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

A company is looking to design a new cover for their smartphone. The scale drawing of the design is shown below. The coordinates
lyudmila [28]
The coordinates of the corners in the scale drawing of the desing are:

H = (2,0)
I = (0,0)
J = (0,4)
K = (2,4)

That makes the lengths of the segments be:

HI = 2 - 0 = 2
JK = 2 - 0 =2
JI = 4 - 0 = 4
KH = 4 - 0 = 4

Now check the segments of the actual cover:

H'I' = 10 - 0 = 10
K'J' = 10 - 0 = 10
J'I' = 16 - 0 = 16
K'H' = 16 - 0 = 16

Now check corresponding segments meet proportionality criterium, which is needed for similarity:

H'I' / HI = 10 /2 = 5

K'J' / KJ = 10 / 2 = 5.

So far we this is fine.

JI / J'I' = 16 / 4 = 4............ then not, the ratio is not the same ratio of the other two segments, which implies that the scale used for the vertical segments is different to the scale used for the horizontal segments, driving to a non similar figure.

Answer: no, because the corresponding sides are not proportional

?/0.6=1.4<br>how to show the solution
den301095 [7]
To find the solution to this problem, you would do the opposite of division which is multiplication.

Use the terms you have to plug into your new equation;

0.6 x 1.4 = .84

To check your work you would plug in .84 where the '?' is;

.84/.6= 1.4

There you have the original equation you began with.

Therefore, .84 would be your final answer.
