Answer:

Dimensions: 75.3778 ft and 66.3325 ft

Minimum price: $1658.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length of the parking area 'x', and the width 'y'.

Then, we can write the following equations:

-> Area of the park:

x * y = 5000

-> Price of the fences:

P = 2*x*5.5 + y*5.5 + y*7

P = 11*x + 12.5*y

From the first equation, we have that y = 5000/x

Using this value in the equation for P, we have:

P = 11*x + 12.5*5000/x = 11*x + 62500/x

To find the minimum of this function, we need to take its derivative and then make it equal to zero:

dP/dx = 11 - 62500/x^2 = 0

x^2 = 65000/11

x = 250/sqrt(11) = 75.3778 ft

This is the x value that gives the minimum cost.

Now, finding y and P, we have:

x*y = 5000

y = 5000/75.3778 = 66.3325

P = 11*x + 62500/x = $1658.31

Answer:

your answer would be  t=-1 or t=1

Step-by-step explanation:

-(2t-3) = 3t-2

Multiply

     -2t+3 = 3t-2

Rearrange and Add up

     -5t = -5

Divide both sides by 5

-t = -1

Multiply both sides by (-1)

t = 1

Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Solve the Positive Case

     (2t-3) = 3t-2

Rearrange and Add up

     -t = 1

Multiply both sides by (-1)

     t = -1

have a great day!
