The first thing we should do is write the functions.
 For the area we have:
 A = w * h = 20000 feet ^ 2
 The price is:
 Cost = (4 * 2 * h + 2 * 2 * w)
 Substitute for h ::
 C (w) = (4 * 2 * (20,000 / w) + 2 * 2w)
 Rewrite we have:
 C (w) = 160,000 / w + 4w
 Take the derivative:
 C '(w) = 160000 (-1 / w ^ 2) + 4
 We equal zero and clear w:
 0 = 160000 (-1 / w ^ 2) + 4
 160000 / w ^ 2 = 4
 w ^ 2 = 40000
 w = 200 (approximately)
 width = 200 ft; so cost is 2 * ($ 4) 200 = $ 1600
 height = 20000/200 = 100 ft; so cost is 2 ($ 2) 100 = $ 400
 Total cost = $ 2000
 Answer:
 The cost of the least expensive fence is:
 Total cost = $ 2000

Find the probability that the person selected is between 26 and 35
DerKrebs [107]

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.2426 = 24.26% probability that the person selected is between 26 and 35.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

Researching this problem on the internet, it is found that there is a table containing 1113 people, and out of 1113 people, 270 are between 26 and 35, hence the probability is given by:

p = 270/1113 = 0.2426.

If [infinity] cn8n n = 0 is convergent, can we conclude that each of the following series is convergent? (a) [infinity] cn(−3)n
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

a) we know that this is convergent.

b) we know that this might not converge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n8^n is convergent

Therefore,

(a)  \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n(-3)^n The power series \sum C_nx^n has radius of convergence at least as big as 8. So we definitely know it converges for all x satisfying -8<x≤8. In particular for x = -3

∴ \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n(-3)^n  is convergent.

(b) \sum^\infty_{n=0}C_n(-8)^n -8 could be right on the edge of the interval of convergence, and so might not converge
