A landscape architect wished to enclose a rectangular garden on one side by a brick wall costing $20/ft and on the other three s

ides by a metal fence costing $10/ft. If the area of the garden is 122 square feet, find the dimensions of the garden that minimize the cost.

Answer:

The dimensions of the garden that minimize the cost is 9.018 feet(length) and 13.528 feet(width)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of garden be x

Let the breadth of garden be y

Area of Rectangular garden = Length \times Breadth = xy

We are given that the area of the garden is 122 square feet

So, xy=122 ---A

A landscape architect wished to enclose a rectangular garden on one side by a brick wall costing $20/ft

So, cost of brick along length x = 20 x

On the other three sides by a metal fence costing $10/ft.

So, Other three side s = x+2y

So, cost of brick along the other three sides= 10(x+2y)

So, Total cost = 20x+10(x+2y)=20x+10x+20y=30x+20y

Total cost = 30x+20y

Substitute the value of y from A

Total cost = 30x+20(\frac{122}{x})

Total cost = \frac{2440}{x}+30x

Now take the derivative to minimize the cost

f(x)=\frac{2440}{x}+30x

f'(x)=-\frac{2440}{x^2}+30

Equate it equal to 0

0=-\frac{2440}{x^2}+30

\frac{2440}{x^2}=30

\sqrt{\frac{2440}{30}}=x

9.018 =x

Now check whether it is minimum or not

take second derivative

f'(x)=-\frac{2440}{x^2}+30

f''(x)=-(-2)\frac{2440}{x^3}

Substitute the value of x

f''(x)=-(-2)\frac{2440}{(9.018)^3}

f''(x)=6.6540

Since it is positive ,So the x is minimum

Now find y

Substitute the value of x in A

(9.018)y=122

y=\frac{122}{9.018}

y=13.528

Hence the dimensions of the garden that minimize the cost is 9.018 feet(length) and 13.528 feet(width)

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x

The equation in slope-intercept form is: y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope:

The both equations given are parallel. So, they have same slope.

Slope of given equation y= - 2/3x is m = -2/3

This equation is in slope-intercept form, comparing with general equation  y=mx+b where m is slope , we get the value of m= -2/3

So, slope of required line is: m = -2/3

Finding y-intercept

Using slope m = -2/3 and point (-3,5) we can find y-intercept

y=mx+b\\5=-\frac{2}{3}(-3)+b\\5=2+b\\ b=5-2\\b=3

So, we get b = 3

Now, the equation of required line:

having slope m = -2/3 and y-intercept b =3

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }
