Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangular corral producing the greatest enclosed area  is a square of 80 ft x 80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length of the rectangular corral in feet

y -----> the width of the rectangular corral in feet

we know that

The area of the rectangular corral is equal to

A=xy -----> equation A

The perimeter of the rectangular corral is equal to

P=2(x+y)

P=320\ ft

so

320=2(x+y)

Simplify

160=(x+y)

y=160-x -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

A=x(160-x)

A=-x^2+160x

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the length for the maximum area

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area

Convert the quadratic equation in vertex form

A=-x^2+160x

Factor -1

A=-(x^2-160x)

Complete the square

A=-(x^2-160x+80^2)+80^2

A=-(x^2-160x+80^2)+6,400

Rewrite as perfect squares

A=-(x-80)^2+6,400

The vertex is the point (80,6,400)

so

x=80\ ft

The maximum area is 6,400 ft^2

<em>Find the value of y</em>

y=160-x  ----> y=160-80=80\ ft

therefore

The dimensions of the rectangular corral producing the greatest enclosed area  is a square of 80 ft x 80 ft

stiv31 [10]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Omar rented a truck for one day. There was a base fee of $17.95, and there was an additional charge of 98 cents for each mile driven. Omar had to pay $23 when he returned the truck. For how many mile did he drive the truck?

Answer: Omar drove the truck for 5.15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Base fee = 17.95 $

Additional charge per mile = 98 cents = 0.98 $     ( 100cents = 1$)

Now Omar payed = 22 $

Let the miles he travelled = x

Now , 17.95+0.98\times x=23

Solvimg for x :

x=5.15miles

Thus Omar drove the truck for 5.15 miles

Tshepo needs R5 000 urgently. He goes to the bank and borrows the money at an interest rate of 28% per annum, compounded monthly
12345 [234]

Answer:

<u>R8000</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's calculate the amount they are going to have to pay the bank after 1 year. It is given by the following expression:

R5 000 * 1.28= R6400

Therefore, they have to pay R6400/12 monthly.

Now, in fifteen months the total amount to pay should be (R6400/12) * 15= <u>R8000</u>.
