Answer:

x = 600 m

y = 1200 m

Amax = 720000  m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call x the smaller side of the rectangular plot and y the largest ( we assume we have one y side bounded by a river: Then

A(p)  Area of the plot x*y

A(p) = x*y

And perimeter of the plot ( to be fenced ) is:

P(p)  = 2*x + y = 2400     ⇒  y  = 2400 - 2*x

Area of rectangular plot as function of x:

A(x) = x * ( 2400 - 2x )

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

A´(x) = ( 2400 - 2x ) + (-2) *x    ⇒  A´(x) = ( 2400 - 2x ) - 2x

A´(x) = 0      ⇒   2400 - 4x = 0    ⇒  4x  = 2400  

x = 600 m

And y =  2400 - 2*x

y = 2400 - 1200

y = 1200 m

And the largest enclosed area is  Amax = 1200*600

Amax = 720000 m²

Solve the Equations
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1) -2.13

2) 2.57

3) 33

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

3(8 + 5h) = -28  Distribute the 3

24 + 15h = -28  Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation

15h = -32  Divide both sides by 15 and round

h = - 2.13

2)

19 = 7(3n - 5)  Distribute the 7

19 = 21n - 35  Add 35 to both sides of the equation

54 = 21n  Divide both sides of the equation by 21

2.57 = n

3)

6s - 7s = -33  Combine the s's

-s = -33  Multiply both sides by -1

s = 33

Solve ln 2 + ln x = 5. Round to the nearest thousandth, if possible.
azamat

Answer:

The  value of x nearest to thousandths is, 74.207

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve :  \ln 2 + \ln x = 5

\ln represents the logarithmic function with base e.

Using logarithmic properties:

  • \ln (mn) = \ln m + \ln n
  • \ln x = a , then x = e^a

\ln 2 + \ln x = 5

Apply the logarithmic properties; we have

\ln 2x = 5

then;

2x = e^5

or

2x=148.41315910258

Divide both sides by 2 we get;

x = 74.2065796

Therefore, the value of x nearest to thousandths is, 74.207
