Suppose a rectangular pasture is to be constructed using 1 2 linear mile of fencing. The pasture will have one divider parallel

to one pair of sides and two dividers parallel to the other pair of sides, so that there are six congruent enclosures. What is the maximum total area of such a pasture, in square feet?

Answer:

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{192}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Maximization With Derivatives</u>

Given a function of one variable A(x), we can find the maximum or minimum value of A by using the derivatives criterion. If A'(x)=0, then A has a probable maximum or minimum value.

We need to find a function for the area of the pasture. Let's assume the dimensions of the pasture are x and y, and one divider goes parallel to the sides named y, and two dividers go parallel to x.

The two divisions parallel to x have lengths y, thus the fencing will take 4x. The three dividers parallel to y have lengths x, thus the fencing will take 3y.

The amount of fence needed to enclose the external and the internal divisions is

P=4x+3y

We know the total fencing is 1/2 miles long, thus

\displaystyle 4x+3y=\frac{1}{2}

Solving for x

\displaystyle x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-3y}{4}

The total area of the pasture is

A=x.y

Substituting x

\displaystyle A=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-3y}{4}.y

\displaystyle A=\frac{\frac{1}{2}y-3y^2}{4}

Differentiating with respect to y

\displaystyle A'=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-6y}{4}

Equate to 0

\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{2}-6y}{4}=0

Solving for y

\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{12}

And also

\displaystyle x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-3\cdot \frac{1}{12}}{4}=\frac{1}{16}

Compute the second derivative

\displaystyle A''=-\frac{3}{2}.

Since it's always negative, the point is a maximum

Thus, the maximum area is

\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{12}\cdot \frac{1}{16}=\frac{1}{192}

There are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Tim must read 2 books from a list of 7 recommended books for his summer reading program

To find: different ways can Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended books

This is a combination problem

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which objects are selected

<em><u>The formula for combinations is:</u></em>

n C_{r}=\frac{n !}{r !(n-r) !}

where n represents the number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time

Here we have to choose 2 books from 7 books

Therefore, n = 7 and r = 2

<em><u>Substituting values in above formula, we get</u></em>

\begin{aligned}&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 !(7-2) !}\\\\&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 ! \times 5 !}\end{aligned}

For a number n, the factorial of n can be written as,

n !=n \times(n-1) \times(n-2) \dots \dots \times 2 \times 1

Therefore, we get

7 C_{2}=\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\\\\7C_2 = 7 \times 3 = 21

Thus there are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

I need help with numbers 1 and 2
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

1.No, 143 is not a prime number. The list of all positive divisors the list of all integers that divide 143 is as follows: 1, 11, 13, 143. To be 143 a prime number, it would have been required that 143 has only two divisors, itself and 1.

2.Since the polynomial can be factored, it is not prime.
