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

The interior angle sum of a convex polygon is 1,980°.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: 27.69⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for finding the internal angle of a regular polygon is

( 2n - 4 )right angle triangle or

( 2n - 4 )90°, it can also be broken down by factorizing the expression since 2 is common,

( n - 2 )180 or supplementary

Now to find the value of n which correspond to the number of sides the polygon has, we equate the formula to the angle sum of the polygon.

( n - 2 ) × 180° = 1980°

open the bracket

180n° - 360° = 1980°

180n°            = 1980° + 360°

                    = 2340

To find n, divide by 180 which is the coefficient of n

               n   = ²³⁴⁰/₁₈₀

                    = 13

The polygon has 13, sides

To find the measure of each angle,

Recall, the sum total of external angle  = 360⁰

Therefore, to find the value of each of the angles, we divide 360 by n which is 13

                 ³⁶⁰/n

                = ³⁶⁰/₁₃

                = 27.69⁰

How is the quotient 5 to the 8th power expressed as a power of 5
Sauron [17]

Answer:

5^4

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing exponents with the same base, you subtract their exponents.

8-4=4

This means that 5^8 / 5^4 is equal to:

Y = 5x + 4
Luda [366]

Answer:

Correct (1,9), (2,14)

Incorrect (1,8),(2,13)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is simple.

To find the correct values plug a x value.

For Example;

X=1

y=5(1)+4

y=5+4

y=9

so your X value is 1 and your Y value is 9

To solve for the incorrect values

Find the correct values and subtract 1 form the Y value.

At some department store, all suits are reduced 30% from the retail price. If a man purchased a suit that originally rera ec for
Arisa [49]

Answer:

$78.72

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 30% of the original value, we need to turn this percentage into a decimal or a fraction and then multiply it by the original value

  • 30% is equivalent to 0.30, \frac{30}{100}, and \frac{3}{10}
  • So we can use either of these values. I will use 0.30 for simplicity

  • ($262.40)(0.30) = $78.72 is the amount saved
