Answer:

Dimensions that minimize is; 20 ft x 100 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width and length be x and y respectively.

We are given area as 2000 Sq.ft.

Thus;

xy = 2000 - - - (eq 1)

We are told that the brick wall costs $20 per linear foot and the chain link costs $4 per linear foot. Thus;

C(x) = 20x + 4y

From eq(1),y = 2000/x

Thus;

C(x) = 20x + 4(2000/x)

C(x) = 20x + 8000/x

To minimize this, we will differentiate and equate to 0.

Thus;

C'(x) = 20 - 8000/x²

Equating to zeeo;

20 - 8000/x² = 0

20 = 8000/x²

20x² = 8000

Divide both sides by 20;

x² = 8000/20

x² = 400

x = √400

x = 20 ft

Putting 20 for x in eq 1,we have;

20y = 2000

y = 2000/20

y = 100 ft

In the diagram below, triangle abc ~ triangle dec . What is the value of x? A. 28 b. 24 c. 22 d. 26
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Given : ΔABC ~ ΔDEC

By the property of similarity,

"Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional"

\frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{BC}{EC}=\frac{AC}{DC}

Since, \frac{\text{AB}}{ED}=\frac{AC}{DC}

\frac{42}{6}=\frac{x}{(32-x)}

6x = 42(32 - x)

6x = 1344 - 42x

6x + 42x = 1344

48x = 1344

x = \frac{1344}{48}

x = 28 units

Therefore, Option (A). x = 28 units will be the answer.

Suppose a city with population 300 comma 000 has been growing at a rate of 3​% per year. If this rate​ continues, find the popul
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The population of this city in 13 years is 440,550.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Suppose a city with population 300, 000 has been growing at a rate of 3​% per year.

Now, to find the population of this city in 13 years.

Let the population of this city in 13 years be A.

Population (P) = 300,000.

Rate per year (r) = 3%.

Time (t) = 13 years.

Now, we put formula to get the population of the city in 13 years:

A=P(1+r)^t\\\\A=300,000(1+3\%)^{13}\\\\A=300,000(1+0.03)^{13}\\\\A=300,000(1.03)^{13}\\\\A=300,000\times 1.4685\\\\A=440,550.

Therefore, the population of this city in 13 years is 440,550.
