Answer:

<h3>THerefore, the area would be 12,100 square yards</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be x and the width be y

The perimeter of a rectangle is give as ; 2 ( L + B) , that is

We know the perimeter formula would be 440=2x+2y. And the area will be A=x*y

We can to take the derivative of the area formula to find where it is a max but we must first substitute something in from the first formula so we only have one variable.

440-2x=2y

220-x=y

A=(x)*(220-x)

A=220x-x^2

Now we take the derivative:

A'=220-2x (set equal to 0 and solve)

0=220-2x

2x=220

x=110 

Then when we plug this into the perimeter formula, we can solve for y

440=2x+2y

440=2(110)+2y

440=220+2y

220=2y

y=110

So both the length and width are 110 yards, and the area would be 12,100 square yards

<h3>THerefore, the area would be 12,100 square yards</h3>

Find all critical numbers for the following function. Then use the​ second-derivative test on each critical number to determine
Gelneren [198K]
Critical values are values where f'(x)=0 and the bounds of a function. Thus, let's solve for f'(x)!

f(x)=2x^3-3x^2+3x+8
f'(x)=6x^2-6x+3

Now let's set f'(x)=0

0=6x^2-6x+3
0=2x^2-2x+1

As it turns out, 2x^2-2x+1 isn't factorable!
This saves me some time because this means there are no critical numbers!

Answer:

365

Step-by-step explanation:

February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called the leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the Earth does not orbit the sun in precisely 365 days.
