The number of board feet in a 16 foot long tree is approximated by the model F(d) = 0.77d^2 -- 1.32d -- 9.31 where F is the numb

er of board feet and d is the diameter (in inches) of the log. What diameter tree will produce the minimum number of board feet?

we are given

F(d)=0.77d^2-1.32d-9.31

where

F is the number of board feet

d is the diameter (in inches) of the log

Since, we have to minimize F

so, firstly we will find it's derivative

F'(d)=0.77\times 2d-1.32\times 1-0

F'(d)=1.54d-1.32

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for d

F'(d)=1.54d-1.32=0

1.54d-1.32=0

so, we get diameter as

d=\frac{6}{7}inch..............Answer

lara [203]

Step-by-step explanation:

Build a rectangle 12 cm high and 5 cm wide (Paint it). Then a) Find the perimeter of the rectangle. B) Find the area of ​​the rectangle. Aiuda porfis.

Length of the rectangle is 12 cm

Breadth of the rectangle is 5 cm

Perimeter is the sum of all sides. For rectangle it is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

⇒ P=2(12+5)

P = 34 cm

Area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and breadth.

So,

A = lb

A = 12 cm × 5 cm

⇒A = 60 cm²

Hence, perimeter is 34 cm and area of rectangle is 60 cm².

What is the answer to this?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Up

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= 1x^2 + 3x + 9

Y= Ax^2 + Bx + C

To determine which way a parabola opens just look at the coefficient (the number) of the x^2 - Always use the coefficient that is beside the x^2

So,  if the coefficient A is positive the parabola is opening upward

      if the coefficient A is negative the parabola is opening downward
