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.

Please explain and tell me how to do it please

The answer is b) y = 3x + 3.

To find this, we first need to find the slope. The slope formula is listed below.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation, m is the slope, and (x1, y1) is the first point, where (x2, y2) is the second point. We'll use (2, 9) and (3, 12) for the points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12 - 9)/(3 - 2)

m = 3/1

m = 3

Now that we have the slope at 3. we can use slope intercept form and one point to solve for the y-intercept. We'll use (2, 9) as the point.

y = mx + b

9 = 3(2) + b

9 = 6 + b

3 = b

When we use the slope and intercept together to get the equation. y = 3x + 3

A company that teaches self-improvement seminars is holding one of its seminars in Middletown. The company pays a flat fee of $1
Nutka1998 [239]

Answers:

To reach the breakeven point, how many attendees will that take?  <u>   117   </u>

What will be the company's total expenses and revenues?  <u>    $1755  for each   </u>

=============================================================

Explanation:

x = number of attendees

C(x) = cost function for the company

C(x) = 14x+117

This is because the company pays $14 per person, so x of them accounts for 14x dollars. Then we add on the flat fee of $117 to get 14x+117 dollars overall.

In contrast, the revenue is

R(x) = 15x

because each attendee brings in $15 for the company

The breakeven point is when the cost and revenue are the same. This produces a profit of $0.

R(x) = C(x)

15x = 14x+117

15x-14x = 117

x = 117

If 117 people attend the seminar, then the company breaks even.

To check this, we'll compute the cost and revenue

C(x) = 14x+117

C(117) = 14*117+117

C(117) = 1755

R(x) = 15x

R(117) = 15*117

R(117) =  1755

The cost and revenue is $1755 for each. Because we get the same value, this confirms the correct x value.

Since 117 people is the breakeven point, the company should aim for an attendee count above this, so they can get a positive profit. At some point, there is a max capacity so x can't go up forever.
