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

Mathematics

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.

Consider the function g(x) =-3(x-2) 2 + 3 what is the vertex
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The vertex is (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the parent equation for problems like these is y=a(x-h)2 +k. The vertex is found through (h, k) and so with 2 as H and 3 as K, the vertex is (2,3).

Which line contains the pint (6-4) and has a slope of -5/6
natima [27]

Answer:

y = - 5/6 x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b      m: slope    b: y intercept

point (6 , -4)        x = 6     y = -4

b = y - mx = -4 - ((-5/6) x 6) = - 4 + 5 = 1

equation: y = - 5/6 x + 1
