Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

21 + 4 = 25 (blue plus white marbles)

150/25 = 6 (all the marbles divided by how many we know are white and blue)

21 x 6 = 126

A field bordering a straight stream is to be enclosed. The side bordering the stream is not to be fenced. If 1000 yards of fenci

sveta [45]

Answer:

x = 500 yd

y = 250 yd

A(max) = 125000 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call x the side parallel to the stream ( only one side to be fenced )

y the other side of the rectangular area

Then the perimeter of the rectangle is p = 2*x + 2* y ( but only 1 x will be fenced)

p = x + 2*y

1000 = x + 2 * y ⇒ y = (1000 - x )/ 2

And A(r) = x * y

Are as fuction of x

A(x) = x * ( 1000 - x ) / 2

A(x) = 1000*x / 2 - x² / 2

A´(x) = 500 - 2*x/2

A´(x) = 0 500 - x = 0

x = 500 yd

To find out if this value will bring function A to a maximum value we get the second derivative

C´´(x) = -1 C´´(x) < 0 then efectevly we got a maximum at x = 500

The side y = ( 1000 - x ) / 2

y = 500/ 2

y = 250 yd

A(max) = 250 * 500

A(max) = 125000 yd²

Maslowich

In kilometers, the approximate distance to the earth's horizon from a point h meters above the surface can be determined by evaluating the expression

$d= \sqrt{12h}$

We are given the height h of a person from surface of sea level to be 350 m and we are to find the the distance to horizon d. Using the value in above expression we get:

$d= \sqrt{12*350}=64.81$

Therefore, the approximate distance to the horizon for the person will be 64.81 km
