Answer:

Length of enclosure =18.89 foot

Width of enclosure=11.12 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area 210 square feet.

Fence along three sides is to be made of material that costs 5 dollars per foot

and the material for the fourth side costs 12 dollars per foot.

We have to find the dimension of the enclosure that is most economical

Let x be the length and y be the width  of enclosure

We know that area of rectangle=x\timesy

xy=210

y=\frac{210}{x}

Cost of four sides =2(5x)+5(y)+12(y)

Total cost=10x+17y

C=10x+17\cdot\frac{210}{x}

C=10x+\frac{3570}{x}

Differentiate w.r.t x

\frac{dC}{dt}=10-\frac{3570}{x^2}

Substitute\frac{dC}{dx}=0

10-\frac{3570}{x^2}=0

\frac{3570}{x^2}=10

x^2=357

x=\sqrt{357}

x=18.89

Differentiate w.r.t x

\frac{d^2C}{dx^2}=\frac{7140}{x^3}

Substitute x=18.89

Then we get

\frac{d^2C}{dx^2}=\frac{7140}{(18.89)^3} >0

Hence, the cost is minimum.

Length of enclosure =18.89 foot

Width of enclosure=\frac{210}{18.89}=11.12 foot

Hence, the dimension of the enclosure that is most economical to construct

Length=18.89 foot and width=11.12 foot

Answer with explanation:

Let the length of rectangular fence = x meters

Let the width of the rectangular fence = y meters

Thus

Area=x\times y=210ft^{2}...........(i)

Now Let the total cost to construct the fence be 'C' can be obtained if we construct the shorter side with material with cost $12 per foot

\therefore C=5\times (2y+x)+12\times x\\\\C=10y+17x...............(ii)

Using value of x from the equation i into equation ii we get

C=10y+17\times \frac{210}{y}

hence to minimize the cost we differentiate both sides with respect to 'y' and equate the result to zero thus we get

C=10y+17\times \frac{210}{y}\\\\\frac{dC}{dy}=\frac{d}{dy}(10y+\frac{3570}{y})\\\\0=10-\frac{3570}{y^{2}}\\\\\therefore y=\sqrt{\frac{3570}{10}}=18.894feet

Thus x=\frac{210}{18.894}=11.11feet

Thus value of length = 11.114 feet and value of width = 18.894 feet.

Which measure of central tendency best describes this situation: the numbers of apples in 2-lb bags?
katrin [286]

Which measure of central tendency best describes this situation:

The number of apples in 2-lb bags?

Solution: The best measure of central tendency to describe the numbers of apples in 2-lb bags is mean. Because the variable under consideration is numeric and probably we would not see outliers in 2-lb bags.

Mean is the defined as the sum of observations divided by the number of observation. The mean takes into account all the observation of the data. Mean is most preferable when the data is numeric and there are no outliers in the data.

Therefore, in the given situation, where we have number of apples in 2-lb bags, the mean will be best to use.

Is (1, 3) a solution to the system of inequalities below?
Oxana [17]
<h3>Substitute and Check:</h3>

y > 2x + 1 \\ 3 > 2(1) + 1 \\ 3 > 3 \\ false

<h3>We can stop here and conclude that ( 1 , 3 ) is not a solution to this system, since it does not even satisfy the first equation, but check for the other one just in case:</h3>

y <  - 3x \\ 3 <  - 3(1) \\3 <  - 3 \\ also \: false
