Answer:

The area function is

A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2.

The domain and range of A is (0,15m) and (0, 253.125 m^2].

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of fencing is 90 m.

Let the length and width of each pen be x and y respectively as shown in the figure.

As there are 3 pens, so, the total area,

A= 3 xy \;\cdots (i)

From the figure the total length of fencing is 6x+4y.

Here, for a significant area for the animals, x>0 as well as y>0 as x and y are the sides of ben.

From the given value:

6x+4y=90\;\cdots (ii)

\Rightarrow  y=\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}

Now, from equation (i)

A=3x\left(\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}\right)

\Rightarrow A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2\;\cdots (iii)

This is the required area function in the terms of variable x.

For the domain of area function, from equation (ii)

x=15-\frac{2y}{3}

\Rightarrow x [as y>0]

So, the domain of area function is (0,15m).

For the range of area function:

As x \rightarrow 0 or y\rightarrow 0, then A\rightarrow 0 [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow A>0

Now, differentiate the area function with respect to x .

\frac {dA}{dx}=\frac{135}{2}-9x

Equate \frac {dA}{dx}  to zero to get the extremum point.

\frac {dA}{dx}=0

\Rightarrow \frac{135}{2}-9x=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}

Check this point by double differentiation

\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}=-9

As,  \frac {d^2A}{dx^2}, so, point x=\frac{15}{2} is corresponding to maxima.

Put this value back to equation (iii) to get the maximum value of area function. We have

A=\frac{135}{2}\times \frac {15}{2}-\frac{9}{2}\times \left(\frac {15}{2}\right)^2

\Rightarrow A=253.125 m^2

Hence, the range of area function is (0, 253.125 m^2].

How do I solve this?
Olin [163]
Well if it is 1 inch per 100 feet, then we already know that 600 feet is 6 inches on the map. Now the 4 is where it gets trickier. Since it's dividing it by 100 each time, you take 4 and divide it by 100 which is 0.04. Therefore, your answer is 6.04 inches on the map.

What is the simplest form of the product cube root4x^2*cube root8x^7
Illusion [34]

Answer:

f(x) =  2^{\frac{5}{3} }x^{3} is the simplest expression

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression and we are supposed to find the simplest form of the given expression.

The given expression is

f(x) = \sqrt[3]{4x^{2} } \times \sqrt[3]{8x^{7} }

Since the cube root is common we can multiply the quotient inside the radical sign.

f(x) = \sqrt[3]{32x^{(2+7)} }

     = \sqrt[3]{32x^{9} }

     = 2^{\frac{5}{3} }\times x^{\frac{9}{3} }

     = 2^{\frac{5}{3} }x^{3}

f(x) =  2^{\frac{5}{3} }x^{3} is the simplest expression
