We are going to fence in a rectangular field. If we look at the field from above the cost of the vertical sides are $10/f t, the

cost of the bottom is $2/f t and the cost of the top is $7/f t. If we have 700 determine the dimensions of the field that will maximize the enclosed area.

Answer:

Dimensions are 350/9 ft and 17.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the cost per ft of all the 4 sides. Let the horizontal be x and the vertical be y.

Now, we will set up the constraint and equation that we are being asked to maximize.

Thus;

700 = 10y + 10y + 7x + 2x

700 = 20y + 9x

Maiking y the subject, we have;

y = (700 - 9x)/20

y = 35 - 9x/20

Now,area of a rectangle is: A = xy

Thus, A = x(35 - 9x/20))

A = 35x - 9x²/20

We can get the critical points by finding the derivatives and Equating to zero

Thus;

dA/dx = 35 - 0.9x

At dA/dx = 0,we have; x = 350/9

At d²A/dx², we have;

d²A/dx² = -0.9

This is negative, thus we will disregard and use the one gotten from the first derivative.

Thus, we will use x = 350/9 ft

Plugging this into the equation y = 35 - 9x/20, we have;

y = 35 - ((9 × 350/9)/20)

y = 17.5 ft

Two friends board an airliner just before departure time. There are only 11 seats left, 4 of which are aisle seats. How many way
Vadim26 [7]

Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, it is found that:

The 2 people can arrange themselves in 40 ways.

<h3>What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?</h3>

It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:

N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n

With one people in the aisle and one in the normal seats, the parameters are:

n1 = 4, n2 = 7

With both in the aisle, the parameters is:

n1 = 4, n2 = 3

Hence the number of ways is:

N = 4 x 7 + 4 x 3 = 28 + 12 = 40.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

<h3>              1)   7x - 5 </h3><h3>              2)   9y - 18 </h3><h3>              3)   0.5n + 4n </h3><h3>              4)  2(w³+23)</h3><h3> Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

1)

The product of seven and a number x:   7·x = 7x

<u>Five less than the product of seven and a number x:</u>

<h3>7x - 5 </h3>

2)

nine times a number y:  9·y = 9y

<u>The difference of nine times a number y and eighteen:</u>

<h3>9y - 18 </h3>

3)

half a number n:   0.5n

four times the number:   4·n = 4n

<u>Half a number n increased by four times the number:</u>

<h3>0.5n + 4n </h3>

4)

a number w cubed:  w³

the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three:  w³+23

<u>Twice the sum of a number w cubed and twenty-three:</u>
