The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than the width. the perimeter is 32 inches. find the length and width.

1 answer:

7 0

The length of the rectangle is 10 inches, and the width is 6 inches.

10 + 10 + 6 + 6 = 32

And that's your answer! ^ I hope this helped! c:

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_0: \mu = 2.5$ .

The alternative hypothesis is $H_1: \mu > 2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.5 years.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of 2.5 years, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 2.5$

A study was then done to see if the mean time has increased in the new century.

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean has increased, that is, if it is above 2.5 years. So

$H_1: \mu > 2.5$

Lena will use 7 cups of apples to make 4 batches of applesauc. Which expression shows the number of cups of apples in each batch

astraxan [27]

Answer: 1 3/4 cups of apples in each batch

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

Writing out the equation to represent if 7 cups of apples make 4 batches One batch is as a result of how many cups of apples

LET x be number of cups of apples to make each batch

7 cups of apples = 4 Batches

x cups of apples = 1 Batch

STEP 2 Solving by cross multiplication

1 batch x 7 cups of apples = 4 batches X x cups of apples

x cups of apples=1 batch x 7 cups of apples / 4batches

x = 7 / 4 = 1 3/4

number of cups of apples to make each batch= 1 3/4

Given P = x^0.3 y^0.7 is the chicken lay eggs production function, where P is the number of eggs lay, x is the number of workers

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Part A)

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{10}{7}}$

Part B)

The daily operating cost decreases by about $143 per extra worker.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$\displaystyle P=x^{\frac{3}{10}}y^{\frac{7}{10}}$

Where P is the number of eggs laid, x is the number of workers, and y is the daily operating budget (assuming in US dollars $).

We want to find dy/dx.

So, let’s find our equation in terms of x. We can raise both sides to 10/7. Hence:

$\displaystyle P^\frac{10}{7}=\Big(x^\frac{3}{10}y^\frac{7}{10}\Big)^\frac{10}{7}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle P^\frac{10}{7}=x^\frac{3}{7}y$

Divide both sides by the x term to acquire:

$\displaystyle y=P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{3}{7}}$

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\Big[P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{3}{7}}\Big]$

Apply power rule. Note that P is simply a constant. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=P^\frac{10}{7}(-\frac{3}{7})(x^{-\frac{10}{7}})$

Simplify. Hence, our derivative is:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}P^\frac{10}{7}x^{-\frac{10}{7}}$

Part B)

We want to evaluate the derivative when x is 30 and when y is $10,000.

First, we will need to find P. Our original equations tells us that:

$P=x^{0.3}y^{0.7}$

Hence, at x = 30 and at y = 10,000, P is:

$P=(30)^{0.3}(10000)^{0.7}$

Therefore, for our derivative, we will have:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3}{7}\Big(30^{0.3}(10000^{0.7})\Big)^\frac{10}{7}\Big(30^{-\frac{10}{7}}\Big)$

Use a calculator. So:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{1000}{7}=-142.857142...\approx-143$

Our derivative is given by dy/dx. So, it represents the change in the daily operating cost over the change in the number of workers.

So, when there are 30 workers with a daily operating cost of $10,000 producing a total of about 1750 eggs, the daily operating cost decreases by about $143 per extra worker.
