You need to construct fence around an area of 3136 ft2. What are the dimensions of the rectangular pen that minimize the amount

of material needed
Mathematics

borishaifa [10]2 years ago

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

If the probability that the Islanders will beat the Rangers in a game is 2/7, what is the probability that the Islanders will wi
Helga [31]

0.1328 is the probability that the Islanders will win exactly zero out of six games in a series against the Rangers.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given data is that probability the islanders will beat the rangers in a game is \frac{2}{7}.

So, probability that the islanders will not beat the rangers in the game is = 1-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{5}{7}

Let, x be the favorable outcome as,

x = no. of times islanders win the game

Probability of success (p) =  \frac{2}{7}

Probability of failure (q) = \frac{5}{7}

So, the probability of x would be,

                      x = n C_{r} \times(p)^{r} \times(q)^{n-r}

                     P(x=0) = 6 C_{0} \times\left(\frac{2}{7}\right)^{0} \times\left(\frac{5}{7}\right)^{6}

                      P(x=0) = 1 \times 1 \times \frac{(15625)}{117649} = 0.13281

Which point is on the circle with center (-3,-1) that contains the point (1, 2)?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Any point that is 5 units from the center

Step-by-step explanation:

The given circle is centered at;

(-3,-1) and contains (1,2).

The radius is given by:

r =  \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2}

We substitute the point to get:

r =  \sqrt{(1- - 3)^2 +(2- - 1)^2}

r =  \sqrt{4^2 +3^2}

r =  \sqrt{25}  = 5

Therefore any point that is 5 units from the center lies on this circle.
