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.

<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

7 \frac{1}{2}

<h3><u>Explan</u><u>ation</u><u>:</u></h3>

First, convert any mixed numbers to fractions. An easy way to convert:

4 \frac{1}{2}  = 4 \times 2 + 1

<h3>=</h3>

\frac{9}{2}  \div  \frac{3}{5}

Then, apply the fractions formula for division.

\frac{9 \times5 }{2 \times 3}  =  \frac{45}{6}

Then, simplify.

\frac{45}{6}   = 7 \frac{1}{2}

Given an investment of $2300, after 7 months, earning 6.6% APR, compounded monthly, the future value is given by
AVprozaik [17]

we are given

investment amount is 2300

so,

P=2300

r=6.6%

r=0.066

it is compounded monthly

so,

n=12

now, we can use formula

FV=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

now, we can plug values

t=7/12

and we get

FV=2300(1+\frac{0.066}{12})^{7}

now, we can find FV

FV= $2390.02454............Answer
