Answer:

x = 18.9737 ft

y = 15.8114 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Area of rectangle garden A = 300 ft^2

- Cost of one side fencing = $25 /ft

- Cost of second side fencing = $10 /ft

Find:

- Find the dimensions to minimize the cost.

Solution:

- Develop a total cost function for the rectangular garden as follows:

                         Total Cost = x*25 + 3*y*10

                            T.C = 25*x + 30*y

- Use the area expression to find the relationship between x and y dimensions:

                              A = x*y

                              300 = x*y

                              y = 300 / x

- Input the above relationship into the total cost function:

                              T.C = 25*x + 30*300/x

                              T.C = 25*x + 9000/x

- To minimize the function, take its derivative with respect to dimension x:

                              dC/dx = 25 - 9000/x^2

- Set derivative to 0:

                               0 = 25 - 9000/x^2

Solve for x:

                               0 = 25x^2 - 9000

                                x = sqrt(9000/25)

                               x = 18.9737 ft

- The corresponding dimension y is:

                              y = 300/18.9737 = 15.8114 ft

Solve the iniquality 6x - 8 > 4x + 26
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

x > 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 8 to both sides:

6x - 8 > 4x + 26

6x > 4x + 34

Subtract 4x from both sides:

2x > 34

Divide each side by 2:

x > 17

So, the solution is x > 17

If the parent function f(x)= 3sq rootx is transformed to g(x) = 3sq rootx + 2 - 4 , which is the graph of g(x)?
katrin [286]

Let's analyze the changes made to the parent function one by one:

STEP 1: Horizontal translation.

If we transform

\sqrt{x}\mapsto \sqrt{x+2}

We're performing a change in the form of

f(x)\mapsto f(x+k)

This kind of changes result in a horizontal translation, k units to the left if k is positive, k units to the right if k is negative. In this case, k=2, so the original graph is shifted 2 units to the left.

STEP 3: Vertical stretch.

If we transform

\sqrt{x+2}\mapsto 3\sqrt{x+2}

We're performing a change in the form of

f(x)\mapsto kf(x)

This kind of changes result in a vertical stretch with scale factor k. If k is negative, the function is also reflected across the x axis. In this case, k=3, so the original graph is stretched vertically, with scale factor 3.

STEP 3: Vertical translation.

If we transform

3\sqrt{x+2}\mapsto 3\sqrt{x+2}-4

We're performing a change in the form of

f(x)\mapsto f(x)+k

This kind of changes result in a vertical translation, k units down if k is positive, k units up if k is negative. In this case, k= -4, so the graph is shifted 4 units down.

All, in all, the original graph is shifted 2 units to the right, then it's stretched vertically with scale 3, and then it's shifted 4 units down. The order is important!
