Answer:

14,062.5ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer has a given length of fencing. Since this fencing is used to enclose a rectangular area, before it is then divided it into four pens using the same provided fencing material. This will definitely lead to five lengths of fencing which come along one side of the rectangle to form four pens.

Let us assume that the length of the each of the five sides be xft.

Then let the length of each of the two sides in the be yft.

Since the total length of fencing available is 750 feet.

Then we can have an equation of such:

5x+2y=750

Making y the subject

2y = 750-5x

y = 750-5x/2. ........1

The area of the rectangular region is given by:

A = xy. ......... 2

Combining (1) in (2) to find the area

A(x)= x. (750−5x)/2

=750x−5x^2/2 ........... (*)

Going by the means of first diffential calculus.

A(x)=750x−5x^2/2

A'(x) = 750-10x/2

Setting A'(x) = 0

750-10x/2 = 0

750-10x = 2×0

750-10x = 0

750= 10x

x = 750/10

x = 75

Now that we have x = 75

We can now substitute into equation (*)

A(x) = 750×75-5×75^2/2

= (56250-28125)/2

= 28126/2

= 14062.5

Hence the rectangular region of maximum area is

14062.5ft^2

Answer:

D 28x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, we add all the sides

2x+2x+5x+8+4x+10+5x+8+x+2+2x+7x+12 = P

Combine like terms

2x+2x+5x+4x+5x+x+2x+7x+10+8+8+2+12

28x +40

<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. Scientific notation is written by writting a decimal number between 1 and 10 together with an exponent of 10.

Given
(4.23\times10^{12})\div(9.0\times10^6)

First, using distributive property of numbers, seperate the decimal numbers and the exponents of 10, we have
(4.23\div9.0)\times(10^{12}\div10^6)=0.47\times10^{12-6}=0.47\times10^6

Because, scientific notation requires that the decimal number part be a number between 1 and 10, we move the decimal point 1 place foward and subtract 1 from the exponent of 10.

Therefore, </span><span>(4.23\times10^{12})\div(9.0\times10^6)
in standard notation is
4.7\times10^5</span>

Jada was using square stickers with a side length of 3/434 inch to decorate the spine of a photo album. The spine is 10 1/21012
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: The number of stickers she used to cover the length of the spine = 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of spine = 10\dfrac12 inches  = \dfrac{21}{2} inches

Length of each sticker = \dfrac34 inch

If she laid the stickers side by side without gaps or overlaps, the number of stickers she use to cover the length of the spine = \text{(Length of spine)}\div (\text{Length of each sticker})

=\dfrac{21}{2}\div\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{2}\times\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{7\times2}{1}=14

The number of stickers she used to cover the length of the spine = 14.

Answe The locations of E' and F' are E' (−8, 0) and F' (0, 4), and lines g and g' intersect at point F.

The locations of E' and F' are E' (−4, 0) and F' (0, 2), and lines g and g' are the same line.

The locations of E' and F' are E' (−2, 0) and F' (0, 1), and lines g and g' are parallel.

The locations of E' and F' are E' (−1, 0) and F' (0, 0), and lines g and g' are not related.

are your answer options I went with..  The locations of E' and F' are E' (−2, 0) and F' (0, 1), and lines g and g' are parallel.
