Answer:

the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the distance within 9 miles ⇒ 0 < x > 9

Total costs Q = cx + 4c/( x + 1)

costs should be minimum  ⇒ dQ/dx = 0

⇒ d/dx [ cx + 4c/( x + 1) ] = 0

⇒ ( x + 1)² = 4

take square root of both side

√[ ( x + 1)² ] = √4

x + 1 = 2

x = 2 - 1

x = 1

Therefore, the woman has to live 1 mile from work to minimize the expenses

The area of the David's pantry = 10 square feet.

The length of the pantry = 5 feet.

<h3>Define the term area of the rectangle?</h3>
  • The territory inhabited by a rectangle inside its 4 sides or limits is known as its area.
  • The area of such a rectangle is determined by its sides. Essentially, the formula calculating area is equivalent to the product of the rectangle's length and breadth.

For the given question.

  • David's kitchen is 60 square feet in size.
  • The kitchen is six times the size of the living room.

Thus,

Area of kitchen  = 6 x area of the pantry

60 = 6 x area of the pantry

area of the pantry = 60 / 6 = 10 square feet.

Area of the pantry = length x breadth

10 = length x 2

length = 10/2 = 5 feet.

Thus, the length of the pantry is found as the 5 feet.

Find the area of the shaded portion in the square. Show all work for full credit.
kumpel [21]
Well, what I would do [not sure if it's the correct way], is use the white area as a sector of a circle. The top right of the box is the center of the circle, so the radius is 6.
Then, by the white portion being one quarter of the circle (90° out of 360°), I could calculate the that pink shaded region = the total square (6×6) minus the white sector.
So area (A) of white sector (s): A(s) = 1/4×pi×r^2
A(s) =  \frac{\pi {r}^{2} }{4}  =  \frac{\pi  \times {6}^{2} }{4}  \\ A(s) =  \frac{36\pi}{4}  = \frac{9\pi}{1}  = 9x3.142 \\ A(s) = 28.27
36 - 28.27 = 7.73
