated life expectancies of women born in Center City. Use the data from women born in 1970 and 20
Veronika [31]

Y=0.213x-352  will represent this linear model shown in the data table.

<h3>What will be the linear model for the given data?</h3>

Put the values of the x in the all given equations and then check the value of y if the value of y matches the given values in the option

So if we put the value x=1980 in the Y=0.213x-352  then

Y=0.213(1980)-352

Y=69.74

These values are closest to 70.1 whereas other options do not satisfy the condition.

Thus Y=0.213x-352  will represent this linear model shown in the data table.

Talia works 6 hours per day on Fridays and Saturdays each week. She earns $8.20 per hour
Simora [160]

<u>Question 1 </u>

Talia works 6 hours on Friday and 6 hours on Saturday. Total Work = 6+6 = 12 hours.

Hourly Rate = 8.20 dollars per hour.

Gross Pay = (Total Work) x (Hourly Rate) = 12 x 8.20 = 98.40 dollars.

Hence, option D is correct i.e. 98.40 dollars.

<u>Question 2 </u>

Mikey worked 8 hours on Wednesday, 6 hours on Thursday and 7 hours on Friday.

Total Work = 8+6+7 = 21 hours.

Gross Pay = 187.95 dollars.

Hourly Rate = (Gross pay)/(Total work) = (187.95)/21 = 8.95 dollars per hour.

Hence, option A is correct i.e. 8.95 dollars per hour.

<u>Question 3 </u>

Nina's Hourly Rate for first 40 hours = 12.25 dollars per hour.

Overtime rate for after first 40 hours = 1.5 x 12.25 = 18.375 dollars per hour.

Total work = 46 hours.

Gross Pay = (Hourly rate)x(first 40 hours) + (Overtime rate)x(Excess time after first 40 hours)

Gross pay = (12.25 x 40) + (18.375 x 6)

Gross pay = 490 + 110.25

Gross pay = 600.25 dollars.

Hence, option A is correct i.e. 600.25 dollars.

<u>Question 4 </u>

Tip amount = 15 dollars.

Meal cost = 75 dollars.

Tip percentage = (Tip amount / Meal cost) x 100

Tip percentage = (15 / 75) x 100 = 20%

Hence, option B is correct i.e. 20%

<u>Question 5 </u>

Weekly Salary = 844 dollars.

Commision Rate = 4% = 0.04

Last week Sales = 3250 dollars.

Last week commission on sales = 0.04 x 3250 = 130 dollars.

Gross pay = Weekly Salary + Commission amount.

Gross pay = 844 + 130 = 974 dollars.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. 974.00 dollars.

Exponential form of xyyzzz
Trava [24]

Answer:

  xy²z³

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponent is a way to indicate the number of times the factor is repeated. When it is 1, it is rarely shown.

  x is repeated once, so will appear without an exponent

  y is repeated twice, so will have an exponent of 2

  z is repeated 3 times, so will have an exponent of 3

__

  xyyzzz = xy²z³

_____

In plain text, an exponent is indicated with a caret (^).

  xy^2z^3
