You have 800 feet of fencing and you want to make two fenced in enclosures by splitting one enclosure in half. What are the largest dimensions of this enclosure that you could build?

Answer provided by our tutors

Make a drawing and denote:

x = half of the length of the enclosure

2x = the length of the enclosure

y = the width of the enclosure

P = 800 ft the perimeter

The perimeter of the two enclosures can be expressed P = 4x + 2y thus

4x + 3y = 800

Solving for y:

y = 800/3 - 4x/3

The area of the two enclosure is A = 2xy.

Substituting y = 800/3 - 4x/3 in A = 2xy we get

A = 2x(800/3 - 4x/3)

A =1600x/3 - 8x^2/3

We need to find the x for which the parabolic function A = (- 8/3)x^2 + (1600/3)x has maximum: 

x max = -b/2a, a = (-8/3), b = 1600/3

x max = (-1600/3)/(2*(-8/3))

x max = 100 ft

y = 800/3 - 4*100/3

y = 133.33 ft

2x = 2*100

2x = 200 ft

An object has been thrown straight up into the air. The formula h = vt - 16t^2 gives the height of the object above the ground a
Oxana [17]

Answer:

8 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to find the time, t, when h = 0, that is, when the height of the object above the ground is 0 feet.

Substituting v = 128 feet per second and h = 0 gives  the quadratic:

0 = 128t - 16t^{2}

Since 128 is divisible by 16, it can be reduced to 0 = 16(8t - t^{2}).

We must now solve for t.

We can easily see that one answer to the equation is 0,

8(0) - (0)^{2} = 0 (we need not concern ourselves with the 16 outside of the parenthesis as in the equation above, since 16 multiplied by 0 is 0). However this is the time the object is released into the air.

The second answer, t = 8 is also easy to see by inspection:

8(8) - (8)^{2} = 0.

Therefore the object lands 8 seconds after it is thrown.

Write an equation for an ellipse centered at the orgin, which has foci ( plus minus 3, 0) and co-vertices at (0, plus minus 4)
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The co-vertices of an ellipse are the endpoints of the minor axis. The equation for an ellipse is given by:

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} +\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

Where (h, k) is the center of the ellipse, (h, k±b) is the co-vertices, (h ± a, k) is the vertices, (h ± c, k) is the foci and c² = a² - b²

Since the center is the origin, hence (h, k) = (0, 0). i.e h = 0, k = 0.

Foci = (h ± c, k) = (± c, 0) = (±3, 0). c = 3

co-vertices = (h, k±b)  = (0, ±b)  = (0, ±4). b = 4

c² = a² - b²

a² = c² + b²

a² = 3² + 4² = 25

a = 5

Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:

\frac{x^2}{5^2} +\frac{y^2}{4^2}=1 \\\\\frac{x^2}{25} +\frac{y^2}{16}=1
