Answer:

Maximum area possible

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²

Dimensions:

a  = 62,5  ft

w  = 62,5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangular fencing    P  =  250 feet

And sides of the rectangle  a  and  w (width of rectangle)

Then

A =  a*w

2a  + 2w  = 250       ⇒  a  =  (250 -2w)/ 2    ⇒  a = 125 - w

f(w)  =  (125  - w ) *w        f(w)  = 125w - w²  

Taking derivatives both sides of the equation

f´(w)   =  125  - 2w              f´(w)   = 0           125  - 2w = 0

w = 125/2

w = 62,5 ft            ⇒  a = 125 - 62,5

a = 62,5 ft

f(max)  = ( 62,5)²

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²

Which do the following equations represent? -4x-5y=-4 and 10x-8y=-1
kicyunya [14]
Parallel have same slope
Perpendicular have opposite reciprocal slopes. Ex. 2/3 is slope of one line so the perpendicular line would have slope of -3/2.

Find slopes of these lines.

-4x-5y=-4
-4x+4 =5y
Divide by 5

Y= -4x/5 +4/5

Second line: 10x-8y=-1

10x+1=8y
Divide by 8

10x/8 +1/8 =y

Y= 5x/4 +1/8

So if you look at slope of line 1= -4/5 and line 2 it’s 5/4 so these both are perpendicular.

As a fraction in simplest terms, what would you multiply the first number by to get the second? First number: 62 Second number:
polet [3.4K]

We will multiply by 26 / 31 in the first number to get second number for fraction in simplest form.

What is mean by Fraction?

A fraction is a part of whole number, and a way to split up a number into equal parts.

Given that;

In the fraction,

The first number = 62

The second number = 52

Let the number which can be multiply by the fraction = x

Since, The given condition is,

Multiply the first number by to get the second number.

So, We can formulate;

⇒ 62 × x = 52

Solve for x, as;

⇒ 62 × x = 52

⇒ 62x = 52

Divide by 62, we get;

⇒ x = 52 / 62

Multiply and divide by 2;

⇒ x = 26 / 31

Therefore,

We will multiply by the number 26 / 31 in the first number to get second number for fraction in simplest form.
