  <span>13.5 = lw 

13.5/l = w 

3l + 2w = C 

C = 3l + 2*(13.5/l) 

C = 3l + (27/l) 

dC(l)/dl = 0 

3 - (27/l^2) = 0 

3*(l^2) - 27 = 0 

(l^2) - 9 = 0 

(l - 3)*(l + 3) = 0 

l = 3 

13.5 = 3w 

l = 3000; w = 4500

Therefore, to minimize the cost of the fence, length should be 3000 ft while width should be 4500 ft.</span>

4d^-3 multiplyed by d^18
Verdich [7]
4*d^(-3)*d^18 = 4*d^(18-3) = 4*d^(15).  The trick here is to combine the exponents.

Another way to write this problem would be:

4*d^18
---------- .  Here d^18 divided by d^3 results in d^15, so again the final 
  d^3         answer is 4*d^15.

A 4​-ft vertical post casts a 12​-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 118​-ft shadow. How tall is the c
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

height of vertical post = 6ft

its shadow = 20 in

For all shadows cast at the same time, the ratio of the height of a shadow-casting structure to the length of its shadow is the same. (Assuming, of course, that it's the sun casting the shadows.)

So the ratio is  

4 feet / 12 inches = 4 feet / 1 foot = 4/1 = 4,

and if h is the height of the cell tower,

h/122 feet = 4

h = 4 x 122 feet = 488 feet. <---------------- Final answer

Hope I helped,
