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

M_6 is (2x – 5)º and m_8 is (x + 5)º.
HACTEHA [7]

m_6 + m_8 = 180º because they form a straight line.

So, (2x-5) + (x+5) = 180

    3x = 180

      x = 60

So, m_115º    (2•60 - 5 = 115)

Also, because the two lines are parallel m_6 = m_3 by alternate interior angles.

So, m_3 = 115º

Graph f(x)=−3/4x−4 . Use the line tool and select two points to graph the line.
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Two points on the line would be (0, -4) and (4, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we can start at the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the constant at the end of the equation. In this case it is -4, which gives us the first point of (0, -4).

We can find the second point by using the numerator of the slope to determine how much we go up or down (-3) and the denominator for how much we go left to right (4). So we add the 4 to the x value and add the -3 to the y value.

(4, -7)

What is the slope of the line?<br> 3(y - 1) = 2x + 2<br> Choose 1 answer:
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y - 1) = 2x + 2

3y - 3 = 2x + 2

3y = 2x + 5

3y/3 = 2x/3 + 5/3

y = 2/3x + 5/3

Does that help?
