I would like to create a rectangular vegetable patch. The fencing for the east and west sides costs $4 per foot, and the fencing

for the north and south sides costs only $2 per foot. I have a budget of $128 for the project. What are the dimensions of the vegetable patch with the largest area I can enclose?

The answer to this question:
<span>north and south sides 16ft
east and west sides 8ft
</span>
In this question, the east and west fencing cost is $4/ft but the south and north fencing cost is $2/ft. The cost is cheaper for fencing north and south side which cost half of the east and west side. The perimeter is made by adding the south, north, east and west side.
If x = north and south fencing and y= is east and west side, then you can get this equation

cost= (south+north) * $2 + (east+west)*$4  
128=(x+x) * 2 + (y+ y) * 4
128= 4x + 8y
32= x+ 2y
x= 32-2y

The area is count by multiplying the width and length, which was x and y in this question. The formula should be:
area= length * width
area= x * y
area= (32-2y) * y
area= 32y - 2y^2

Then, you need to find the value of y needed for the maximum area.
32y- 2y^2 
32 - 2*2y=0
32= 4y
y= 8

If y=8 then
x= 32-2y
x= 32- 16= 16

a) Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 300 gallons of water in which 50 pounds ofsalt have been dissolved. Pure wat
Kay [80]

Answer:

x  =  50*e∧ -t/100

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume:

1.-That the volume of mixing is always constant 300 gallons

2.-The mixing is instantaneous

Δ(x)t   =  Amount in  - Amount out

Amount  =  rate * concentration*Δt

Amount in  =  3 gallons/ min * 0  =  0

Amount out  = 3 gallons/min *  x/ 300*Δt

Then

Δ(x)t/Δt  =  - 3*x/300    Δt⇒0   lim Δ(x)t/Δt  =  dx/dt

dx/dt  =  - x/100

dx/ x  =  - dt/100

A linear first degree differential equation

∫ dx/x   =  ∫ - dt/100

Ln x  =  - t/100  +  C

initial conditions to determine C

t= 0     x =  50 pounds

Ln (50) = 0/100 * C

C =  ln (50)

Then final solution is:

Ln x  =  - t/100  + Ln(50)   or

e∧ Lnx   =  e ∧ ( -t/100 + Ln(50))

x  =  e∧ ( -t/100) * e∧Ln(50)

x  = e∧ ( -t/100) * 50

x  =  50*e∧ -t/100

What are the similarities and differences that exist between all continuous linear and continuous exponential functions?
max2010maxim [7]
You can recognize exponential and linear functions by their graph. Linear functions are straight lines while exponential functions are curved lines. You can also recognize them by the change in y. If the same number is being added to y, then the function has a constant change and is linear
