A rectangular parking area measuring 5000 ft squared is to be enclosed on three sides using chain-link fencing that costs $5.5

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Dimensions: 75.3778 ft and 66.3325 ft

Minimum price: $1658.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length of the parking area 'x', and the width 'y'.

Then, we can write the following equations:

-> Area of the park:

x * y = 5000

-> Price of the fences:

P = 2*x*5.5 + y*5.5 + y*7

P = 11*x + 12.5*y

From the first equation, we have that y = 5000/x

Using this value in the equation for P, we have:

P = 11*x + 12.5*5000/x = 11*x + 62500/x

To find the minimum of this function, we need to take its derivative and then make it equal to zero:

dP/dx = 11 - 62500/x^2 = 0

x^2 = 65000/11

x = 250/sqrt(11) = 75.3778 ft

This is the x value that gives the minimum cost.

Now, finding y and P, we have:

x*y = 5000

y = 5000/75.3778 = 66.3325

P = 11*x + 62500/x = $1658.31

The price of the box of 15 stickers is $6. The price of the box of 25 stickers is $8. All prices are without tax, and the price

spayn [35]

Answer:

A box of 50 stickers would cost $13

Explanation:

1- getting the equation representing the price:

We have two variables; the number of stickers and the price of the box

We can note that the price is the dependent variable (y) while the number of stickers is the independent one (x)

We are given that:

A box of 15 stickers cost $6..........> first point is (15,6)

A box of 25 stickers cost $8 ........> second point is (25,8)

The general equation of the linear line is:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

i. getting the slope:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{8-6}{25-15}=0.2$

The equation now became: y = 0.2x + c

ii. getting the y-intercept:

To get the y-intercept, use any of the given points and substitute in the equation we got in part i. I will use the point (15,6)

y = 0.2x + c

6 = 0.2(15) + c

c = 6 - 0.2(15) = 3

The final equation is:

y = 0.2x + 3

where y is the price of the box and x is the number of stickers it contains

2- getting the price of a box with 50 stickers:

To get the price of a box of 50 stickers, simply substitute with x = 50 in the equation we got from part 1

This is done as follows:

y = 0.2(50) + 3 = 13

Therefore, a box of 50 stickers will cost $13

Hope this helps :)

Identify the trinomial that is a perfect square. 81x^2 − 70x 16 64x^2 − 90x 25 81x^2 − 72x 16 64x^2 − 70x 25

Vilka [71]

Hmm
(a+b)^2=(a+b)(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2

basically
for
ax^2+bx+c
it is a perfect trinomial when
b=2(√a)(√c)
remember to take both positive and negative roots into consideration
because
(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2 and
(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

see each

first one
-70=2(9)(4)
-70=72
false

second
-90=2(8)(5)
-90=80
false

third
-72=(9)(4)
-72=72
false
but, the last one could be negative
(9x-4)^2 is factor
that is the answer

the answer is 81x^2-72x+16
