A rancher wants to build a rectangular pen with an area of 36 m2.

Mathematics
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]3 years ago

a).  If the width is 'w' and the area is 36, then the length is  36/w.
The amount of fencing required is 2 lengths + 2 widths (the perimeter).
That's  <em>2w + 72/w</em>  or  <em>(2/w)(w²+36)</em>  or<em>  2(w + 36/w) </em>.

b).  The shape that requires the minimum amount of fencing is a circle
with area = 36 m² .  The radius of the circle is about 3.385 meters, and
the fence around it is about 21.269 meters.

If the pen must be a rectangle, then the rectangle with the smallest perimeter
that encloses a given area is a square.  For 36 m² of area, the sides of the
square are each <em>6 meters</em>, and the perimeter needs 24 meters of fence to
enclose it.

I don't know how to prove either of these factoids without using calculus.

Which expression is equivalent to StartRoot 128 x Superscript 8 Baseline y cubed z Superscript 9 Baseline EndRoot? Assume y grea
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is  

\sqrt{128x^8y^3z^9}

It can be written as

\sqrt{(64\cdot 2)\cdot x^8\cdot y^{2+1}\cdot z^{8+1}}

=\sqrt{8^2\cdot 2\cdot (x^4)^2\cdot y^{2}\cdot y\cdot (z^{4})^2\cdot z}

=\sqrt{(8x^4yz^4)^2\cdot 2yz}

=8x^4yz^4\sqrt{2yz}

Therefore, the correct option is C.

3 to the power of 2 +12 divided by (6-3) x 8
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Sounds like:

                12
3^2 + ---------- * (8).  This evaluates to 9 + 4 * 8 ), or 9+32, or 41.
                3

Note the importance of applying Order of Operations rules correctly here.
