Answer:

22,562.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest possible area will be obtained when half the fencing is used for the long side of the 4 pens, so the dimension in that direction is (950 ft)/(2·2) = 237.5 ft.

The other half of the fencing will be used for the 2 ends and 3 partitions, each of which will be (950 ft)/(2·5) = 95 ft.

Then the overall area of the 4 pens is ...

... (237.5 ft)(95 ft) = 22,562.5 ft²

_____

<em>General Solution</em>

Suppose L is the length of fence available, and x is the length of the long side of the enclosed area. For n pens, the enclosed area will be ...

... A = x(L-2x)/(n+1)

For constant values of A, L, n, this describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=L/2. The vertex of the parabola (point of maximum area) will be halfway between these zeros, at x = (0 + L/2)/2 = L/4. That is, half the available fence is used in each of the orthogonal directions.

Note that adding partitions in the other direction replaces the 2 in the equation with (m+1), where m is the number of pens between the sides of length x. That is, if there are 4 pens in one direction by 3 pens in the other direction, the area will be

... A = x(L -(3+1)x)/(4+1)

and, once again, we find that half the fence is used in each of the orthogonal directions when we maximize the overall area.

How do you solve for the slope of a line with the equation ax^2 + bx + c?

<h2>The graph of y = ax^2 + bx + c </h2><h2>A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form </h2><h2>ax2+bx+c,where a≠0 </h2><h2>All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola.

Answer:

312km

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply. 4800 x 7% = 3744

2. Divide. 3744 / 12 = 312km sq.

So the area after 12 years is 312 km sq.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

z=\frac{3.1-3}{\frac{2.449}{\sqrt{47}}}=0.280    

p_v =P(z>0.280)=0.390  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its NOT significant higher than 0.3 at 1% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=3.1 represent the sample mean

\sigma=\sqrt{6} represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

n=47 sample size  

\mu_o =3 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 3, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 3  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 3  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{3.1-3}{\frac{2.449}{\sqrt{47}}}=0.280    

P-value

Since is a one side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>0.280)=0.390  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level assumed \alpha=0.01 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the height of men actually its NOT significant higher than 0.3 at 1% of signficance.
