Problema Solution

You have 800 feet of fencing and you want to make two fenced in enclosures by splitting one enclosure in half. What are the largest dimensions of this enclosure that you could build?

Answer provided by our tutors

Make a drawing and denote:


x = half of the length of the enclosure


2x = the length of the enclosure


y = the width of the enclosure


P = 800 ft the perimeter


The perimeter of the two enclosures can be expressed P = 4x + 2y thus


4x + 3y = 800


Solving for y:

y = 800/3 - 4x/3


The area of the two enclosure is A = 2xy.


Substituting y = 800/3 - 4x/3 in A = 2xy we get


A = 2x(800/3 - 4x/3)


A =1600x/3 - 8x^2/3


We need to find the x for which the parabolic function A = (- 8/3)x^2 + (1600/3)x has maximum: 


x max = -b/2a, a = (-8/3), b = 1600/3


x max = (-1600/3)/(2*(-8/3))


x max = 100 ft


y = 800/3 - 4*100/3


y = 133.33 ft


2x = 2*100


2x = 200 ft

PLEASE HELP WILL CROWNNNNNN!!!!!
Serga [27]

Answer:

12

7

2

- 3

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

f ( - 2 )

= 2 - 5 ( - 2 )

= 2 - ( - 10 )

= 2 + 10

= 12

f ( - 1 )

= 2 - 5 ( - 1 )

= 2 - ( - 5 )

= 2 + 5

= 7

f ( 0 )

= 2 - 5 ( 0 )

= 2

f ( 1 )

= 2 - 5 ( 1 )

= 2 - 5

= - 5 + 2

= - 3

f ( 2 )

= 2 - 5 ( 2 )

= 2 - 10

= - 10 + 2

= - 8

Why would engineers and architects need to find angles in a polygon
agasfer [191]
As a engineer who was mechanical then electrical most buildings, schematics,etc require some form of calculation for some shapes seeing that those shapes are what make up the world. Say for example you need to make something like a mother board pro house knowing it's shape and angle helps make a more accurate structure during the blue printing and build phase. No one just goes in and wings it you need to determine angles for things you don't know that the point of it.
