Answer:

Dimensions :

x (the longer side, only one side with fence )   =  90  ft

y ( the shorter side two sides with fence )        =  45  ft

Total fence used   45 * 2  +  90    =  180 ft

A(max)  =  

Step-by-step explanation: If a farmer has 180 ft of fencing to encloses a rectangular area with fence in three sides and the river on one side, the farmer surely wants to have a maximum enclosed area.

Lets call "x" one the longer side  ( only one of the longer side of the rectangle will have fence, the other will be along the river and won´t need fence. "y" will be the shorter side

Then we have:

P = perimeter  =  180  =  2y  +  x        ⇒   y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2        (1)

And   A (r)   =  x * y

A(x)   =  x  *  ( 180 - x ) /2       ⇒   A(x)   = (180/2) *x   -  x² / 2

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation :

A´(x)   =  90   -  x    

Then if    A´(x)   =  0   ⇒        90   -  x    =  0     ⇒   x  =  90 ft

and from :       y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2     ⇒     y  =  90/2

y  =  45  ft

And

A(max)  =  90 * 45    =  4050  ft²

The USS Enterprise was 1,123 feet in length.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

The scale for a model that is  2 feet long is 561.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The USS Enterprise was 1,123 feet in length.

Part (A) What is the scale for a model that is 30 inches long?

1 feet = 12 inches.

First  convert the length of USS enterprise in inches.

1×1,123 feet = 12×1,123 inches

1,123 feet = 13476 inches

Divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:

\frac{13476}{30}=449.2\ inches

Hence, the scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

Part (B)  What is the scale for a model that is 2 feet long?

Since, both the units are in feet, so simply divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:

\frac{1123}{2}=561.5\ feet

Hence, the scale for a model that is  2 feet long is 561.5 feet.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -8) and has slope -2?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of -2 means the slope is -2/1

from (3, - 8) you can find the y intercept by going backwords until x = 0

(2,-6)

(1,-4)

(0,-2)

so the y intercept is -2

y = -2x - 2

HELPPPP PLEASEEEEE ​
Alecsey [184]
I’m not rly sure what it means by flipping the card …. I’m assuming there’s more to this question but if it’s what I think it is the only way this equation will be true is by switching the + Symbol to - (subtraction) which would be 1-2= 3-4 since it would 1=1 making the equation true
