Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change  w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, subtract the rental fee. 357 - 85 = 272. Now, simply divide 272 by 68 to find the number of hours. 272 / 68 = 4.

Does anyone know the answer to this?
bezimeni [28]

Hey there!


First, let's find s:

s = (5 + 6 + 7) /2 = 9


Second, let's plug in the numbers into the formula:

A = \sqrt{9(9-7)(9-5)(9-6)}


Third, let's simplify the numbers to get one number under the square root:

A = [tex]\sqrt{216}


Fourth, we'll find the square root of 216 to get the area:

A = 14.697


Therefore, your answer is A.


Hope this helps!! :)

Find the vertex of the quadratic function
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(1.5,2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 6x + 7

Take the first derivative and set it equal to 0 (the slope is 0 at the vertex)

f'(x) = 4x -6

0 = 4x - 6

4x = 6

x = 3/2 or 1.5

If x = (3/2), then y = 2(3/2)^2 - 6(3/2) + 7

y = 2(9/4) - 18/2 + 7

y = (9/2) - 2

y = 2.5

See attached graph.

Answer:

  [-4,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the left-right (horizontal) extent of the function. The dots at the end of the continuous line are solid, so the brackets on the interval are square brackets.

The left dot is at x=-4; the right dot is at x=3, so the domain is ...
