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

Hey i need help with system of equations.<br> i uploaded a doxs file you can onpen it in google docs
Art [367]

Answer:

<h2>PART A: x = 15 and y = -8</h2><h2>PART B: x = -5 and y = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A:

The first equation is x + y = 7\\y = 7 - x  .............(a)

The second equation is 3x - 2y = 1\\2y = 3x - 1

Putting the value of y from (a) in the above equation, we get 2y = 3x - 1\\2(7 - x) = 3x - 1\\14 - 2x = 3x - 1\\x = 15

From (a) we get y = 7 - x = 7 - 15 = -8

PART B:

Here the system of equations are -x + 4y = 17........(a) and 3x - 5y = -30.........(b)

From (a) we get, x = 4y - 17

Putting the above value of x in (b) we get, 3x - 5y = -30\\3(4y - 17) - 5y = -30\\12y - 51 - 5y = -30\\7y = 21\\y = 3

Hence, x = 4y - 17 = 12 - 17 = -5
