Answer:

The largest rectangular area is 225 feet by 225 feet giving an area of 50625 square feet

Explanation:

As the total fencing available is 900 feet, the area he available fencing can enclose will measure 'x' by '450-x' feet.

L=x

W=450-x

The area of a rectangle is determined by multiplying the length of perpendicular sides:

A = L*W

A = x*(450-x)

A = 450x-x^{2}

The derivative of an equation can be used to determine the slope at any given point of that equation. The slope will be zero at the maximum or minimum point of the equation. Thus, differentiating the equation for area and equating it to zero will give the value of 'x' where the area is maximum.

A simple variable can be differentiated using below concept:

f(a)=a^{b}

f'(a)=ba^{b-1}

Using the above concepts to differentiate equation for 'A' and equating to zero to calculate 'x' will give:

A = 450x-x^{2}

A' = 450x^{1-1}-2x^{2-1}

A' = 450-2x=0

450-2x=0

x=225

L=x=225 feet

W=450-x=450-225=225 feet

P = 2x+2(450-x)=900
A = x(450 - x)
A = x(450 - x)
-x² + 450x = A
-x² +450x = A
A is going to be maximum, when x is a vertex.
-(x² - 450x) = A
-(x² - 2*225x+225²) - 225² =A
-(x-225)² -225² = A
Vertex when x=225

Largest are 225(450-225) = 225² = 50625 ft²

The square has a largest area.

A survey participant is randomly selected. Let f be the event that the participant’s first motor vehicle had four cylinders and
andreev551 [17]

The value of P(fc and u) is 0.09

From the complete question, we have the following highlights:

  • A total of 200 participants were surveyed.
  • 18 of the survey participant's first motor vehicle had four cylinders and the participant’s first motor vehicle was an SUV.

These mean that;

n(fc\ and\ u) = 18

n =200

So, the value of P(fc and u) is calculated using:

P(fc\ and\ u) =\frac{n(fc\ and\ u)}{n}

This gives

P(fc\ and\ u) =\frac{18}{200}

Divide 118 by 200

P(fc\ and\ u) =0.09

Hence, the value of P(fc and u) is 0.09

evablogger [386]

Since the electrical cord on an IV infusion pump is cracked, an action by the nurse which is best is to:  4) clearly label the pump and send it for repair.

<h3>Who is a nurse?</h3>

A nurse refers to a professional who has been trained in a medical institution and licensed to perform the following tasks and activities in a hospital:

  • Promoting hygienic behaviors among patients.
  • Providing care for sick people.
  • Providing care for an injured patient.
  • Perform routine checks on some medical instruments.

In this scenario, we can infer and logically conclude that an action by the nurse which is best is clearly labeling the cracked IV infusion pump and sending it for repair.
