Dante's Mom wants to build a fence around their yard. Here are the measurements of the yard. What are the measurements of the mi

ssing side of the yard? How long will the fence be.

Answer:

(a)The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Therefore, the length of the fence is $97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the yard is attached below.

(a)I have labeled the missing dimensions of the yard as x and y.

Therefore:

$y+8\frac{1}{4}=17 \frac{1}{4}\\y=17 \frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{4}\\y=9$ feet$

Similarly:

$x+15\frac{1}{4}=31\frac{1}{2}\\x=31\frac{1}{2}-15\frac{1}{4}\\x=31-15+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\\x=16+\frac{1}{4}\\x=16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$

The missing measurements are 9 feet and $16\frac{1}{4}$ feet$ .

(b)Length of the Fence

The fence is rectangular shaped with:

Length = $31\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

Width = $17 \frac{1}{4}$ feet$

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L+W)

Therefore, the length of the fence

$=2(31\frac{1}{2}+17 \frac{1}{4})\\=2(31+17+\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{4})\\=2(48+ \frac{3}{4})\\=96+\frac{3}{2}\\=97\frac{1}{2}$ feet$

The automobile assembly plant you manage has a Cobb-Douglas production function given by p = 10x^0.2 y^0.8

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The variation needed for the daily buget to follow the increase in production for the first year is 12.38 $/year.

This value of Δy is not constant for a constant increase in production.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the production function is $p = 10x^{0.2} y^{0.8}$ , and in the current situation $p=1200$ and $x=130$ .

With this information we can calculate the actual budget level:

$p_0 = 10x^{0.2} y^{0.8}\\\\1200=10*130^{0.2} y^{0.8}\\\\1200=26.47*y^{0.8}\\\\y=(1200/26.47)^{1/0.8}=45.33^{1.25}=117.62$

The next year, with an increase in demand of 100 more automobiles, the production will be $p_1=1300$ .

If we calculate y for this new situation, we have:

$y_1=(\frac{p_1}{10x^{0.2}} )^{1.25}=(\frac{1300}{26.47} )^{1.25}=49.10^{1.25}=130$

The budget for the following year is 130.

The variation needed for the daily buget to follow the increase in production for the first year is 12.38 $/year.

$\Delta y=y_1-y_0=130.00-117.62=12.38$

This value of Δy is not constant for a constant increase in production.

Miles is planning to spend 2/3 as many hours bicycling this week as he did last week. Is Miles going to spend more hours or fewe

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Fewer hours

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 is a fraction and shows the parts of a whole. This means that 2/3 of last week is fewer than last week. Last week is the whole for example 15 hours. This week will be 2/3 or 2/3*15 = 10 hours. This week will be less than last week.

Write the terms a 1a1, a 2a2, a 3a3, and a 4a4 of the following sequence. If the sequence appears to converge, make a conjec

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WE are given that $a_n = \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{5n-4}$ . Then, to now the first for terms, we must replace n by 1,2,3,4 respectively. Then

$a_1 = \frac{(-1)^2}{5(1)-4} = \frac{1}{1}= 1$

$a_2 = \frac{(-1)^3}{5(2)-4} = \frac{-1}{6}$

$a_3 = \frac{(-1)^4}{5(3)-4} = \frac{1}{11}= 1$

$a_4 = \frac{(-1)^5}{5(4)-4} = \frac{-1}{16}= 1$

Note that as n increase, $a_n$ gets closer to 0. So, the limit of this sequence is 0.
