3x-6=21
Or,3x=27
Or,x=27/3
Or,x=9
So,Now,

Question 57 need help

Okay so first we need to find the height ofn one hay barrel. To do this we must use the equations v= h×w×l

We already know 3 out of the 4 variables in the equations, in this case we are given the volume so we must work backwards.

The equation will look like this:
10 \frac{2}{3}    = h \times (1  \frac{1}{3} ) \times 4
First we must mulitpy 4 and 1 1/3 to get 16/3. The equation will now look like:
10 \frac{2}{3}  = h \times  \frac{16}{3}
Next divide 16/3 from h then from 10 2/3 to get :
2 = h
The height is 2ft. Finally multiply 2 by the number of hay barrels (8) placed upon each other becuase we're finding the height and you will get your answer of 16 ft in height.

Math help!! This is really difficult​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

y = -3/2 x +13

Step-by-step explanation:

We want our line to be perpendicular to

y = 2/3 x -1

The slope of this line is 2/3   (since it is written in the form y = mx+b and m is the slope)

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

m = -(3/2)

The slope of our new line is -3/2

We can use point slope form of the equation

y-y1 - m (x-x1)

y - 7 = -3/2 (x-4)

Distribute

y-7 = -3/2x +6

Add 7 to each side

y-7+7 = -3/2 x +6+7

y = -3/2 x +13

You have 6L feet of fence to make a rectangular vegetable garden alongside the wall of your house, where L is a positive constan
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

A(max) = (9/2)*L² ft²

Dimensions:

x = 3*L feet

y  = (3/2)*L   ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  "x"  and  " y " sides of the rectangle. The side x is parallel to the wall of the house then

Area of the rectangle is  

A(r) = x*y

And total length of fence available is 6*L f , and we will use the wall as one x side then, perimeter of the rectangle which is 2x  +  2y   becomes x + 2*y

Then

6*L  =  x + 2* y    ⇒ y  = ( 6*L - x ) /2

And the area as function of x is

A(x)  =   x* ( 6*L - x )/2

A(x)  = ( 6*L*x  - x² ) /2

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  1/2 ( 6*L - 2*x )

A´(x)  =  0      ⇒      1/2(  6*L  - 2*x ) = 0

6*L - 2*x  = 0

-2*x  = - 6*L

x  =  3*L feet

And

y  = ( 6*L - x ) /2   ⇒  y  = ( 6*L - 3*L )/ 2

y = ( 3/2)*L feet

And area maximum is:

A(max)  =  3*L * 3/2*L

A(max)  = (9/2)*L² f²
