Suppose you need to minimize the cost of fencing in a rectangular region with a total area of 450 square feet. The material that

will be used for three sides costs $21 per linear foot, and the material that will be used for the fourth side costs $15 per linear foot. Write a function that expresses the cost of fencing the region in terms of the length, x, of the two opposite sides of the region with material costs of $21 per linear foot.

Answer:

The problem is stated as:

Min C = 15*(2*x +y) + 21*y

subject to x*y = 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the region is rectangular, it has two opposite sides called x and two other opposite sides called y (both measured in feet). Then, the area (in square feet) is:

A = x*y = 450

One of the sides called y costs $21 per linear foot. The other 3 sides (two x and one y) costs $15 per linear foot. Then, the cost function is:

C = 15*(2*x +y) + 21*y

There are the combinations that result in a total less than 7 and at least one die showing a 3:

[3, 3] [3,2] [2,1] [1,3] [2,3]
The probability of each of these is 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36

There is a little ambiguity here about whether or not we should count [3,3] as the problem says "and one die shows a 3." Does this mean that only one die shows a 3 or at least one die shows a 3? Assuming the latter, the total probability is the sum of the individual probabilities:

1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 + 1/36 = 5/36

Therefore, the required probability is: 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

coin toss is 1/2, probability of getting an ace of hearts is 1/4

therefore 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

(1 - cos ß)(1 + cos ß) =1/cosec^2(ß)
iVinArrow [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

L.H.S=(1-cosB)(1+cosB)

=(1-cos^2B). {using (a+b) (a-b)=(a^2-b^2)in second step}

=sin^2B

=1/cosec^2B

Therefore,L.H.S=R.H.S proved
