Let width be x so
Length is equal to x+6
Perimeter= 2(l+b)
So perimeter=2(x+x+6)
P=2(2x+6)
4x+12=64 (given)
Send 12 to the other side then,
4x=64-12=52
X=52/4=13

Suppose that p is the probability that a randomly selected person is left handed. The value (1-p) is the probability that the pe
solmaris [256]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for p such that 1000p(1-p) is maximized. Once we have that p, we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes 1000p(1-p) is the same as finding the value that maximizes p(1-p), just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize p(1-p). To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4.

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of p such that the inner part of the square term is equal to 0.

p-1/2=0\\p=1/2.

So, the answer to part a is \boxed{1/2}.

We can then plug 1/2 into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.

1000(1/2)(1-1/2)=1000(1/2)(1/2)=1000*1/4=250.

So, the answer to part b is \boxed{250}.

And we're done!

A developer wants to enclose a rectangular grassy lot that borders a city street for parking. If the developer has 220 feet of f
MrRa [10]

Answer:

6050 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the diagram attached, the area which the available fencing can enclose will measure X x Y feet. As the total length of fencing available is 220 feet, the fenced perimeter must equal 220 feet

Y + 2X = 220

Y = 220 - 2X

Area of a rectangle is determined by multiplying the length of perpendicular sides:

Area = X*Y

Area = X(220 - 2X)

Area = 220X - 2X^{2}

The derivative of an equation determines the slope at any given point of that equation. At the maximum or minimum point of the equation, the slope will be zero. Therefore, differentiating the equation for area and equating it to zero will give the value of X where the area is maximum.

A simple variable can be differentiated using below concept:

f(a) = a^{b}

f'(a) = ba^{b-1}

Using the above concepts to differentiate Area and calculate X will give:

Area = 220X - 2X^{2}

Area' = 220 - 4X = 0

X = 55

Calculating Y:

Y = 220 - 2X

Y = 220 - 2(55)

Y = 110

Calculating Area:

Area = X*Y

Area = 55*110

Area = 6050\sqfeet

A cylindrical grain bin has a radius of 7 feet and a height of 25 feet. How many cubic feet can the unit hold?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

3847 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is V = πr²h.

Here, the volume is V = π(7 ft)²(25 ft) = 1225π ft³, or approximately 3847 ft³.
