Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The the area of the rectangular pen be A = LW

L is the length

W is the width

Given

A = 3136ft²

3136 = LW..........1

Given the perimeter P = 2L+2W....... 2

From 1; L = 3136/W

Substitute into 2

P = 2(3136/W)+2W

P = 6272/W + 2W

In order to minimize the amount of material needed, then dP/dW = 0

dP/dW = -6272/W² + 2

0 = -6272/W² + 2

6272/W² = 2

cross multiply

6272 = 2W²

W² = 3136

W = √3136

W = 56ft

Since A = LW

3136 = 56L

L = 3136/56

L = 56ft

Hence the dimensions of the rectangular pen that minimize the amount of material needed is 56ft by 56ft

Describe the nature of the roots for this equation
vitfil [10]

First, fint the roots of the equation 2x^2+5x-7=0.

1.

D=5^2-4\cdot 2\cdot (-7)=25+56=81,\\\sqrt{D}=\sqrt{81}=9,\\ \\x_1=\dfrac{-5-9}{2\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{14}{4}=-3.5,\\ \\x_2=\dfrac{-5+9}{2\cdot 2}=\dfrac{4}{4}=1.

2. You can see that this equation has two different real roots. Note that you can make this statement without finding roots, only knowing the value of discriminant: since D=81>0, then the equation has two different real roots.

A line passes through (2, 8) and (4, 12). Which equation best represents the line?
andrezito [222]
If you plug in the x values of both (2, 8) and (4, 12) into each equation, you'll find that y = 2x + 4 gives you the correct y values for both (2, 8) and (4, 12). So that is your answer.
