Given Information:
Area of rectangle = 16 square feet
Required Information:
Least amount of material = ?
Answer:
x = 4 ft and y = 4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a rectangle has area = xy and perimeter = 2x + 2y
We want to use least amount of material to design the sandbox which means we want to minimize the perimeter which can be done by taking the derivative of perimeter and then setting it equal to 0.
So we have
xy = 16
y = 16/x
p = 2x + 2y
put the value of y into the equation of perimeter
p = 2x + 2(16/x)
p = 2x + 32/x
Take derivative with respect to x
d/dt (2x + 32/x)
2 - 32/x²
set the derivative equal to zero to minimize the perimeter
2 - 32/x² = 0
32/x² = 2
x² = 32/2
x² = 16
x =
ft
put the value of x into equation xy = 16
(4)y = 16
y = 16/4
y = 4 ft
So the dimensions are x = 4 ft and y = 4 ft in order to use least amount of material.
Verification:
xy = 16
4*4 = 16
16 = 16 (satisfied)
We need to simplify

First lets factor


=


by applying the radical rule
![\sqrt[n]{ab} = \sqrt[n]{a} \sqrt[n]{b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bab%7D%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bb%7D%20)

By applying the radical rule
![\sqrt[n]{x^m} = x^{m/n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%20%3D%20x%5E%7Bm%2Fn%7D)
So

=

=

Now let's factor

By applying the radical rule
![\sqrt[n]{ab} = \sqrt[n]{a} \sqrt[n]{b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bab%7D%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%20%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bb%7D%20)
,

So

=

So

=

We know that
![\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%7D%20%3D%20x%5E%7B1%2Fn%7D)
so

We now have
We know that
So

We now got

We can notice that the numerator and the denominator both got √2 in a multiplication, so we can simplify them, and we get:

All in All, we get

=

Hope this helps! :D
Hi there
The future value formula is
Fv=pmt [(1+r)^(n)-1)÷r]
Solve the formula for PMT
PMT=Fv÷[(1+r)^(n)-1)÷r]
So
PMT=5,330÷(((1+0.08)^(24)−1)÷(0.08))
PMT=79.83
Good luck!
First you turn 16 to 0.16 then multiply 0.16 x 75 and you should get 12
I hope this helps you and your welcome : )
B. The equation is 4x = -48. Ben’s point total is -12.
