<span>Perimeter =2w+2L= 520.
We can solve this by understanding that the area is maximized by a square
Therefore L=w.

p=2w+2w=520=4w
w=130

Area
 
A=wL=130(130)= 16900 square yards</span>

The first thing we are going to do for this case is define variables.

We have then:

w: width

l: length

The perimeter is given by:

2w + 2l = 520

The area is given by:

A = w * l

The area as a function of a variable is:

A (w) = w * (260-w)

Rewriting we have:

A (w) = -w ^ 2 + 260w

To obtain the maximum area, we derive:

A '(w) = -2w + 260

We equal zero and clear the value of w:

-2w + 260 = 0\\2w = 260

w = \frac{260}{2}\\w = 130

Then, the length is given by:

l = 260 - w\\l = 260 - 130\\l = 130

Finally, the maximum area obtained is:

A = w * l\\A = 130 * 130\\A = 16900

Answer:

A retangle that maximizes the enclosed area has a length of 130 yards and a width of 130 yards.

The maxium area is 16900 square yards

Help!! I cant figure this out for some reason
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

x³ - 6x² + 18x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

= x³ - 2x² + 12x - 6 - (4x² - 6x + 4)

= x³ - 2x² + 12x - 6 - 4x² + 6x - 4 ← collect like terms

= x³ - 6x² + 18x - 10

Answer:

  • 0 ≤ m ≤ 7
  • 0.4541 cm/month; average rate of growth over last 4 months of study

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A</u>:

The study was concluded after 7 months. The fish cannot be expected to maintain exponential growth for any significant period beyond the observation period. A reasonable domain is ...

  0 ≤ m ≤ 7

__

<u>Part B</u>:

The y-intercept is the value when m=0. It is the length of the fish at the start of the study.

__

<u>Part C</u>:

The average rate of change on the interval [3, 7] is given by ...

  (f(7) -f(3))/(7 -3) = (4(1.08^7) -4(1.08^3))/4 = 1.08^3·(1.08^4 -1)

   ≈ 0.4541 cm/month

This is the average growth rate of the fish in cm per month over the period from 3 months to 7 months.
