Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The swimming pool is not a square. This is because if you find the square root of the given area, it will not give you the given length. So the swimming pool has length and width of different dimensions. It is a rectangle. The formula for the area of a rectangle is expressed as Length × width.

The length of the swimming is given as 20 1/4 yards = 20.25

The area of the swimming is given as 256 1/2 square yards = 256.5 square yards

Width of the pool is area/length

= 256.5/20.25 = 12.67 yards

So he is wrong. The width is not 3/38 yard.

Answer:

Minimum 8 at x=0, Maximum value: 24 at x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Retrieving data from the original question:

f(x)=x^{2}+8\:over\:[-1,4]

1) Calculating the first derivative

f'(x)=2x

2) Now, let's work to find the critical points

Set this

2x=0\\x=0    

0, belongs to the interval. Plug it in the original function

f(0)=(0)^2+8\\f(0)=8

3)  Making a table x, f(x) then compare

x|  f(x)

-1 | f(-1)=9  

0 | f(0)=8   Minimum

4 | f(4)=24 Maximum

4) The absolute maximum value is 24 at x=4 and the absolute minimum value is 8 at x=0.

What is the value of x?

All angles in a triangle add up to 180

180 = 9 + 15 + 2x - 1 + 3x

180 = 24 - 1 + 2x + 3x

180 = 23 + 5x

180 - 23 = 5x

157 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

X = 31.4 or 157/5

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

t = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

3 months ------ 4500

6 months ------ x

3/6 = 4500/x

cross multiplation:

3x =27000

x = 9000,or we should have just doubled the wages, since the time doubled

3 months ------ 4500

5 months ------ y

3/5 = 4500/y

3y = 22500

y = 7500

3 months ------- 4500

t months -------- 19500

3/t = 4500/19500 = 3/13

3t = 39

t = 13
