You want to fence in a rectangular vegetable patch. The fencing for the east and west sides costs $4 per foot, and the fencing f

or the north and south sides costs only $2 per foot. You have a budget of $80 for the project. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the vegetable patch with the largest area you can enclose.

Answer:

East and west side= 5 foot

South and north side = 10 foot

Area = 50 foot^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

East and west fencing cost= $4 per foot

South and north fencing cost $2 per foot

So, we can consider:

x= south and north fencing

y= east and west fencing

Then we create an equation representing the case:

Total cost = (south+north)*$2 + (east+west)*$4

80 =(x+x)*2 + (y+y)*4

80 =(2x)*2 + (2y)*4

80 =4x + 8y

80 =4*(x+2y)

80/4 =x+2y

20 = x+2y

x= 20-2y

We can calculate the area as width * length:

Area = length * width

Area= x * y

Area= (20 - 2y) * y

area= 20y - 2y^2

Next step is to find the "y" value for the maximum area so you can derivate and equal to 0 to find maximums:

d(20y - 2y^2)/dy = 20 - 2*2y = 20 - 4y

20 - 4y = 0

20 = 4y

y = 20/4

y = 5

If y = 5, then:

x = 20 - 2y

x = 20 - 2*5

x = 20 - 10

x = 10

John took all his money from his savings account. He spent $88 on a radio and 1/4 of what was left on presents for his friends.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$968

Step-by-step explanation:

x= the money John originally had in his savings account

The statement says that John spent $88 on a radio and 1/4 of what was left on presents for his friends. This means that the remaining money is 3/4 of the total amount minus the money spent on the radio:

3/4(x-88)

Then, it says that of the money remaining, John put 4/11 into a checking account and the last remaining $420 was left to charity. Since, he spent 4/11 of the remining 3/4(x-88), the remaining is 7/11 of that and that remaining is equal to $420 that was the money left at the end:

7/11(3/4(x-88))= 420

21/44(x-88)=420

21/44x-42=420

21/44x=462

x=968

According to this, the money that John originally had in his savings account was $968.

He spent $88 on a radio: 968-88= 880

1/4 of what was left on presents for his friends: 880/4= 220

880-220=660

Of the money remaining, John put 4/11 into a checking account: 660*(4/11)=240

the last remaining $420 was left to charity: 660-240= 420

The revenue from selling x units of a product at a price of p dollars per unit is given by xp, For a particular commodity, the r
marshall27 [118]

> Factor the expression for the revenue

We are given that the revenue is the product of price and number of units sold = x p. Given the equation of revenue we factor it:

R = 800 x – 0.25 x^2

Take out x from the equation:

R = x (800 – 0.25 x)

We see that this is now in the form x p

> Determine an expression for the price in terms of x

From the factored equation we can say that the price in terms of x is:

<span>p = 800 – 0.25 x</span>
