A farmer needs to enclose three sides of a field with a fence (the fourth side is a river). The farmer has 49 yards of fence and

wants the field to have an area of 294 sq-yards. What should the dimensions of the field be? (For the purpose of this problem, the width will be the smaller dimension (needing two sides); the length with be the longer dimension (needing one side). Additionally, the length should be as long as possible.)

Answer:

The length of the field = 24.5 yards

The width of the field = 12 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

If "w" is the width, then the length is 49 - 2w.

The area of the rectangle field = length × width

= w(49 - 2w)

Area = 49w - 2w^2

This a quadratic equation, the vertex of x coordinate is w

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

Here a = -2 and b = 49

w = \frac{-49}{2(-2)} = \frac{-49}{-4} = 12.25.

So width of the field is 12.25 yards.

The length of the filed = 49 - 2(12.25) = 24.5

Area = 12.25 × 24.5 = 300.125 square yards.

The field has an area of 294.

Therefore, the length must be 24.5 yards and width must be 12 yards.

24.5 × 12 =294 square yards.

Therefore, the length of the field = 24.5 yards

the width of the field = 12 yards.

Which special case is represented by x? - 121?

Answer:

A. the difference of two squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use the symbol " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.

Then we have x^2 - 11^2, which is the difference of two squares:

x^2 is a square, the square of x; and 11^2 is a square, the square of 11.

A. the difference of two squares

Note that a "difference of squares" is easily factored:

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

and so your x² - 11² factors as follows:  (x - 11)(x + 11)

How do you round money to the nearest cent?Like for ex.:$2.15 to the nearest cent
Digiron [165]


To round money to the nearest cent you would see in the ones place what that number is and if it is at or higher than 5 it would round up to 2.20               

Did that help any I hope so:) if not tell me I will have another strategy

Answer: (-5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To the left 5 units turns our 0 into negative 5 (-5) and going down on the y axis by 1 is 1 instead of 2 so the new point is (-5,1)

1. The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is 0.15.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

1c

 n = 33

1d

 n = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is  p = 0.15

     The mean is  \mu  =  5

Generally the distribution of sales call  made by a  telesales representative follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators  

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

     \mu =  n*  p

=>  5= n *  0.15

=>  n = 33

Generally the least number of calls that need to be made by a representative for the  probability of at least 1 sale to exceed 0.95 is mathematically represented as

      P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X < 1 ) > 0.95

=>    P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X =0 ) > 0.95

=>    P( X \ge 1) = 1 - [ ^{n}C_0 *  (0.15 )^0 *  (1- 0.15)^{n-0}] > 0.95

=>    1 - [1  *  1*  (0.85)^{n}] > 0.95

=>    [(0.85)^{n}] > 0.05

taking natural  log of both sides

n = \frac{ln(0.05)}{ln(0.85)}

=>  n = 19
