Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.

2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x

A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)

The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150

So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.

A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625

So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.

A Petri dish is growing bacteria. It starts with 3 cells on day 1, 9 cells on day 2, and continues tripling the number of cells
n200080 [17]

Answer:

243

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Day 1 = 3

Day 2 = 9

After the 2nd day, number of cells continue to triple ;

Day 3 = 9^3

P(t) = 9 * 3^3

P(t) = 9 * 27

= 243

When fishing off the shores of Florida, a spotted seatrout must be between 10 and 30 inches long before it can be kept; otherwis
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

There is a 97.585% probability that a fisherman catches a spotted seatrout within the legal limits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

The lengths of the spotted seatrout that are caught, are normally distributed with a mean of 22 inches, and a standard deviation of 4 inches, so \mu = 22, \sigma = 4.

What is the probability that a fisherman catches a spotted seatrout within the legal limits?

They must be between 10 and 30 inches.

So, this is the pvalue of the Z score of X = 30 subtracted by the pvalue of the Z score of X = 10

X = 30

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{30 - 22}{4}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

X = 10

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{10 - 22}{4}

Z = -3

Z = -3 has a pvalue of 0.00135.

This means that there is a 0.9772-0.00135 = 0.97585 = 97.585% probability that a fisherman catches a spotted seatrout within the legal limits.
