A rancher wants to enclose a rectangular field with 220 ft of fencing.
One side is a river and will not require a fence.
What is the maximum area that can be enclosed?
:
The field requires only 3 sides of fence, therefore
L + 2W = 220
L = (220-2W); we can use this for substitution in the Area equation
:
Area
A = L*W
replace L with (220-2W)
A = W(220-2W)
A = -2W^2 + 220W
A quadratic equation, max A occurs at the axis of symmetry, x = -b/(2a)
In this equation
W = %28-220%29%2F%282%2A-2%29
W = 55 ft is the width for max area
:
Find the max area
A = -2(55^2) + 220(55)
A = -2(3025) + 12100
A = 6050 sq/ft is the max area
:
:
Confirm this with the dimensions calculated; 110 * 55 = 6050

Sarah Meeham blends coffee for Tasti-Delight. She needs to prepare 120 pounds of blended coffee beans selling for $5.17 per poun
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a) 80 ibs

b) 40 ibs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the pound of the high quality bean at $6.50

(120-x) will be the pound of the cheaper bean at $2.50

6.5x + 2.5(120 - x) = 5.17(120)

6.5x + 300 - 2.5x = 620.4

Collect like terms

6.5x - 2.5x = 620.4 - 300

4x = 320.4

x = 320.4/4

x= 80.1

x = 80 ibs(to the nearest pounds)

For the cheaper bean we have 120 -x

= 120 - 80

= 40 ibs

Sarah would blend 80 ibs of quality bean and 40 ibs of cheaper bean

Point A is (-6,-5) Point C is (4,0) Find the coordinates of point B on AC such that the ratio of AB to BC is 2:3.
Fed [463]

Answer:

(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x coord. from -6 to 4 is 10 units / 5 parts = 2

point B is 2 units * 2 from point A, so x = -2

y coord. from -5 to 0 is 5 units / 5 parts = 1

point B is 2 units * 1 from point A, so y = -3

You put $800 in an account that earns 4% simple interest. Find the total amount in your account after each year for 3 years. (Pl
alexandr402 [8]
To get 4% of 800 you times 800 by 4 and divide it by 100. Once you have that amount you add it to 800 to find the amount you will have in your bank the first year. To get the next year's amount you then get 4% of 832(because after the first year you have more than $800) and then add the 4% to 832, that is the answer for the second year. To find the third year's amount you get 4% of the new amount (last year's total) and add it to last year's total, that is your total for the third year. So the first year will be: (800x4÷100)+800 =32+800 =832 The second year will be: 832+(832x4÷100) =832+33.28 =865.28 The third year will be: (865.28×4÷100)+865.28 =34.61(rounded off)+865.28 =899.89
