You have D dollars to buy fence to enclose a rectangular plot of land (see figure at right). The fence for the top and bottom co
alex41 [277]

The perimeter of the rectangular plot of land is given by the expression below

P=2x+2y

On the other hand, since the available money to buy fence is D dollars,

\begin{gathered} D=4(2x)+3(2y) \\ \Rightarrow D=8x+6y \\ D\rightarrow\text{ constant} \end{gathered}

Furthermore, the area of the enclosed land is given by

A=xy

Solving the second equation for x,

\begin{gathered} D=8x+6y \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6y}{8} \end{gathered}

Substituting into the equation for the area,

\begin{gathered} A=(\frac{D-6y}{8})y \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{D}{8}y-\frac{3}{4}y^2 \end{gathered}

To find the maximum possible area, solve A'(y)=0, as shown below

\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}(y)=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{D}{8}-\frac{3}{2}y=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{3}{2}y=\frac{D}{8} \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{D}{12} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the corresponding value of x is

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{D}{12} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6(\frac{D}{12})}{8}=\frac{D-\frac{D}{2}}{8}=\frac{D}{16} \end{gathered}<h2>Thus, the dimensions of the fence that maximize the area are x=D/16 and y=D/12.</h2><h2>As for the used money,</h2>\begin{gathered} top,bottom:\frac{8D}{16}=\frac{D}{2} \\ Sides:\frac{6D}{12}=\frac{D}{2} \end{gathered}<h2>Half the money was used for the top and the bottom, while the other half was used for the sides.</h2>

3. Ruby and Sapphire love strawberries. Ruby starts out with 10 strawberries and finds 3 more
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken for them to have the same number of strawberries be x minutes.

<u>Initially</u>

Ruby: 10 strawberries

Sapphire: 30 strawberries

<u>After x minutes</u>

Ruby: (10 +3x) strawberries

Sapphire: (30 -2x) strawberries

Since we let x minutes be the amount of time that has passed when they have the same amount of strawberries,

10 +3x= 30 -2x

Bring all x terms to one side, constant to the other:

3x +2x= 30 -10

Simplify:

5x= 20

Divide both sides by 5:

x= 20 ÷5

x= 4

∴ It will take 4 minutes.
