Let the length be x and the width be w

The perimeter will be:
2x+3w=1500

thus
3w=(1500-2x)
w=(1500-2x)/3
w=500-2/3x

The area will be:
A=x*w
A=x(500-2/3x)
A=500x-(2/3)x²

The above is a quadratic equation; thus finding the axis of symmetry we will evaluate for the value of x that will give us maximum area.

Axis of symmetry:
x=-b/(2a)
from our equation:
a=(-2/3) and b=500
thus
x=-500/[2(-2/3)]
x=375
the length will be 375 m

The width will be 250 m

The density of people (number of people per mile) during the evening rush hour for the 5 mile stretch along a certain sidewalk i
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

a.  \int\limits^5_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(x) is the function for the populational density at a certain sidewalk for a 5 mile stretch, a definite integral of that function will yield the total number of people within the integration intervals. If we are interested in the number of people in the whole 5 mile stretch, we must integrate f(x) from x = 0 miles to x = 5 miles:

\int\limits^5_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Therefore, the answer is alternative a.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The answer to Jodie ran at an average speed of 6 km/h for 40 minutes.

How far did she run in km is 4 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 km/1 hr is the same as 6 km/ 60 min. Set up a proportion of (x km/ 6 km) =  ( 40 min/ 60 min)

Thus 60x = 240.... x=4/

I want to be earning an annual salary of $100,000 when i retire in 10 years. i have been offered a job that guarantees an annual
AURORKA [14]

For this case we have a function of the form:

y = A * (b) ^ x

Where,

A: starting salary

b: salary growth rate

x: number of years

y: salary after x years.

Substituting values we have:

100000 = A * (1.04) ^ {10}\\

From here, we clear the value of A.

We have then:

A=\frac{100000}{1.04^{10}}

A=67556.42

Answer:

the lowest salary that i should request in order to meet my goal is:

A=67556.42
