Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the fence = x

Let the width of the fence = y

 Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by 2(L+B) , but the farmer is using the side of the barn on one side of the rectangle , so the perimeter equation is  

x + 2y = 48

 Area = xy

 If we substitute the perimeter equation so that the area is only in terms of y.

 

Area = (48 - 2y)y

Area = 48y - 2y^{2}

 Now just find the vertex of the parabola

 Area = -2 y^{2}+ 48y

A = -2 y^{2} + 48

Differentiate A with respect to y

\frac{dA}{dy} = -4y + 48

equate it to zero , we have

-4y + 48 = 0

4y = 48

y = 12

Substitute y = 12 into equation 1, we have

x = 48 - 2y

x = 48 - 2(12)

x = 48 - 24

x = 24

Therefore the dimensions of the garden are 24 by 12

The maximum area is 288 square unit

13. The perimeter P (in yards) of a soccer field is represented by the formula P = 24 + 2w,
rjkz [21]

Answer:

w = \frac{1}{2}(P - 24)

w = 153\ yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = 24 + 2w

Require

Solving (a):

P = 24 + 2w

Subtract 24 from both sides

P-24 = 24-24 + 2w

P-24 = 2w

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{1}{2}(P - 24) = \frac{2w}{2}

\frac{1}{2}(P - 24) = w

w = \frac{1}{2}(P - 24)

Solving (b):

Substitute 330 for P un the expression in (1)

w = \frac{1}{2}(330 - 24)

Evaluate the bracket

w = \frac{1}{2}(306)

w = 153\ yards

Calculus 1 question I need help with
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = e^(8x⁵−8x)

Since f(x) is continuous:

lim(x→1) f(x) = f(1)

lim(x→1) f(x) = 1

What is the answer to this question?
Degger [83]

Answer:

y = -\frac{19}{9}x + \frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

19x + 9y = 15

Required:

Rewrite in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

SOLUTION:

19x + 9y = 15

Subtract 19x from both sides

9y = -19x + 15

Divide both sides by 9

y = -19x/9 + 15/9

y = -\frac{19}{9}x + \frac{5}{3}
