Length of the rectangular acting area be x.Width = 42 / xWe asked to find the perimeter ( the number of yard that are needed to enclose the area)P = 2(length + width)    = 2(x + 42/x)   = 2x + 84/x
The perimeter is minimum when the differentiation is equal to 0.2 - 84/x^2 = 02x^2 - 84 = 0x^2 = 42 x = 6.48
Thus, the minimum yards of string lights the manager need to enclose the area is  2(6.48) + 84 / 6.48^2 = 12.96 + 12.96 = 25.92 so it is approximately 26 yards

To determine whether the inverse of a function is a function you can perform the horizontal line test.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{TRUE}}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a horizontal line intersects the graph of a function in all places at exactly one point (the horizontal line test), the inverse of the function is also a function.

For example, the inverse of a hyperbola (like ƒ(x) =1/x) is a function, because every horizontal line intersects with the graph at exactly one point.

However, the inverse of a parabola (like ƒ(x) = x²) is not a function, because a horizontal line intersects with the graph at two points.

5. The measure of an intercepted arc is 86, and the measure of the inscribed angle creating the intercepted arc is 3x +
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Th correct option is D. 13

Therefore the value of x is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

measure of an intercepted arc = 86°

Center Angle = 86°

measure of the inscribed angle creating the intercepted arc= (3x+4)°

Angle Inscribed in arc = (3x+4)°

To Find:

value of x = ?

Solution:

Inscribed Angle Theorem:

The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle θ inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle 2θ that subtends the same arc on the circle.

\textrm{Angle Inscribed in arc}=\dfrac{1}{2}\textrm{Center Angle}

Substituting the values we get

3x+4=\dfrac{1}{2}86=43\\\\3x=39\\\\x=\dfrac{39}{3}=13\\\\x=13

Therefore the value of x is 13.
