Answer:

x=10 feet and y=20  feet

The least amount of fencing required = 40 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take x be the length of the garden and y be width of the garden.

The area of the rectangular garden will be, A=x y=200  ...{1}

Perimeter of the garden, P=2 x+y.      

[ because one side of the garden is protected by a barn ]

Thus,

P=2 x+y

or

P=2 x+\frac{200}{x}          [using 1]

\frac{d P}{d x}=2-\frac{200}{x^{2}}

For points of maxima or minima

\frac{d P}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow 2-\frac{200}{x^{2}}=0 \Rightarrow x^{2}=100 \Rightarrow x=\pm 10

Since length cannot be negative, x=-10 is rejected.

Thus,

\frac{d^{2} P}{d x^{2}}=-(-2) \frac{200}{x^{3}}=\frac{400}{x^{3}}

\left(\frac{d^{2} P}{d x^{2}}\right)_{x=10}=\frac{400}{10^{3}}>0

Hence at x=10,, The perimeter (P) will be min.

On substituting x=10 in x y=200, then y=20

Hence, the dimensions of the garden are:

x=10 feet and y=20  feet

The perimeter, P=20+20=40 feet i.e the least amount of fencing required.

What is the conjecture of 1, 8, 27, 64, __, __, __, __, __, what is the pattern?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The pattern = 1³, 2³ 3³, 4³, 5³, 6³, 7³, 8³, 9³,

The answer = 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729,

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the pattern?

We are given the following sequence:

1, 8, 27, 64, __, __, __, __, __,

Observing the sequence above, for every consecutive natural number

x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3.......

The above pattern is : the cube of every consecutive natural number. That is: x³, (x + 1)³, (x + 2)³, (x + 3)⁴

1, 8, 27, 64, __, __, __, __, __,

= 1³, 2³ 3³, 4³, 5³, 6³, 7³, 8³, 9³,

Hence, the answer

1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729,

A loan company will provide a loan to Bill and Hillary for 75% of the appraised value of their home. The interest rate is 10.5%.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The discount points will cost 3749.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first monthly interest payment is $820.

So, annual interest paid = 820\times12 = $9,840

Now, converting the annual interest to decimal = \frac{9840}{0.105} = $93,714.28

As given, the bank requires 4 discount points, this becomes 0.04.

So, total loan amount = 93714.28\times0.04 = $3748.57 ≈ $3749

Hence, the discount points will cost 3749.
