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

Can someone help me with this math hw ​
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = x² - 2x + 1

      = (x - 1)²

By comparing this equation with the vertex form of the quadratic equation,

y = (x - h)² + k

Here, (h, k) is the vertex

Vertex of the parabola → (1, 0)

x-intercepts → (x - 1)² = 0

                       x = 1

y-intercepts → y = (0 - 1)²

                       y = 1

Now we can draw the graph of the given function,

From this graph,

As x → 0,

\lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (x-1)^2=1

\lim_{x \to 0^{+}} (x-1)^2=1

f(0) = (0 - 1)²

     = 1

Since, \lim_{x \to 0^{-}} (x-1)^2=\lim_{x \to 0^{+}} (x-1)^2=1

Therefore, given function is continuous at x = 0.

Is the simplified form of 2 v3 · 2 v6 rational?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

2√3 × 2√6

= 4√18

= 4√9*2

= 4( 2√2)

= 8√2

Just multiply the numbers under the radical together.  √3 × √6 = √18.  √18 can be written as √9*2, or 3√3.

√2 is irrational, so the answer will be irrational

2(1 – x) > 2x HELP ASAP!!! I CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
katrin [286]
<h3>Answer:  x < 1/2</h3>

This is the same as saying x < 0.5 since 1/2 = 0.5

====================================================

Work Shown:

2(1-x) > 2x

2*1 + 2*(-x) > 2x ..... distribute

2 - 2x > 2x

2 > 2x+2x .... adding 2x to both sides

2 > 4x

4x < 2 ..... flip both sides; flip the inequality sign

x < 2/4 ..... dividing both sides by 4; see note below

x < 1/2

Note: We do not flip the inequality sign here because we are dividing both sides by a positive value. The inequality sign would only flip if you divide both sides by a negative number.

When Ricardo was 9 years old, he was 56 inches tall. By age 12, he had increased his
Schach [20]

Answer:

He is 62.72 inches tall now

Step-by-step explanation:

the twelve over 100 is the percentage, he increased by 12 percent. and the x over 56 is the new value (x) over the old value. We get 6.72 so we add that to 56 to get 62.72.
