Answer:

Dimensions of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft by 750 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular plot = x ft.

and the width of the plot = y ft.

Cost to fence the length at the cost $3.00 per feet = 3x

Cost to fence the width of the cost $2.00 per feet = 2y

Total cost to fence all sides of rectangular plot = 2(3x + 2y)

2(3x + 2y) = 6,000

3x + 2y = 3,000 ----------(1)

3x + 2y = 3000

      2y = 3000 - 3x

      y = \frac{1}{2}[3000-3x]

      y = 1500 - \frac{3x}{2}

Now area of the rectangle A = xy square feet

A = x[1500-\frac{3x}{2}]

For maximum area \frac{dA}{dx}=0

A' = \frac{d}{dx}(1500x-\frac{3}{2}x^{2}) = 0

1500 - 3x = 0

3x = 1500

x = 500 ft

From equation (1),

y = 1500 - \frac{3}{2}\times 500

y = 1500 - 750

y = 750 ft

Therefore, for the maximum area of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft × 750 ft.

two fencing 3(500+500) = $3000

other two fencing 2(750+750) = $3000

Jakes has $20 to spend on notebooks and pencils the notebooks and pencils. the notebooks cost 3.25 and the pencils cost $.50 wha
Leokris [45]
Hey there. So basically, find out how much the pencils and notebooks cost first.
The notebooks cost = $3.25
The pencils cost = $0.50

Then, think about what you need to figure out in this problem.
Jake has $20. You need to find how many notebooks Jake can buy in maximum after buying 8 pencils.

If Jake buys 8 pencils that costs $0.50 each, he spends $4 on the pencils.

So now, to find out how many notebooks he can buy, do 20 minus 4.
Jake's got $16 left.

If the notebooks cost $3.25 each, we need to find out how many notebooks he can buy by dividing them. So, 16 divided by 3.25 equals 4.923... and so on.

That means, Jake can buy 4 notebooks with his remaining money.

Find f(-11/5) if f(n) = 5n + 6
V125BC [204]

Answer:

f(-11/5) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) = 5n + 6

Let x = -11/5

f(-11/5) = 5*-11/5 +6

          = -11 +6

           = -5

Ernesto solves the equation below by first squaring both sides of the equation. \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2 2 1 ​ w+8 ​ =−2square
algol [13]

Answer:

<h2>w = -8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Ernesto expressed as \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2, the extraneous solution obtained by Ernesto is shown below;

\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8}=-2\\\\square\ both \ sides \ of \ the \ equation\\(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}w+8})^2=(-2)^2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 = 4\\\\Subtract \ 8 \ from \ both \ sides\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w+8 - 8= 4- 8\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w= -4\\\\multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 2\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}w*2= -4*2\\\\w = -8

Hence, the extraneous solution that Ernesto obtained is w = -8
