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

A) Write the following in standard form and find A, B and C
alex41 [277]

Answer:

  • a)  2x -y = -5; A=2, B=-1, C=-5
  • b)  y = 2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Standard Form is ...

  Ax + By = C

where A > 0 and A, B, C are mutually prime.

To get that form, we can add 2x-5 to both sides of the equation:

  (2x -5) -2x = (2x -5) -y +5

  -5 = 2x -y

Then we can swap sides of the equal sign:

  2x -y = -5 . . . . . . standard form

Matching this to the generic standard form equation, we find ...

  A = 2

  B = -1

  C = -5

__

b) We can solve for y by adding 2x+y to both sides of the equation:

  (2x +y) -2x = (2x +y) -y +5

  y = 2x +5 . . . . . . slope-intercept form
