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

37. Two numbers are such that their
omeli [17]

Answer:

8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers are such that their difference, their sum, and their product are to

each other as 1:7:24. Their product must equal what number?

:

Two numbers a & b

Let x = the multiplier

:

a - b = 1x

a + b = 7x

a * b = 24x

:

Add the 1st two equations

a - b = x

a + b = 7x

2a = 8x

a = 4x

or

x = .25a

:

a * b = 24x

Replace 24x; a = 4x therefore:

a * b = 6a

b = 6

;

Using the 1st equation

a - b = 1x

Replace b with 6 and x with .25a

a - 6 = .25a

a - .25a = 6

.75a = 6

a =

a = 8

:

Find the multiplier

a - b = x

8 - 6 = 2

:

Check this

a - b = 2 (1*2)

a + b = 14; (7*2)

a * b = 48: (24*2)

:

The numbers are 8 and 6; their products = 48

A ball is dropped from a height of 64 feet. Its height, in feet, can be modeled by the function h(t) = -167 + 64, where t is the
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Known facts:

  • the ball dropped from a height of 64 feet
  • function h(t) = -16t^{2}  + 64

First question:

  • the ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, thus we get the equation

                      -16t^{2} +64 = 0\\16t^{2} = 64\\t^{2} =4\\t = 2

     So the ball hits the ground in 2s

Second question

  • to find how long it takes the ball to fall 36 feet, we must set h(t) = 64 - 36 = 28

                      -16t^{2} +64 = 28\\16t^{2} = 36\\t = \frac{6}{4} =1.5s

      So the ball hits the ground in 1.5s

Hope that helps!
