Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the rectangular pen and y represent the width of the rectangular pen. Since the total area of the pen is 169 ft², hence:

Area = length * width

169 = xy

y = 169/x

Also the perimeter of the rectangular pen is:

Perimeter (P) = 2(length + width)

P = 2(x + y)

P = 2x + 2y

P = 2x + 2(169/x)

P = 2x + 338/x

The least amount of fencing is at dP/dx = 0, hence:

dP/dx = 2 - 338/x² = 0

338/x² = 2

2x² = 338

x² = 169

x = 13 feet

y = 169 / x = 169/13 = 13 feet

The least amount of fencing = P = 2(x + y) =  2(13 + 13) = 52 feet

Assume that in january 2013, the average house price in a particular area was $289,400. in january 2000, the average price was $
PtichkaEL [24]
The problem is an arithmetic sequence with:
a₁ = 206,300
an = 208,400

n = 2013 - 2000
n = 13

To find the annual increase, use this following formula
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
d represents the annual increase

Input the numbers
an = a₁ + d(n - 1)
289,400 = 206,300 + d(13 - 1)
289,400 = 206,300 + 12d
289,400 - 206,300 = 13d
83,100 = 12d
12d = 83,100
    d = 83,100/12
    d = 6,925

The annual increase is $6925

Write the equation in spherical coordinates. (a) 4x2 − 3x + 4y2 + 4z2 = 0
spayn [35]
4x^2-3x+4y^2+4z^2=0
here we shall proceed as follows:
x=ρcosθsinφ
y=ρsinθsinφ
z=ρcosφ
thus
4x^2-3x+4y^2+4z^2=
4(ρcosθsinφ)^2-3(ρcosθsinφ)+4(ρsinθsinφ)^2+4(ρcosφ)
but
ρ=1/4cosθsinφ

hence we shall have:
4x^2-3x+4y^2+4z^2
=1/4cosθsinθ(cosθ(4-3sinφ))+4sin^2(φ)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

11) strategy:  since they tell us. indirectly,  that the length of  JK is the same as LM then we can set those two equal, solve for X  and then.. when we have X we can figure out the lenght of JK  and LM and then just divide that by 2 go get PK  ( :0 Player Killer ???  no , not that PK)    

solve JK and LM

3x + 23 =9x-19

42 = 6x

7 = x

now that we know x = 7 plug it into either equation to come up with the length of JK or LM .  I'll pick JK just b/c it was 1st

3(7) + 23 = JK

21+23 = JK

44 = JK

now take half of 1/2*JK= 22  that is PK    ( are you sure that 's not player killer?)

PK = 22

12) strategy: set the two arcs BG and GC equal and solve for X, then plug x into either equation and the multiply the answer by 2 to find arc AB

9x-20 = 5x + 28

4x = 48

X = 12

9(12) -20 = BG

88 = BG

2*88 + AB

176 = AB

13) done

14)  strategy: find the angle at L,  and that will also be the arc of MK

<em>copy and past the below</em> helpful trig functions into your computer

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

<em>copy and past the above</em> :

use which ever trig function you want , we have all the sides of the triangle, I'll use CAH

Cos(Ф) = 9/15

Ф = arcCos(9/15)

Ф = 53.13010°

arc MK = 53.13010°

15)   strategy:  arc JK is just 2 times MK

2*MK = 106.26020°

arc MK = 106.26020°

16) find arc JPK   strategy:  JPK is just the remaining part of a full circle of 360 - MK  = 253.7397°

arc JPK = 253.7397°
