2=1.86
5=x
----------------------
2x=17.29
divide both sides by 2
x=4.32 per apple

<u>Given expression is </u>

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} }$

can be rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times { {(5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} - {5}^{2} \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {( {5}^{2} )}^{n + 1} }$

We know,

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ {( {x}^{m} )}^{n} \: = \: {x}^{mn}}}} \\$

And

$\purple{\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \: \: {x}^{m} \times {x}^{n} = {x}^{m + n} \: }}} \\$

So, using this identity, we

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{5 \times {5}^{2n + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 3 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 4} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

can be further rewritten as

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{{5}^{2n + 2 + 1} - {5}^{2n + 2} }{{5}^{2n + 2 + 2} - {5}^{2n + 2} }$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{ {5}^{2n + 2} (5 - 1)}{ {5}^{2n + 2} ( {5}^{2} - 1)}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{25 - 1}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{4}{24}$

$\rm \: = \: \dfrac{1}{6}$

<u>Hence, </u>

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\boxed{\tt{ \dfrac{5 \times {25}^{n + 1} - 25 \times {5}^{2n} }{5 \times {5}^{2n + 3} - {25}^{n + 1} } = \frac{1}{6} }}$

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:

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

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