Answer:
- 50 ft by 75 ft
- 3750 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...
y = (300 -2x)/3
And the enclosed area is ...
A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)
This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.
The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...
50 ft by 75 ft
That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).
Answer:
(a)His monthly Interest Rate=0.8%
(b)Annual Interest Rate = 9.6%
(c)
Step-by-step explanation:
For a Principal P invested at a yearly rate r, compounded m times in t years
Amount at Compound Interest= 
Comparing with Jerry's equation y=388 (1.008)
(a)His monthly Interest Rate= 0.008=0.8%
(b)Annual Interest Rate= Monthly Interest Rate X 12 =0.8 X 12 = 9.6%
(c)If I invest $500 at the same rate of return,
Total Money after m months
= 
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
If Judge is x years old and Eden is 6 years older, then Eden is x + 6 years old.
The second part tells us that Eden will be twice as old as Judge in two years.
This means that in two years: (Eden's age) = 2 * (Judge's age).
Since we know that Eden's age can be represented as x + 6 and Judge's age can be represented as x, we can write this: x + 6 = 2 * x
Simplify the equation:
x + 6 = 2x
6 = x = Judge's age (in two years)
If Judge is 6 two years later, then he must be 4 now.
To check our work, we can just look at the problem. Judge is 4 years old and Eden is 6 years older than Judge (that means Eden is 10 right now). Two years later, Eden is 12 and Judge is 6, so Eden is twice as old as Judge. The answer is correct.
The answer is 11.21, dividing 6.391 by 0.57 will give you 11.2122807018.
Rounding to 11.21 because the thousandths place is less then 5 so the hundredths place stays the same.
(numeral)~(decimal)~(tenths)(hundredths)(thousandths)
Answer:
n = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2n - 5 = 31
Add 5 to each side
2n - 5+5 = 31+5
2n = 36
Divide each side by 2
2n/2 = 36/2
n = 18
