A farmer has 520 feet of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one s

ide of the pen. The length of the barn is 310 feet. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area that can be enclosed under these conditions. (Hint: Be mindful of the domain of the function you are maximizing.)

Answer:

310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A farmer has 520 \text{ feet} of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one side of the pen. The length of the barn is 310 \text{ feet}.

TO FIND: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area that can be enclosed under these conditions.

SOLUTION:

Let the length of rectangle be x and y

perimeter of rectangular pen =2(x+y)=520\text{ feet}

                                                x+y=260

                                               y=260-x

area of rectangular pen =\text{length}\times\text{width}

                                       =xy

putting value of y

=x(260-x)

=260x-x^2

to maximize \frac{d \text{(area)}}{dx}=0

260-2x=0

x=130\text{ feet}

y=390\text{ feet}

but the dimensions must be lesser or equal to than that of barn.

therefore maximum length rectangular pen =310\text{ feet}

                              width of rectangular pen =210\text{ feet}

Maximum area of rectangular pen =310\times210=65100\text{ feet}^2

Hence maximum area of rectangular pen is 65100\text{ feet}^2 and dimensions are 310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}

A student says that the graph of the equation y = 3(x + 8) is the same as the graph of y = 3x, only translated upwards by 8 unit
Wittaler [7]

Given:

A student says that the graph of the equation y = 3(x + 8) is the same as the graph of y = 3x, only translated upwards by 8 units.

To find:

Whether the student is correct or not.

Solution:

Initial equation is

y=3x

f(x)=3x

Equation of after transformation is

y=3(x+8)

g(x)=3(x+8)

Now,

g(x)=f(x+8)      ...(i)

The translation is defined as

g(x)=f(x+a)+b        ...(ii)

Where, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

From (i) and (ii), we get

a=8\text{ and }b=0

Therefore, the graph of y=3x translated left by 8 units. Hence, the student is wrong.
