Answer:

10 by 10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In calculus terms, you can use the formula for the perimeter which is 2l + 2w, and the area l × w.

Then since the area is 100

l × w = 100. So w = 100/l

Then substitute this into the perimeter formula.

w = 100/l → 2l + 2(w) = 2l + 2(100/l) = 2l + 200/l.

Then take the derivative d/dx [take the derivative of a quantity with respect to x], by using a simpler method known as the power rule:

d/dx[x^n] = nx^n-1

so p = 2l + 200/l becomes p' = 2 - 200/l^2

Since the derivative of a constant is 0, to solve for l, set p' to 0

0 = 2 - 200/l^2 → -200/l^2 = -2 → 200/l^2 = 2 → 2l^2 = 200 → l^2 = 100 → l = √100, l = 10.

Now that we know the length is 10, We can substitute the length in the original equation to find the width.

l = 10 → w = 100/l → w = 100/10, w = 10.

Therefore the perimeter of each rectangular pen is 40, with a length of 10 and width of 10.

If you want to do this algebraicly, there are more steps involved

If cos(x) = 0.5, then what is x?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

=60 the second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trigonometric ratio, we can find the value of the angle by simply finding the inverse of the given ratio.

If for example Cos ∅= a, then ∅=Cos⁻¹a

If Cos (x)= 0.5, then x= Cos⁻¹ 0.5

Cos⁻1 0.5=60°

The angle whose sine is 0.5 is ∅=60°

Divide. Write your answer in simplest form. 6/7 ÷ 5/21​
Serjik [45]
The answer is 8/5.
To divide fractions, flip the second fraction and multiply.
For example,
= 6/7 • 21/5
= 126/35
Simplify by dividing both sides by 7 to get your answer.
= 8/5

Which is equivalent to 4y-2x=16
ad-work [718]
X-intercept. y-intercept
4*0-2x=16. 4y-2*0=16
-2x+0=16. 4y-0=16
-0. -0. +0 +0
-2x. /-2 = 16/-2 4y/4 =16/4
x = -8. y = 4
