F(x) = 2w + I = 2w 5000/w

f'(x) = 2 - 5000 / w^2

Fencing is minimum, so f(x) = 0

2 - 5000/w^2 = 0

2 = 5000 /w^2

2w^2 = 5000

w = 50

I = 5000/2

= 1000

2w + I
= 200

hope this helps

What are the points on y-axis which are at a distance of 4 units from 4x+3y=12

marissa [1.9K]

Given:

The equation of line is

$4x+3y=12$

To find:

The points on y-axis which are at a distance of 4 units from the given line.

Solution:

The point lie on the y-axis. So, their x-coordinate must be zero.

Let the points are in the form of (0,k).

The distance between a point $(x_0,y_0)$ and a line $ax+by+c=0$ is

$d=\dfrac{|ax_0+by_0+c|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}$

The given equation can be written as

$4x+3y-12=0$

The distance between (0,k) and $4x+3y-12=0$ is 4 units.

$4=\dfrac{|4(0)+3(k)-12|}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}$

$4=\dfrac{|0+3k-12|}{\sqrt{16+9}}$

$4=\dfrac{|3k-12|}{\sqrt{25}}$

$4=\dfrac{|3k-12|}{5}$

Multiply both sides by 5.

$20=|3k-12|$

$\pm 20=3k-12$

$12\pm 20=3k$

$\dfrac{12\pm 20}{3}=k$

Now,

$k=\dfrac{12-20}{3}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{12+20}{3}$

$k=\dfrac{-8}{3}\text{ and }k=\dfrac{32}{3}$

Therefore, the two points are $\left(0,\dfrac{-8}{3}\right)\text{ and }\left(0,\dfrac{32}{3}\right)$ .

Find the optimal solution for the following problem. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

x=2.125

y=0

C=19.125

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use a graphical method, we start first noticing the restrictions $x\geq 0$ and $y\geq 0$ , which restricts the solution to be in the positive quadrant. Then we plot the first restriction $8x+10y\leq 17$ shown in purple, then we can plot the second one $11x+12y\leq 25$ shown in the second plot in green.

The intersection of all three restrictions is plotted in white on the third plot. The intersection points are also marked.

So restrictions intersect on (0,0), (0,1.7) and (2.215,0). Replacing these coordinates on the objective function we get C=0, C=11.9, and C=19.125 respectively. So The function is maximized at (2.215,0) with C=19.125.
