A. Equation of line l: y = mx + 20 where m = y' = 1- (1/250)x 

At the point Q, The equation of the line equals the equation of the parabola. 

So (1-x/250)x + 20 = x - x^2/500 

20 = x^2/250 - x^2/500 = x^2/500 
x = sqrt(20*500) = 100ft 

B. m = 1 - 100/250 = 3/5. 

<span>Equation of line L is y = 3/5x + 20 
</span>
C)  If a spotlight is located at the x intercept of line L (-33 1/3,0), its light will go only above line L past the point where line L is tangent to the hill at (100,80) because the hill blocks the light below the tangent line. 

<span>The highest point on the equation of y = x - x²/500 is at (250,125), so a tree 50 feet tall at that location would reach up to (250,175). The tangent line goes through (250,170), so the top 5 feet of the tree would be above the tangent line, in the glow of the spotlight.

zzz [600]

Answer:

  • width: 1.9 ft
  • length: 2.3 ft
  • height: 1.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectilinear shape is given by ...

  V = W·L·H . . . . . where W, L, and H represent width, length, and height

Filling in the given information, we want to find a solution to ...

  7.4 = x(x +0.4)(x -0.2)

If we write ...

  f(x) = x(x +0.4)(x -0.2)

Then we're looking for the value of x that satisfies ...

  f(x) -7.4 = 0

The attached graph shows that value to be 1.897, about 1.9 (feet). Then the desired kennel dimensions are ...

  • width: 1.9 ft
  • length: 2.3 ft
  • height: 1.7 ft
