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

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST AND 3 THANKS I NEED HELP WITH THIS PLZ THANK YOU

Ok so remember
order of simplification
PEMDAS
parenthaseese
exponents
multiplicaton or division whichever comes first
addition or subtraction whichever comes first

ok so remmeber work from the left to right parenthasees first and work from inside to outer parenthasees

so first one

innermost parenthasees first so
first step is 2-4
subtract 4 from 2


second one
if xy=0 then assume x and y=0 so
(a+2)(b-9)=0
a+2=0
a=-2

b-9=0
b=9

so answe ris a=-2
b=9


third questions

innermost parenthaees first
subtract 4 from 2






ok
1. subtrac 4 from 2
2. a=-2, b=9
3. subtract 4 from 2

Ive dont most of it on my own but need help solving the last bit thats left. Its inequality symbols
Gelneren [198K]
True or false?
ok, so just use your head and use this simple memory tool
for remembering inequalities, the aligator eats the bigger number
x>y means x is biger than y
x<y means x is smaller than y or y is bigger than x

remember: the farther to the right a number is, the bigger it is
8<9
and
-10<-3 since -3 is farther to right than -10

so see them
b. 5>7, duh, false
c. 15≥17, are you kidding me, false
d. true
e. nay, no negative number is ever greater than a positive, false
f. true, -2  is farther to the right than -13 is
g. x>4, x is any number bigger than 4, not including 4
h. x is any number bigger than 8, not including 8
i. x is less than or equal to -4, so it can be -5, or even -4

How do I solve this? help please! xx
Anna35 [415]
This graph is composed of four straight line segments.  You'll need to determine the slope, y-intercept and domain for each of them.   Look at the first segment, the one on the extreme left.  Verify yourself that the slope of this line segment is 1 and that the y-intercept would be 0 if you were to extend this segment all the way to the y-axis.  Thus, the rule (formula, equation) for this line segment would be f(x)=1x+0, or just f(x)=x, for (-3,-1).  Use a similar approach to write rules for the remaining three line segments.

Present your answer like this:
               x, (-3,-1)
f(x) =      -1, (-1,0)
