5=1/5x-3
(add 3 on both sides of equal sign)
8=1/5x
(multiply 5/1 on both sides of equal sign)
40/1=x
40=x

I hope this helps!!
Please make brainliest to help me!!
Thanks!!!

The owner of a cattle ranch would like to fence in a rectangular area of 3000000 m^2 and then divide it in half with a fence dow

Reika [66]

If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now $\bf \begin{cases}
A=l\cdot w\\\\\
A=3000000\\
----------\\
3000000=l\cdot w\\\\
\frac{3000000}{w}=l
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\
P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}
\\\\\\
P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\\\\\\
\textit{so the critical points are at }
\begin{cases}
0=w^2\\\\
0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\end{cases}$

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the $0=w^2\implies 0=w$ so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other

A person invests 2000 dollars in a bank. The bank pays 4.75% interest compounded

grin007 [14]

Answer:

t = 2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use formula provided

2. A = 3500 B = 2000 r = 4.75 n = 12months/4 = 3 months t = ?

3. Solve

3500=2000(1+4.75/3)^3t

3t=logbase(31/12)*1500

t=logbase(31/12)*1500 / 3

t ≅2.568
