<span>Length = 1200, width = 600
First, let's create an equation for the area based upon the length. Since we have a total of 2400 feet of fence and only need to fence three sides of the region, we can define the width based upon the length as:
W = (2400 - L)/2
And area is:
A = LW
Substitute the equation for width, giving:
A = LW
A = L(2400 - L)/2
And expand:
A = (2400L - L^2)/2
A = 1200L - (1/2)L^2
Now the easiest way of solving for the maximum area is to calculate the first derivative of the expression above, and solve for where it's value is 0. But since this is supposedly a high school problem, and the expression we have is a simple quadratic equation, we can solve it without using any calculus. Let's first use the quadratic formula with A=-1/2, B=1200, and C=0 and get the 2 roots which are 0 and 2400. Then we'll pick a point midway between those two which is (0 + 2400)/2 = 1200. And that should be your answer. But let's verify that by using the value (1200+e) and expand the equation to see what happens:
A = 1200L - (1/2)L^2
A = 1200(1200+e) - (1/2)(1200+e)^2
A = 1440000+1200e - (1/2)(1440000 + 2400e + e^2)
A = 1440000+1200e - (720000 + 1200e + (1/2)e^2)
A = 1440000+1200e - 720000 - 1200e - (1/2)e^2
A = 720000 - (1/2)e^2
And notice that the only e terms is -(1/2)e^2. ANY non-zero value of e will cause this term to be non-zero and negative meaning that the total area will be reduced. Therefore the value of 1200 for the length is the best possible length that will get the maximum possible area.</span>
-1/24 is that true?????????
The average rate is (4%*2+8%)/3=16/3%=5-1/3%
Therefore the original investment was
3664/(16/300)=300*3664/16=68700,
of which 1/3 was at 8% = 22,900
and 2/3 was at 4% = 45,800
Check:45,800*.04+22,900*.08=3664 yay!
Answer: a) 92 yards, b) 29.29 yards and 672.99 sq. yd.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Area of square pen = 529 sq. yd
Let the length of each side be 'a'.
As we know the formula for "Area":
So, the perimeter of the square pen is given by
So, perimeter of square pen = Perimeter of round pen
So, the diameter of round pen is 
And the area of round pen is
Hence, a) 92 yards, b) 29.29 yards and 672.99 sq. yd.
The term polynomial comes from the words poly- which means "many" and -nomial meaning "terms". In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression that consists of variables and coefficients wherein it only utilizes addition, subtraction, multiplication and a non-negative integer. In the given options above, the variable expression that is not a polynomial is option C. x^9+y^3.
