Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the owner of a motel has 2900 m of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot of land that borders a straight highway.

Fencing is used for 2times length and 1 width if highway side is taken as width

So we have 2l+w = 2900

Or w = 2900-2l

Area of the rectangular region = lw

A(l) = l(2900-2l) = 2900l-2l^2\\

Use derivative test to find the maximum

A'(l) = 2900-4l\\A"(l) = -4

So maximum when I derivative =0

i.e when l =\frac{2900}{4} =725

Largest area = A(725)

= 725(2900-2*725)\\= 1051250

1051250 sqm is area maximum

2x + y = 8
x - y = 10
--------------add
3x = 18
x = 6

x - y = 10
6 - y = 10
-y = 10 - 6
-y = 4
y = -4

solution is : (6,-4)

Factor each completely. <br><br>10a² - 9a + 2 <br><br>​
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a= \frac{2}{5} or \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the equation to zero

10a^{2}-9a+2=0

10a^{2}-5a-4a+2=0

5a(2a-1)-2(2a-1)=0

Write out the factors

(5a-2)(2a-1)=0

Then equate each factor to zero

5a-2=0 OR 2a-1=0

5a=2  OR  2a=1

a= \frac{2}{5}   OR a= \frac{1}{2}

a=\frac{2}{5} or \frac{1}{2}

suter [353]

Answer: 38

Step-by-step explanation:

3.8=19/5

u have to flip the reciprocal to divide by fraction so 1/10 will be just 10

Then u get 19/5 x 10

You can reduce the GCF so it would be 19 x 2

19 x 2 = 38

Or you can plug it into your calculator (3.8 x .1)
