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}

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of of winning next shot if he scores= 0.5

Probability of missing next shot if he misses = 1/6

a) Probability of scoring 2 shots later if he missed = (1-1/6)^2

=(5/6)^2

=25/36

b) % of successful shots= (1/2+5/6×(1/100))%

=4/3×1/100

=0.013%

Find the slope of the line through the given points.<br> (-2,6) and (2,-2)
Elenna [48]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( -2-6)/(2- -2)

   = ( -2-6)/( 2+2)

   -8/4

   -2
