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

Answer:

  x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to the product of lengths from the external common point to the two circle intersections of the secant.

  x^2 = (2)(70+2)

  x^2 = 144

  x = √144

  x = 12

What is 35% of 98? I need Help with this problem?
elena55 [62]
35% of 98 is 34.3

Change the percentage (35) into a decimal by dividing over 100:

35 / 100 = 0.3

Multiply the decimal and 98:

0.35 × 98 = 34.3

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Covert equations in standard form into slope-intercept form of y = mx + b</u>

<h3>#1</h3>
  • x - y = 3 ⇒ y = x - 3
<h3>#2</h3>
  • 5x + 3y = 6 ⇒ 3y = -5x + 6 ⇒ y = -5/3x + 2
<h3>#3</h3>
  • x - 2y = 2 ⇒ 2y = x - 2 ⇒ y = 1/2x - 1
<h3>#4</h3>
  • 3x + 2y = -8 ⇒ 2y = -3x - 8 ⇒ y = -3/2x - 4
