The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 80
 The area is:
 A = x * y
 The area as a function of a variable is:
 A (x) = x * (40-x)
 Rewriting we have:
 A (x) = 40x-x ^ 2
 We derive the function:
 A '(x) = 40-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 40-2x = 0
 2x = 40
 x = 40/2
 x = 20 feet
 The other dimension is:
 y = 40 - x
 y = 40 - 20
 y = 20 feet
 The area will be:
 A = x * y
 A = 20 * 20
 A = 400 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The dimensions are:
 
x = 20 feet
 
y = 20 feet
 
The area is:
 
A = 400 feet ^ 2

Find the average value of f over region
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
D is a right triangle with base length 1 and height 8, so the area of D is \dfrac12(1)(8)=4.

The average value of f(x,y) over D is given by the ratio

\dfrac{\displaystyle\iint_Df(x,y)\,\mathrm dA}{\displaystyle\iint_D\mathrm dA}

The denominator is just the area of D, which we already know. The average value is then simplified to

\displaystyle\frac74\iint_Dxy\,\mathrm dA

In the x,y-plane, we can describe the region D as all points (x,y) that lie between the lines y=0 and y=8x (the lines which coincide with the triangle's base and hypotenuse, respectively), taking 0\le x\le1. So, the integral is given by, and evaluates to,

\displaystyle\frac74\int_{x=0}^{x=1}\int_{y=0}^{y=8x}xy\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\frac78\int_{x=0}^{x=1}xy^2\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=8x}\,\mathrm dx
=\displaystyle56\int_{x=0}^{x=1}x^3\,\mathrm dx
=14x^4\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=1}

Miguel completed the division problem below. What is Miguel's error? 754 divided by 0.52. 52 StartLongDivisionSymbol 7540 EndLon
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

He multiplied the divisor by 100 and the dividend by 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Divisor = 0.52

And, the dividend is 754

It can be written as

Divisor is 52 i.e. (0.52 × 100)

And, the dividend is 7540 i.e. (754 × 10)

Now if we multiplied by 100 and divide by 10 so it gives the same result

Therefore the last option is correct and the same is to be considered

And all the other options are wrong
