Let the length of the north and south sides be x, then the length of the east and west side is 32/x.
The total fencing needed is the perimeter of the rectangle = 2x + 2(32/x) = 2x + 64/x
Cost of fencing the north and south sides is 2(2x) = 4x
Cost of fencing the east and west sides is 4(64/x) = 256/x
Total cost (C(x)) of fencing the vegetable patch is 4x + 256/x
For minimum cost dC/dx = 0
4 - 256/x^2 = 0
4x^2 - 256 = 0
x^2 = 64
x = 8
Therefore, the <span>dimensions of the vegetable patch with the least expensive fence is
</span><span>north and south sides = 8 ft
</span><span>east and west sides = 32/8 = 4 ft</span>
2n^2-20=0
2n^2=20
n^2=20÷2
n^2=10
n=radical 10
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
h = height of the cone
Vcone = πr²h/3
H = h/2 = height of the cylinder
Vcylinder = πr²H = πr²h/2
Vcone/Vcylinder = (πr²h/3)/(πr²h/2)
= πr²h/3 x 2/πr²h
= 2/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 376.66
b) Option 2: No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.
c) 377
d) 40.77%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 37% of 1018 is;
37/100 × 1018 = 376.66
b) Thus, the result in a above is not a whole number. Thus;
No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.
c) from a above a, we got a value of 376.66.
Now the actual number would be preferably an integer. Thus, actual number is approximately 377.
d) percentage of respondents said that cellular phones are not at all harmful = 415/1018 × 100% = 40.77%
