If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now    \bf \begin{cases}
A=l\cdot w\\\\\
A=3000000\\
----------\\
3000000=l\cdot w\\\\
\frac{3000000}{w}=l
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\
P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}
\\\\\\
P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\\\\\\
\textit{so the critical points are at }
\begin{cases}
0=w^2\\\\
0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\end{cases}

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the 0=w^2\implies 0=w   so.  you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other

Why is b ≠ 1 a condition for f(x) = abx (x is a exponent i cant put it for some reason)?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

1^x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If b = 1,

It will be a horizontal line:

y = a

Not an exponential curve

Because

y = a(1^x)

1 power anything is 1

y = a × 1

y = a

Find the value of x in the below complementary angle 3x(5x+2)​
Natali [406]

Answer:

The value of x is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°</em>

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ The angle of measure (3x)° and the angle of measure (5x + 2)°

   are complementary angles

→ That means their sum equals 90°

∴ 3x + 5x + 2 = 90

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (3x + 5x) + 2 = 90

∴ 8x + 2 = 90

→ Subtract 2 from both sides to move 2 from the left side to the right side

∵ 8x + 2 - 2 = 90 - 2

∴ 8x = 88

→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x

∵ 8x/8 = 88/8

∴ x = 11

∴ The value of x is 11

Find the measure of the missing angles.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

B= 133°  C= 47°

Step-by-step explanation:

As shows on the right it's 133°

A= 133°

c+a =180° -a

= 180° -133°

=47°

a and c complement each other and

b= a = 133°

a and b are vertical angles
