A rectangular field on a farm is to be fenced in using the wall of the barn for one side and 200 meters of fencing for the other

three sides. The area A(x) in square meters of the field is a function of the length x in meters of each of the sides perpendicular to the barn wall

Answer:

Rectangular area as a function of x :   A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

A(max) = 5000 m²

Dimensions:

x = 50 m

l  = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

"x" is the length of the perpendicular side to the wall of the rectangular area to be fenced, and we call "l" the other side (parallel to the wall of the barn) then:

A(r) = x* l     and the perimeter of the rectangular shape is

P = 2*x + 2*l   but we won´t use any fencing material along the wll of the barn therefore

P  =  2*x + l       ⇒   200 = 2*x  + l      ⇒   l  = 200 - 2*x      (1)

And the rectangular area as a function of x is:

A(x)  = x * ( 200 - 2*x)  ⇒  A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  200 - 4*x     ⇒   A´= 0

Then    200 - 4*x  = 0     ⇒   4*x =  200   ⇒  x  = 50 m

We find the l value, plugging the value of x in equation (1)

l  = 200 - 2*x     ⇒ l = 200 - 2*50   ⇒  l = 100  m

A(max)  =  100*50

A(max)  = 5000 m²

Which diagram represents the vector addition C=A+B. Which represents vector subtraction C=A-B?
olga55 [171]
If the vectors point towards the same direction, the magnitude of the vector quantities are added as in, C = A + B. If they point towards opposite direction, the magnitudes are subtracted giving a resultant vector equal to C = A - B.

Mr. Granville needs some plywood that is about three over four-inch thick. Which plywood is closest to three over four-inch thic
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The plywood that is closest to three over four-inch thick is thirteen over sixteen inches thick

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

3/4 in

Verify each value

case A) 13/16 in

we know that

3/4 in=12/16 in ----> multiply by (4/4)

Find the difference

13/16-12/16=1/16 in

case B) 11/32 in

we know that

3/4 in=24/32 in ----> multiply by (8/8)

Find the difference

24/32-11/32==13/32 in

case C) 1/2 in

we know that

1/2 in=2/4 in ----> multiply by (2/2)

Find the difference

3/4-2/4=1/4 in

case D) 3/8 in

we know that

3/4 in=6/8 in ----> multiply by (2/2)

Find the difference

6/8-3/8=3/8 in

<em>Compare the values of the difference and find the less value</em>

we have

case A) 1/16=2/32 in

case B) 13/32 in

case C) 1/4=8/32 in

case D) 3/8=12/32 in

The less value is case A) 2/32 in

therefore

The plywood that is closest to three over four-inch thick is thirteen over sixteen inches thick

Which of the following is equivalent to sec2θ−1sec2θ for all values of θ for which sec2θ−1sec2θ is defined?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

2 sin^2 \theta

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the following information is given:

= \frac{sec^2 \theta - 1 }{sec^2 \theta}

= (\frac{1}{\frac{cos^2\theta}{\frac{1}{cos^2\theta} }} - 1)

= 1 - cos^2\theta\\\\= 1 - (1 - 2 sin^2 \theta)\\\\= 2 sin^2 \theta

Therefore for the given equation, the answer is 2 sin^2 \theta

Write functions for each of the following transformations using function notation. Choose a different letter to represent each f
joja [24]

Answer:

1. Translation: g(x) = f(x-a)+b.

2. Reflection around y-axis: h(x) = f(-x)

3. Reflection around x-axis: k(x) = -f(x)

4. Rotation of 90° : R_{90} (x,y)=(-y,x)

5. Rotation of 180° : R_{180} (x,y)=(-x,-y).

6. Rotation of 270° : R_{180} (x,y)=(y,-x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the transformations namely translation, reflection are applied to a function f(x) and the rotation is applied to the point ( x,y ).

So, according to the options:

We know that 'translation moves the image in horizontal and vertical direction'.

1. As we have to translate the function f(x) 'a' units to the right and 'b' units up. So, the new form of the function becomes g(x) = f(x-a)+b.

Further, we know that 'reflection means to flip the image around a line'.

2. As, we have to reflect the function f(x) around y-axis. The new form of the function is h(x) = f(-x).

3. As, we have to reflect the function f(x) around x-axis. The new form of the function is k(x) = -f(x).

Since, 'rotation turns the image around a point to a certain degree'.

4. As, we have to rotate ( x,y ) counter-clockwise to 90° about the origin, the new form of the function is R_{90} (x,y)=(-y,x).

5. As, we have to rotate ( x,y ) counter-clockwise to 180° about the origin, the new form of the function is R_{180} (x,y)=(-x,-y).

6. As, we have to rotate ( x,y ) counter-clockwise to 270° about the origin, the new form of the function is R_{180} (x,y)=(y,-x).
