Answer:
The equation is not complete there should be an equals (=) sign on the right hand side of the equation
Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985
<u>Answer</u>:
18 clips for $7.38 is the best value deal.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
An office is restocking office supplies. The table below shows the cost for the number of boxes of paperclips. We need to find what is the best value is.
To find the best value for money we can check the price of each paperclip.
To check the price of each paper clip we can use the following formula:
Now we can calculate the best value deal as follows:
So, from looking at the prices of each paperclip we can conclude that the 18 clips for $7.38 is the best value deal.
8+.9+.07 eight and ninety seven hundredths
