Suppose a farmer wants to fence off a rectangular area with three sides of a rectangle, using a river as the fourth side. He has

100 yards of fence to use. Let x denote the length of the side of the rectangle parallel to the river. Find a formula for the function A(x) that gives the area as a function of x. What is the domain of this function based on the formula and what is it based on the context of the problem?

A = Area
x = Side Parallel to the river.

a = (\frac{x}{2}) \times x

Which in your context results to:

x = 100 \div 2
1250 = ( \frac{50}{2} ) \times 50

Area = 1250 yards squared

Kipish [7]

Answer:

E(Y) = $0.5

Var(Y)  = 14.25

you should pay the same amount  $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

E(Y) =  = Σ(YP)

P = probability of each outcomes.

Var(Y) = ΣY^{2}p − (μ x μ)

E(Y) = (2 x 0.25) +(6 x 0.25) + (0.5 x (-3)) = $0.5

Var(Y) = (2^{2}\\x 0.25) + (6^{2} x 0.25) +(-3^{2} x 0.5) - (0.5^{2})

       = 14.5 - 0.25

Var(Y)  = 14.25

for the difference between the payoff and cost of playing to have mean 0, you should pay the same amount  $0.5

Find the equation of the straight line through (–2, 3) perpendicular<br> to 2x + y =8
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

We need to find the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b.

The line we need is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = 8.

<em>The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.</em>

We solve the given equation for y to find the slope of the given line.

2x + y = 8

y = -2x + 8

The given line has slope -2.

The negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.

Our line has slope, m = 1/2.

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + b

Now we use the given point, (-2, 3), for x and y, using x = -2, and y = 3, and we solve for b.

y = 1/2 x + b

3 = 1/2 * (-2) + b

3 = -1 + b

4 = b

b = 4

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + 4

Answer: y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4

to fill a coffee mug at a local shop costs $2.50. the shop sells coffee beans foe $12 per pound. each pound makes enough coffee
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

There are a few possible answers so read explanation, but the one I will put up here is:

20.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find how much 100 cups of coffee costs in store.

To do this you will multiply 2.50 by 100 and get 250. So now we know 100 cups of coffee in store costs $250 whereas 100 cups at home is $12.

To find how many times greater the price in store is compared to the at home brew, you have to divide 250 by 12 and get 20.8333333....

We don't stop there though, because it asks us to approximate. I am not sure what it would like us to round to, but here are some possible approximations:

  1. 20.83
  2. 20.8
  3. 21

Any of those re reasonable approximations, you choose whichever you think the question wants, or whatever your teacher asks for.

Hope this helps
