Abc daycare wants to build a fence to enclose a rectangular playground. the area of the playground is 930 square feet. the fence along three of the sides costs $5 per foot and the fence along the fourth side, which will be made of brick, costs $20 per foot. find the length of the brick fence that will minimize the cost of enclosing the playground. (round your answer to one decimal place.)
1 answer:
Xy = 940 <span>and </span> <span>Cost = 5(2x) + 5y + 10y (I chose y to be the side with brick). The cost equation simplifies to: </span> <span>C = 10x + 15y </span> <span>Replace y in the cost equation with 940/x: </span> <span>C = 10x + 15(940/x) </span> <span>C = 10x + 14100/x <---this is the equation you need to minimize. </span> <span>C' = 10 - 14100/x^2 </span> <span>10 - 14100/x^2 = 0 </span> <span>14100/x^2 = 10 </span> <span>x^2 = 14100/10 = 1410 </span> <span>x = sqrt(1410) = 37.55 </span> <span>y = 25.03 <---this is the length of the brick fence.</span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.5(3x + 5) and -1.5x + 2.5
-0.5(3x + 5)...distribute the -0.5 thru the parenthesis
-1.5x - 2.5
no, these are not equivalent.... one is -1.5x + 2.5 and the other is -1.5x - 2.5....not the same
Answer:
$1.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The tax rate in Nebraska = 5.5%
Cost of the shirt before tax = $18.20
Therefore:
Tax to be paid = 5.5% of $18.20
The amount you need to pay as tax is $1.00.
