Every function is a relation because the numbers have relationships but not every relation is a function because for it to be a function there has to be one y fo every x if any x(input) has more than one y(output) it's not a function

jenna's rectangular garden borders a wall. she buys 80 ft of fencing. what are the dimensions of the garden that will maximize i

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

let 'x' be the length and the 'y' be the width of the rectangle

given Jenna's buys 80ft of fencing of rectangle so the perimeter of the rectangle is 2(x +y) = 80

x + y =40

y = 40 -x

now the area of the rectangle A = length X width

A = x y

substitute 'y' value in above A = x (40 - x)

A = 40 x - x^2 .....(1)

Step :2

now differentiating equation (1) with respective to 'x'

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 40 -2x$ ........(2)

Find the dimensions

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 0$

40 - 2x =0

40 = 2x

x = 20

and y = 40 - x = 40 -20 =20

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20

length = 20 and breadth = 20

Step 3:-

we have to find maximum area

Again differentiating equation (2) with respective to 'x' we get

$\frac{d^2A}{dx^2} = -2$

Now the maximum area A = x y at x =20 and y=20

A = 20 X 20 = 400

Conclusion:-

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

verification:-

The perimeter = 2(x +y) =80

2(20 +20) =80

2(40) =80

80 =80

4) Dan Ariely and colleagues have conducted some extremely interesting studies on cheating (see, for example Mazar, Amir, &

lianna [129]

I've attached the complete question.

Answer:

Only participant 1 is not cheating while the rest are cheating.

Because only participant 1 has a z-score that falls within the 95% confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mean; μ = 3.3

Standard deviation; s = 1

Participant 1: X = 4

Participant 2: X = 6

Participant 3: X = 7

Participant 4: X = 0

Z - score for participant 1:

z = (x - μ)/s

z = (4 - 3.3)/1

z = 0.7

Z-score for participant 2;

z = (6 - 3.3)/1

z = 2.7

Z-score for participant 3;

z = (7 - 3.3)/1

z = 3.7

Z-score for participant 4;

z = (0 - 3.3)/1

z = -3.3

Now from tables, the z-score value for confidence interval of 95% is between -1.96 and 1.96

Now, from all the participants z-score only participant 1 has a z-score that falls within the 95% confidence interval.

Thus, only participant 1 is not cheating while the rest are cheating.

20 - (3 2/3 + 2 1/4 + 2 1/3) = ?

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

20-5 11/12= 9 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

we do (3 2/3 + 2 1/4+ 2 1/3 )which is

3 8/12. 2 3/12 2 4/12 (common denominator)

then add 3 8/12 and 2 3/12 and 2 1/3 to get 10 1/12 then we get 20- 10 1/12 to get a final answer of 9 11/12
