Answer:

C(x) = \$3.50(\frac{x^2+7200}{x})

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Area of the field = 3600 square feet

Fencing charges = $3.50 per foot

Let the side along the river be 'x' feet and the other side of the 'B'

now,

Area of rectangle = Bx = 3600 square feet

or

B = \frac{3600}{x} feet

and total length to be fenced = x + 2B

therefore,

Total cost of fencing = Fencing charges × total length to be fenced

or

Total cost of fencing = $3.50 × ( x + 2B )

substituting the value of B from (1)

Total cost of fencing, C(x) = \$3.50(x+2\times\frac{3600}{x})

or

C(x) = \$3.50(\frac{x^2+7200}{x})

Answer:

x = 20.75

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Solve for x</u>

4x + (-9) = 74

4x - 9 + 9 = 74 + 9

4x / 4 = 83 / 4

x = 20.75

Express 0.484848..... in p/q form​
cupoosta [38]
<h3>Answer:  16/33</h3>

It's in p/q form where p = 16 and q = 33.

=======================================================

Work Shown:

x = 0.484848.....

100x = 48.4848.....

I multiplied both sides by 100 to move the decimal over 2 spots. Both decimal values for x and 100x have an infinite string of "48"s repeated after the decimal point. When we subtract, those infinite strings will cancel out

100x - x = 99x

48.4848..... - 0.484848..... = 48

So after subtracting straight down, we have the new equation 99x = 48 which solves to x = 48/99

Divide both parts by the GCF 3 to fully reduce

48/3 = 16

99/3 = 33

Therefore, x = 48/99 = 16/33 = 0.484848...

I recommend using a calculator to confirm that 16/33 = 0.484848...

Side note: your calculator may round the last digit, but this is of course rounding error
