A company plans to enclose three parallel rectangular areas for sorting returned goods. The three areas are within one large rec

tangular area and 1088 yd of fencing is available. What is the largest total area that can be​ enclosed?

Answer:

The largest total area that can be enclosed will be a square of length 272 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we get the perimeter of the large rectangular enclosure.

Perimeter of a rectangle =2(l + w)

Perimeter of the large rectangular enclosure= 1088 yard

Therefore:

2(L+W)=1088

The region inside the fence is the area

Area: A = LW

We need to solve the perimeter formula for either the length or width.

2L+ 2W= 1088 yd

2W= 1088– 2L

W = \frac{1088-2L}{2}

W = 544–L

Now substitute W = 544–L into the area formula

A = LW

A = L(544 – L)

A = 544L–L²

Since A is a quadratic expression, we re-write the expression with the exponents in descending order.

A = –L²+544L

Next, we look for the value of the x coordinate

L= -\frac{b}{2a}

L= -\frac{544}{2X-1}

L=272 yards

Plugging L=272 yards into the calculation for area:

A = –L²+544L

A(272)=-272²+544(272)

=73984 square yards

Thus the largest area that could be encompassed would be a square where each side has a length of 272 yards and a width of:

W = 544 – L

= 544 – 272

= 272 yards

Explain why a geometric series with a ratio between zero and one converges and how you find the sum.
Alex Ar [27]
Let S_n be the nth partial sum of a geometric sequence with common ratio r and first term a. So the sequence is \{a,ar,ar^2,\cdots\}, and S_n is

S_n=a+ar+ar^2+\cdots+ar^{n-2}+ar^{n-1}

Multiplying both sides by r gives

rS_n=ar+ar^2+ar^3+\cdots+ar^{n-1}+ar^n

and subtracting rS_n from S_n gives

S_n-rS_n=a+(ar-ar)+(ar^2-ar^2)+\cdots+(ar^{n-1}-ar^{n-1})-ar^n
(1-r)S_n=a(1-r^n)
S_n=a\dfrac{1-r^n}{1-r}

If 0, then r^n\to0 as n\to\infty and so the sum approaches

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n=\dfrac a{1-r}

Horses age more rapidly than humans.Suppose that the "horse age" and"human age"
Sav [38]

Let x represent the horse age

Let y represent the human age

Since the horse age and human age vary directly, we have the relation

x\text{ }\alpha\text{ y}

Introducing an equality sign, we

x\text{ =Ky}

Where K is a proportionality constant, evaluated as

K\text{ = }\frac{x}{y}----\text{ equation 1}

Since a 5-year-old horse is equivalent to 15-year old human,

x = 5

y = 15

we have

\begin{gathered} K\text{ = }\frac{5}{15} \\ \Rightarrow K=3 \end{gathered}

Thus,

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{x}{y} \\ 3\text{ = }\frac{x}{y} \\ \Rightarrow x\text{ = 3y ----- equation 2} \end{gathered}

Thus, for a horse who has lived 16 years

x = 16

Find radius of a hemisphere given volume of 144 cm³
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The radius is 4.097396898

Step-by-step explanation:

A hemisphere is 1/2 of a sphere so the volume is 1/2 of the volume

V = 1/2 ( 4/3 pi r^3)

   = 2/3 pi r^3

144 = 2/3 pi r^3

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2 *144 = 3/2 * 2/3 pi r^3

216 = pi r^3

Divide each side by pi

216/ pi =   pi r^3/pi

68.78980892 = r^3

Take the cube root of each side

(68.78980892 )^1/3= (r^3)^1/3

4.097396898 = r

The radius is 4.097396898

A researcher measures the time (in seconds) that it takes children to complete a basic reading skills task. What type of graphic
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The most appropriate graphical display for this case is the histogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the most used graphical display is <em>the histogram</em>, a term used for the first time by Karl Pearson in 1895.

Suppose the researcher measures different times for a sample of children to "<em>complete a basic reading skills task</em>". The researcher can register any of these different times for each child in the sample and then create different intervals of the same size (in seconds) for all the cases in the sample. Any of these intervals represent a <em>class</em>. For example, we can have a class for 0 to 20 seconds, other for 20 to 40 seconds, and so on.

Well, into any appropriate class, <em>we summarize the number of cases</em> that fall into it, which represents the frequency of them for this class. We can then represent in the x-axis the different intervals of time (classes) and the y-axis the frequency for each class (rectangles of different heights according to the frequency).

In doing so, we can "extract" valuable information from this graph such as (but not limited to):

  1. Type of distribution that probably follows the data (for instance, normal).
  2. The interval (or class) with the highest/lowest frequency (maybe the most probable/less probable for this sample).
  3. The presence of an outlier (roughly, a very extreme value).
  4. We can divide each frequency by the total of the values to obtain the <em>relative frequency</em>. In doing so, we can determine, for example, below which value are 60% of the cases, 10% of the cases, and so on.
  5. The symmetry of the graph (perfectly symmetrical or skewed).

Thus, for these and other advantages, <em>the histogram</em> is "the most appropriate graphical display for summarizing the frequency of children falling into different intervals of time".

We can show an example of a histogram with hypothetical data regarding this case (see the graph) below). For instance, the most frequent interval is the first (10 - 20) seconds with nine (9) cases, there is probably an outlier between (110 - 120) seconds and the data is not symmetrical (skewed right).
