Answer: 170

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up simultaneous equations such that:

E = R+400

E - 60 = 3R

Solving gives R = 170 and E =570

Step-by-step explanation:

$4\frac{9}{20} - 1\frac{2}{6} =\\\frac{89}{20} - \frac{8}{6} = \frac{89 - 26.7}{20} = \frac{62.3}{20} \\$

$4\frac{6}{9} - 3\frac{3}{6} =\\\frac{42}{9} - \frac{21}{6} = \frac{252 - 189}{54} = \frac{63}{54} = 1\frac{9}{54}$

$2\frac{2}{4} - 1\frac{1}{3} =\\\frac{10}{4} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{30 - 16}{12} = \frac{14}{12} = 1\frac{2}{12}$

Peter has 3200 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular area. Find the dimensions of the rectangle that maximize the enclosed a

salantis [7]

Answer:

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for the rectangular area and perimeter are, respectively:

$A (x,y) = x\cdot y$

$3200\,yd = 2\cdot (x+y)$

After some algebraic manipulation, area expression can be reduce to an one-variable form:

$y = 1600 -x$

$A (x) = x\cdot (1600-x)$

The first derivative of the previous equation is:

$\frac{dA}{dx}= 1600-2\cdot x$

Let the expression be equalized to zero:

$1600-2\cdot x=0$

$x = 800$

The second derivative is:

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dx^{2}} = -2$

According to the Second Derivative Test, the critical value found in previous steps is a maximum. Then:

$y = 800$

The maximum area is:

$A = (800\,yd)\cdot (800\,yd)$

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$
