Answer:

18.97 \text{ and }12.65\text{ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 240 square feet. The fence along three sides is to be made of material that costs 6 dollars per foot, and the material for the fourth side costs 12 dollars per foot.

TO FIND: Find the dimensions of the enclosure that is most economical to construct.

SOLUTION:

Area of rectangular fence =240\text{ sq. ft}

let the length of fence =x

let the width of fence =y

let x be the smaller side

Area of rectangular fence enclosure =xy

xy=240

y=\frac{240}{x}

cost of fence along three sides =6 \text{ dollars per feet}

cost of fence along fourth side =12 \text{ dollars per feet}

length of fence =2x+2y

cost of fence building =6(2x+y)+12y

                                     =12x+18y

putting value of y

                                     =12x+18\times\frac{240}{x}

                                     =12x+4320x^{-1}

to find minimum value differentiating the equation

                                   12-\frac{4320}{x^{2} }=0

                                   x^{2} =\frac{4320}{12}

                                   x^{2} =360

                                   x=18.97\text{ft}

                                   y=12.65\text{ft}

Hence the dimensions of the enclosure that is most economical to construct are 18.97\text{ft} and 12.65\text{ft}

Y=-4-x; domain = {-6, 2, 7}<br> Find range plz
UNO [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

domain is the valid interval for the x (input) values for the function.

the range is the valid interval for the y (result) values of the function.

so, we have a function definition and a valid domain interval for x. we therefore try the x values and see what result values they create. and that defines the range.

x = -6

y = 4 - -6 = 4 + 6 = +10

c

x = 2

y = 4 - 2 = +2

x = 7

y = 4 - 7 = -3

we have therefore a range of {-3, 2, 10}
