A farmer wants to fence a rectangular garden next to his house which forms the northern boundary. The fencingfor the southern bo
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

10 ft x 10 ft

Area = 100 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'S' be the length of the southern boundary fence and 'W' the length of the eastern and western sides of the fence.

The total area is given by:

A=S*W

The cost function is given by:

\$ 120 = \$3*2W+\$6*S\\20 = W+S\\W = 20-S

Replacing that relationship into the Area function and finding its derivate, we can find the value of 'S' for which the area is maximized when the derivate equals zero:

A=S*(20-S)\\A=20S-S^2\\\frac{dA}{dS} = \frac{d(20S-S^2)}{dS}\\0= 20-2S\\S=10

If S=10 then W =20 -10 = 10

Therefore, the largest area enclosed by the fence is:

A=S*W\\A=10*10 = 100\ ft^2

Researchers interested in lead exposure due to car exhaust sampled the blood of 52 police officers subjected to constant inhalat
ella [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 52

x bar = 122.31

standard deviation sd = 38.75

1. the hypothesis:

null hypothesis

h0: μ ≤ 35

alternative hypothesis

h1: μ > 35

2.

we have been given the sd of the sample but not that of the population. so what we are supposed to use here is the t test and not the z test. the following conditions have to be met.

  • population has to be normal
  • sample size has to be more than 30. we have sample size = 52 in this question.

3.

= \frac{122.31-35}{38.75/\sqrt{52} }

= 87.31/5.37

= 16.26

using the T distribution function in excel, the p value was calculated and found to be approximately equal to 0.

TDIST(16.26, 51, 1)

since p value is very small we reject the null and accept the alternate hypothesis.

4. from the result above the answer to this question is yes

Raphael is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed from point A to point B. His distance from point B in miles is -20t+
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Speed  = 20 mi/h

Explanation:

There are two points A and B

Distance between both the points are define with function -20t + 45 miles

where t represent the number of hours of travelling.

Now firstly we find the initial position. At starting time is 0, so we put t=0 in given function of t.

At t=0;

d₀ = -20(0) + 45 = 0 + 45 = 45 miles

Now we find the distance travell after starting first hour.

Than we put t = 1 in the given function

At t = 1;

d₁ = -20(1) + 45 = -20 + 45 = 25 miles

Difference between d₁ & d₀ is

45 - 25 = 20 miles

We see that in one hour, total distace is covered 20 miles

Now we use time, speed, distance relation

Speed = distance/time

Speed= \frac{20}{1}

Speed = 20 miles/hour

That's the final answer.

I hope it will help you.
