1. What is the approximate solution of the linear system represented by the graph below?
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 5 and y = 6; that is the (5, 6) (x, y) pair.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph shows two lines that cross at the point (5, 6) on the plane (see attached image).
This means that the point x=5 and y=6 belongs to both lines (is a solution for both equations representing the lines) and therefore this pair of values is the solution to both equations in the system.

Answer:
150 feet by 300 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The fence is to enclose a rectangular area of 45,000 ft squared.
If the dimensions of the rectangle are x and y
Area of a rectangle = xy
- xy=45000
Perimeter of the Rectangle =2x+2y
Fencing material costs $ 3 per foot for the two sides facing north and south and $6 per foot for the other two sides.
- Cost of Fencing, C=$(6*2x+3*2y)=$(12x+6y)
Substitute into the Cost to get C(y)
C=12x+6y
The value at which the cost is least expensive is at the minimum point of C(y), when the derivative is zero.
Recall,
Since x=150, y=300
The dimensions that will be least expensive to build is 150 feet by 300 feet.
