Answer:

The length of 20 feet and width of 40 feet will result in the least amount of fencing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let w represent width and l represent length of the rectangle.

We have been given that a rectangular area against a wall is to be fenced off on the other three sides to enclose 800 square feet.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length that is:

A=w\cdot l

800=w\cdot l This is our constraint equation.

We can see from the attachment that the fencing would be for 3 sides that is:

\text{Perimeter}=l+l+w

P=2l+w This is our objective equation.

From constraint equation, we will get:

w\cdot l=800

w=\frac{800}{l}

Substitute this value in objective equation:

P=2l+\frac{800}{l}

P=2l+800l^{-1}

Let us find the derivative of objective equation.

P'=2-800l^{-2}

Now, we will set the derivative equal to 0 to solve for length:

2-800l^{-2}=0

2-\frac{800}{l^2}=0

-\frac{800}{l^2}=-2

Cross multiply:

-2l^2=-800

\frac{-2l^2}{-2}=\frac{-800}{-2}

l^2=400

Take positive square root:

l=\sqrt{400}

l=20

Upon substituting l=20 in w=\frac{800}{l}, we will get:

w=\frac{800}{20}

w=40

Therefore, the length of 20 feet and width of 40 feet will result in the least amount of fencing.

TEA [102]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

a) √x + 6 = 4                                                    

to solve the above equation subtract both side with 6

    √x + 6 - 6  = 4 - 6                  

                √x  = -2                  

squaring both side

                (√x)² = (-2)²              

                       x = 4            

a) ∛x + 6 = 4                                            

to solve the above equation subtract both side with 6

    ∛x + 6 - 6  = 4 - 6

                ∛x  = -2

cubing  both side

                (√x)³ = (-2)³

                      x = -8

Dina has a number cube that she uses for a game. The number cube has the shape of a triangular pyramid, with 4 faces numbered 1
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A) The relative frequencies in the table are reasonably close; C) The relative frequency of rolling an even number is 0.51.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relative frequencies given are at most 0.02 apart.  This means they are reasonably close.

The theoretical probability for each outcome would be 1/4, or 0.25; this means the theoretical probability of rolling an even number would be 0.50, not 0.51.

However, the relative frequency of rolling an even number would be 0.24+0.27 = 0.51.

Since the relative frequencies are reasonably close, the number cube is likely to be fair.

  • you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.
  • Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
<h3>How many buses would it take to carry only the boys?</h3>

We know that there are (3 + 1/2) groups, such that each group fill one bus.

2/5 of the students are boys, then the number of groups that we can make only with boys is:

(2/5)*(3 + 1/2) = 6/5 + 1/5 = 7/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 1 + 2/5

Then you can make one and a little less than a half of a group, which means that you need 1 and 2/5 of a buss to transport the boys, rounding that to the a whole number, you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.

<h3>How far is Mark from his house?</h3>

The original distance is:

D = (2 + 3/4) miles.

But Mark only covers 2/3 of that distance, then we have:

d = (2/3)*D = (2/3)*(2 + 3/4) miles = (4/3 + 2/4) miles

d = (4/3 + 1/2) miles = (8/6 + 3/6) miles = (1 + 5/6) miles

Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
