Answer:

  • 50 ft by 75 ft
  • 3750 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...

  y = (300 -2x)/3

And the enclosed area is ...

  A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)

This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.

The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...

  50 ft by 75 ft

That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).

Can someone please help me please I really need help please answer it correctly

Answer:

<h3>Princeton Florist</h3>

Let the total charge is y, the number of small arrangements is x.

<u>Total charge will be:</u>

  • y = 13x + 47
<h3>Chad's Flowers</h3>

<u>Total charge will be:</u>

  • y = 17x + 35

<u>Since the total charge is same in both shops, we have:</u>

  • 13x + 47 = 17x + 35

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 17x - 13x = 47 - 35
  • 4x = 12
  • x = 3

<u>Total cost is:</u>

  • 13*3 + 47 = 39 + 47 = 86

<u>Small arrangements</u> = 3, <u>cost </u>= $86

Can u help me pls they are exponents with multiplication and division
Ronch [10]
When there is a multiplication involving exponents, we need to evaluate the numbers and each variables separately. In this case, we have 5 and 4 as the numbers, and w and h for the variables.

When we multiply 5 and 4 we get:
5 \times 4 = 20

For w, we have {w}^{6}, {w}^{4}, w. While we are multiplying the w's, we need to add the exponents together to get the final answer: {w}^{6} \times {w}^{4} \times w = {w}^{11}

For h's, there are {h}^{2}, {h}^{5}, {h}^{4}. When we apply the same thing to h's, we get {h}^{2} \times {h}^{5} \times {h}^{4} = {h}^{11}

For the final step, we need to write all of these together: 20 \times {w}^{11} \times {h}^{11} \: \: or \: \: 20 {w}^{11} {h}^{11} \: \: or \: \: 20 {(wh)}^{11}

A cake has circumference of 25 1/7 inches. What is the area of the cake? Use 22/7 to approximate π. Round to the nearest hundred
choli [55]

Answer:

50.29 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the circumference we need to find the radius.

Since C = 2*pi*r, r = C / (2*pi).

Here, with C = 25  1/7 in, r = (25  1/7 in) / [ 2(22/7) ], or r = 4 in

The area of the cake is A = pi*r^2, or (here)  A = (22/7)(4 in)^2 = 50.29 in^2

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO RIGHT ANSWER
Zina [86]

Answer:

<h2>         y = -¹/₂ x + 4 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation is y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where (x₀, y₀) is any point the line passes through and m is the slope:

m = -¹/₂

(2, 3)    ⇒   x₀ = 2,  y₀ = 3

The point-slope form of the equation:

y - 3 = -¹/₂ (x - 2)

So:

y - 3 = -¹/₂ x + 1         {add 3 to both sides}

y = -¹/₂ x + 4            ←  the slope-intercept form of the equation
