Answer:

y = 1/2 (2)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.

2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.

2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3

Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2 Divide both sides by b2

2b = 4 a = 2/4 = 1/2

b = 2

A rancher wants to fence in an area of 1500000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down t

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

6000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangular field=x

Breadth of rectangular field=y

Area of rectangular field= $1500000$ square ft

Area of rectangular field= $l\times b$

Area of rectangular field= $x\time y$

$1500000=xy$

$y=\frac{1500000}{x}$

Fencing used ,P(x)= $x+x+y+y+y=2x+3y$

Substitute the value of y

P(x)= $2x+3(\frac{1500000}{x})$

$P(x)=2x+\frac{4500000}{x}$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$P'(x)=2-\frac{4500000}{x^2}$

Using formula: $\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}$

$P'(x)=0$

$2-\frac{4500000}{x^2}=0$

$\frac{4500000}{x^2}=2$

$x^2=\frac{4500000}{2}=2250000$

$x=\sqrt{2250000}=1500$

It is always positive because length is always positive.

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$P''(x)=\frac{9000000}{x^3}$

Substitute x=1500

$P''(1500)=\frac{9000000}{(1500)^3}>0$

Hence, fencing is minimum at x=1 500

Substitute x=1 500

$y=\frac{1500000}{1500}=1000$

Length of rectangular field=1500 ft

Breadth of rectangular field=1000 ft

Substitute the values

Shortest length of fence used= $2(1500)+3(1000)=6000 ft$

Hence, the shortest length of fence that the rancher can used=6000 ft
