A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. no fencing is needed along the bar

n, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. if the fencing costs $12 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $3000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area. (width, length) =

Hi,

Let assume a the west side,

b the length of the north wall (i suppose the answer is smaller then the barn.

Cost of the fence= a*6+a*12+b*12=3000 $.

So 3a+2b=500==>b=(500-3a)/2

Area =a*b=a(500-3a)/2= 250a-3/2a²

Derivate the area ==> 250-3a=0

==> a=250/3 and b=(500-3*250/3)/2=125

Width=125 (feet)

Length=250/3=83.333 (feet)

The function h(t) = -16t2 + 48t + 28 models the height (in feet) of a ball where t is the time (in seconds).
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>[using calculus] </em>When the function h(t) reaches its maximum value, its first derivative will be equal to zero (the first derivative represents velocity of the ball, which is instantaneously zero). We have h'(t) = -32t + 48, which equals zero when t = 3/2 = 1.5. The ball therefore reaches its maximum height when t = 1.5. To find the maximum height, we need to find h(1.5), which is 64 feet.

<em>[without calculus] </em>This is a quadratic function, so its maximum value will occur at its vertex. The formula for the x-coordinate of the vertex is -b/2a, so the maximum value occurs when t = -48/(2*16), which is 1.5. The maximum height is h(1.5), which is 64 feet.

Two ships leave the same port at the same time. Two hours later ship A has traveled 12 miles and ship B has traveled 8 miles.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, you can construct a triangle, just like the one in the figure.

We will use the <em>Cosine Rule</em> which is:

c² = b² + a² - 2 b c cos(θ)

where

  • c = 16 miles
  • b = 8 miles
  • a = 12 miles

Therefore,

2 b c cos(θ) = b² + a² - c²

cos(θ) = (b² + a² - c²) / 2 b c

θ = cos⁻¹( (b² + a² - c²) / (2 b c) )

θ = cos⁻¹( (8² + 12² - 16²) / 2(8)(16) )

<em>θ = 100.8°</em>

<em></em>

Therefore, the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>
