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.

4.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope- intercept </u><u>form</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The given equation is in the slope-intercept form and hence we can easily identify its slope by looking at the coefficient of x.

y= 2x +7

slope= 2

Parallel lines have the same slope, thus the slope of the parallel line is also 2.

Substitute m= 2 into the general equation:

y= 2x +c

Substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation to find the value of c:

When x= 3, y= 11,

11= 2(3) +c

11= 6 +c

c= 11 -6

c= 5

Therefore the equation of the line is y= 2x +5.
