Pool measuring 10 ft by 20 feet will have a cement walkway around it. The area covered by the pool and the cement walkway is 600

square feet. If the walkway must have a uniform width around the entire pool, what is the width of the walkway?

Answer:the width of the walkway is 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the walkway.

The pool measures 10 ft by 20. If the walkway must have a uniform width around the entire pool, then the total length of the pool and the walkway would be 10 + x + x = 10 + 2x

The total width of the pool and the walkway would be 20 + x + x = 10 + 2x

The area covered by the pool and the cement walkway is 600 square feet. This means that

(10 + 2x)(20 + 2x) = 600

200 + 20x + 40x + 4x^2 = 600

4x^2 + 60x + 200 - 600 = 0

4x^2 + 60x - 400 = 0

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0

x^2 + 20x - 5x - 100 = 0

x(x + 20) - 5(x + 20) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 20) = 0

x = 5 or x = - 20

The width cannot be negative. Therefore, the width of the walkway is 5 feet

Answer:

i think 88

Step-by-step explanation:

(it's been a while since I've done this so I'm not too sure it's correct)

The formula we need to use is

2πr(angle/360)

we need the radius (r)

To get r we need angle AES

180-80= 100

using the equation from before

88=2πr*(100/360)

raidus: 50.42

Then to get the length CD we need angle DEC

180-80=100

2π*50.42*(100/360)=88

there probably was some kind of shortcut we could've used to figure this out faster but whatever

The function f (x comma y )equals 3 xy has an absolute maximum value and absolute minimum value subject to the constraint 3 x sq
zmey [24]

Answer:

The maximum value of f is 363, which is reached in (11,11) and (-11,-11) and the minimum value of f is -33, which is reached in (√11,-√11) and (-√11,√11)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y) = 3xy, lets find the gradient of f. First lets compute the derivate of f in terms of x, thinking of y like a constant.

f_x(x,y) = 3y

In a similar way

f_y(x,y) = 3x

Thus,

\nabla{f} = (3y,3x)

The restriction is given by g(x,y) = 121, with g(x,y) = 3x²+3y²-5xy. The partial derivates of g are

[ŧex] g_x(x,y) = 6x-5y [/tex]

g_y(x,y) = 6y - 5x

Thus,

\nabla g(x,y) = (6x-5y,6y-5x)

For the Langrange multipliers theorem, we have that for an extreme (x0,y0) with the restriction g(x,y) = 121, we have that for certain λ,

  • f_x(x_0,y_0) = \lambda \, g_x(x0,y0)
  • f_y(x_0,y_0) = \lambda \, g_y(x_0,y_0)
  • g(x_0,y_0) = 121

This can be translated into

  • 3y = \lambda (6x-5y)
  • 3x = \lambda (-5x+6y)
  • 3 (x_0)^2 + 3(y_0)^2 - 5\,x_0y_0 = 121

If we sum the first two expressions, we obtain

3x + 3y = \lambda (x+y)

Thus, x = -y or λ=3.

If x were -y, then we can replace x for -y in both equations

3y = -11 λ y

-3y = 11 λ y, and therefore

y = 0, or λ = -3/11.

Note that y cant take the value 0 because, since x = -y, we have that x = y = y, and g(x,y) = 0. Therefore, equation 3 wouldnt hold.

Now, lets suppose that λ=3, if that is the case, we can replace in the first 2 equations obtaining

  • 3y = 3(6x-5y) = 18x -15y

thus, 18y = 18x

y = x

and also,

  • 3x = 3(6y-5x) = 18y-15x

18x = 18y

x = y

Therefore, x = y or x = -y.

If x = -y:

Lets evaluate g in (-y,y) and try to find y

g(-y,y) = 3(-y)² + 3y*2 - 5(-y)y = 11y² = 121

Therefore,

y² = 121/11 = 11

y = √11 or y = -√11

The candidates to extremes are, as a result (√11,-√11), (-√11, √11). In both cases, f(x,y) = 3 √11 (-√11) = -33

If x = y:

g(y,y) = 3y²+3y²-5y² = y² = 121, then y = 11 or y = -11

In both cases f(11,11) = f(-11,-11) = 363.

We conclude that the maximum value of f is 363, which is reached in (11,11) and (-11,-11) and the minimum value of f is -33, which is reached in (√11,-√11) and (-√11,√11)

Answer to the question
stellarik [79]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

180 = 102 + 24x - 18

  1. 102 - 18 = 84
  2. subtract 84 from both sides
  3. 96 = 24x
  4. divide both sides by 4
  5. 4 = x
