Answer:

The length and width of the plot that will maximize the area of the rectangular plot are 54 ft and 27 ft respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of fencing of the rectangular plot is = 108 ft.

Let the longer side of the rectangular plot be x which is also the side along the river side and the width of the rectangular plot be y.

Since the fence along the river does not need.

So the total perimeter of the rectangle is =2(x+y) -x

                                                                    =2x+2y-y

                                                                    =x+2y

So,

x+2y =108

⇒x=108 -2y

Then the area of the rectangle plot is A = xy

A=xy

⇒A= (108-2y)y

⇒ A = 108y-2y²

A = 108y-2y²

Differentiating with respect to x

A'= 108 -4y

Again differentiating with respect to x

A''= -4

For maximum or minimum, A'=0

108 -4y=0

⇒4y=108

\Rightarrow y=\frac{108}{4}

⇒y=27.

A''|_{y=27}=-4

Since at y= 27, A''<0

So, at y=27 ft , the area of the rectangular plot maximum.

Then x= (108-2.27)

          =54 ft.

The length and width of the plot that will maximize the area of the rectangular plot are 54 ft and 27 ft respectively.

en un colegio mixto hay x estudiantes distribuidos en c cursos. Si hay m niños por curso, ¿Cuantas niñas hay en el colegio?
Tomtit [17]

La ecuación que nos dice cuantas niñas hay en el colegio es:

A = x - c*m

¿Como encontrar una expresión para la cantidad de niñas?

Sabemos que hay un total de x estudiantes, definimos las variables:

  • A = cantidad total de niñas
  • B = cantidad total de niños.

Entonces tenemos A + B = x

Tambien sabemos que los estudiantes estan divididos en c cursos, de tal forma que hay m niños por curso.

Entonces c por m es igual a la cantidad total de niños:

c*m = B

Reemplazando esto en la ecuación de arriba podemos obtener:

A + c*m = x

A = x - c*m

Esta es la ecuación que nos da el numero total de niñas en el colegio.

I can’t figure this out at all.
Liula [17]
The fact that this triangle is a right angle triangle makes you now have 2 angles and the 1 side given, so it should be solvable.
First, You know that A=46 and C=90 as it is the right angle, and you know that the sum of any triangle's angles is 180. so now B=180-(90-46)=44
Now to the sides,
sin(B)=opp./hyp.=b/c=8/c=sin(44)
so, c=8/sin(44) which is approximately 11.52 unit length
now, use Pythagoras to find a,
a=√c²-b² =√11.52²-8² which is approximately 8.3 unit length.
Hope this helps.
