A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a rectangular pen having area 24 square yards. Along one side the fence is to be ma

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The value is $C \approx \$76$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The area of the rectangular pen is $A = 24 \ yard^2$

The cost of material used to make one side is $z = \$ 6$

The cost of material used to make the other sides is $r = \$ 3$

Now , the fence to be build around the rectangular pen has four sides, the first opposite sides are equal, let assume each of the to be x yard and the other opposite sides are also equal as well let assume of the to be y yard

So the cost is mathematically represented as

$C = zx + r (x + 2y )$

=> $C = 6x + 3(x + 2y)$

=> $C = 9x + 6y$

Now the area of the fence is mathematically represented as

$A = x* y = 24$

=> $y = \frac{24}{x}$

=> $C = 9x + 6[\frac{24}{x} ]$

=> $C = 9x + [\frac{144}{x} ]$

Now differentiating

$C' = 9 + 144* (-2) x^{-2}$

$C' = 9 - 288x^{-2}$

At minimum $C' = 0$

$9 - 288x^{-2} = 0$

$x^{-2} = 0.03125$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{0.03125} }$

$x = 5.66$

Now substituting for x in the equation above to obtain minimum cost

$C = 9(5.66) + [\frac{144}{5.66} ]$

$C \approx \$76$

There are two numbers, one is 7 more than twice the other. The sum of the numbers is 43. Make the equation to find the smaller n

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Greater number: 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x equal to the smaller number.

Let y be equal to the greater number.

1) Translate the information into equations

"One is 7 more than twice the other"

⇒ $y=2x+7$

"The sum of the numbers is 43"

⇒ $x+y=43$

2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number

$x+y=43$

Plug the equation $y=2x+7$ into the above equation

$x+(2x+7)=43\\x+2x+7=43\\3x+7=43$

Subtract both sides by 7

$3x+7-7=43-7\\3x=36$

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{36}{3} \\x=12$

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.

3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number

$x+y=43$

Plug in x as 12

$12+y=43$

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

$12+y-12=43-12\\y=31$

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.

I hope this helps!

In 2013 number of students in a small school is 284.it is estimated that student population will increase by 4 percent

BaLLatris [955]

The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.

Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get

{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P

=284⋅1.04

We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.

\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7

We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.

\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P

=284⋅1.04

≈374

The student population will be about 374 in 2020.

Translate the equation using a variable. "Nineteen less than one-half of a number is -13."

Illusion [34]

Answer:

1/2a-19=-13

Step-by-step explanation:

One half of a number represents the phrase "1/2a" (in this case the variable/number is 'a'". Then because it says "nineteen less than", that means you subtract 19 from one half of the variable.
