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

Answer:

1) C) sin(θ) = 119/169

2) D) cos(θ) = 120/169

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA expresses the relationships you need for answering these questions.

Sin(θ) = Opposite/Hypotenuse = 119/169 . . . . . problem 1

Cos(θ) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse = 120/169 . . . . problem 2

Two cars leave a town at the same time heading in opposite directions. One car is traveling 12 mph faster than the other. After
HACTEHA [7]
D = rt.  The first car's rate is r, and the other one, going faster, is r + 12.  The time they travel is 2 hours.  Since one is going faster than the other, he has gotten farther.  But, regardless of that, the distance between them is 232.  So the distance the first one travels, r*t, which 2r, plus the distance the second one travels, 2(r+12) = 232.  2r + 2r + 24 = 232.  Solve for r.  4r = 208 and r = 52.  The slower one goes 52 and the faster one goes 64

Is {(3,4),(3,5),(4,4), (4,5)} a function
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

<u>No, it's not a function.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not a function because the x-inputs repeat. It would be a function if each x-input was a different number, but the inputs 3 and 4 repeat twice. <u>Therefore, this is not a function.</u>

Evaluate.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: -2 4/15

Step-by-step explanation: To properly subtract, we need to find a common denominator. We can list the multiples of 3 and 5 to find the common denominator:

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15

5: 5, 10, 15


The first common multiple we see is 15.

Calculation:

3 · 3 = 9

9 + 1 = 10

3 1/3 = 10/3

5 x 5 = 25

25 + 3 = 28

-5 3/5 = -28/5

Now to convert into fifteen as the denominator:

-28/5 = -28 x 3/5 x 3 = -84/15

10/3 = 10 x 5/3 x 5 = 50/15

Now to subtract accordingly:

50/15 - 84/15 = -34/15

Final answer: -34/15 (can be reduced to -2 4/15).
