Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangular plot.

The plot is bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-strand electric fence. It means,

x+2y = 1500

x = 1500 - 2y ....(1)

We know that the area of a rectangular plot is given by :

A = xy ....(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

A=(1500-2y)y\\\\A=1500y-2y^2 .....(3)

For largest area, differentiate above area equation wrt y.

\dfrac{dA}{dy}=\dfrac{d}{dy}(1500y-2y^2)\\\\=1500-4y\\\\\text{Put}\ \dfrac{dA}{dy}=0\\\\1500-4y=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1500}{4}\\\\=375

Put the value of y in equation (1).

x = 1500-2(375)

= 750 m

Put the value of y in equation (3).

A =1500(375)-2(375)^2\\A=281250\ m^2

Hence, the largest area is 281250 m² and its dimensions are 750 m and 375 m.

<h3>Answer: </h3>

about 1.768 seconds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Since the phone is <em>dropped</em>, the first equation applies. The final height is assumed to be zero, so we have ...

... h(t) = 0 = -16t² +50

... 16t² = 50 . . . . . . . . add 16t²

... t² = 50/16 . . . . . . . . divide by 16

... t = √3.125 . . . . . . . take the square root

... t ≈ 1.768 . . . . . . . . round to milliseconds

At a sport clubhouse the coach wants to rope off a rectangular area that is adjacent to the building. He uses the length of the
Furkat [3]

Answer:

w < 8 meters ( w must be greater than 0 because length cannot be 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

One side with building is 23 meters, the other opposite side also will be 23 meters (with rope).

Let width (remaining 2 sides) be "w", he has AT MOST 39 meters of rope, so we can write:

Rope Needed = 23 + 2w < 39

Simplifying:

23 + 2w < 39\\2w < 39 - 23\\2w < 16\\w < 8

The range of possible values of w is  w meters (of course w has to be greater than 0)

Amrita thinks of a number. She doubles it, adds 9 , divides her answer by 3 and finally subtracts 1 . She obtains the same numbe
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Amrita's number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x               Double the unknown number

2x             Add 9

2x + 9       Divide the answer by 3

2/3x + 3   Subtract 1

2/3x + 2   Set this equal to the original number

2/3x + 2 = x

-2/3x       -2/3x   Subtract 2/3x from both sides

2 = 1/3x   Multiply both sides by 3

6 = x
