A rectangular bird sanctuary is being created with one side along a straight riverbank. The remaining three sides are to be encl

osed with a protective fence. If there are 12 km of fence available, find the dimension of the rectangle to maximize the area of the sanctuary.

Answer:

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:

P = 2*L + 2*W

And the area is:

A = L*W.

Now, we know that the sanctuary has one side along a straight riverbank, then we will not fence that side. if L > W, then makes sense to put one of the "length" sides in the riverbank, in that way, we are saving more fence for the other 3 sides.

Then we will have that, the total length of fence used is:

12km = 2*W + L (two times the width and only one time the length are fenced).

From this, we can isolate one of the variables:

L = 12km - 2*W

And replace that in the area equation:

A(W) = (12km - 2*W)*W = 12km*W - 2*W^2.

To maximize this function, we must see when the first derivate is equal to zero:

A'(W) = 12km - 4*W = 0

            12km = 4*W

             12km/4 = 3km = W

Then the width that maximizes the area is W = 3km.

And the maximum area will be:

A'(3km) = 12km*3km - 2*(3km)^2 = 18km^2

And the length can be computed with the equation:

L = 12km - 2*W = 12km - 2*3km = 6km

A boat leaves a.M. Marina at 7 AM traveling at 3.4 knots bearing is N38°E the boat docks on an island at 2pm how far north of th
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The distance between the docks & island is 44.07 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the boat S = 3.4 knot = 6.3 \frac{km}{hr}

Time taken by bot to reach the island = 7 hr

We know that the distance is given by

Distance = Speed × Time

Put all the values in above equation we get

D = 6.3 × 7

D = 44.07 km

Therefore the distance between the docks & island is 44.07 km.

Write four different expressions for the perimeter of a pentagon whose sides are all s-2 units long?
Masteriza [31]

Hey there!

1. 5(s-2) This is because s-2 is the length of each side, and there are 5 sides in a pentagon all of that length, so multiplying it by 5 like this shows its perimeter.

2. 5s-10 This can be found by distributing the first equation, multiplying both s and -2 by 5.

3. (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) Each grouping in the parenthesis represents each of the 5 sides, so adding them all together will get you the perimeter.

4. 5(s) + 5(-2) This one is most like the first one, except it's a little more spread out. Multiply the term s by the 5 sides in one grouping, and the integer -2 by 5 in the other.

Hope this helps!

Given the following prescription formula, what is the ratio strength (nearest whole number) of methylcellulose in the finished p
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

147

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Progesterone =  3.8 g

Glycerin = 7 mL

2% methylcellulose solution 50 mL

Cherry syrup ad = 90 mL

Now,

The total volume of the solution = 7 + 50 + 90 = 147 mL

Also,

2% methylcellulose solution 50 mL is concluded as:

the volume of  methylcellulose in the solution is 2% of the total volume of the solution

thus,

volume of methylcellulose = 0.02 × 50 mL = 1 mL

Therefore,

Ratio strength of methylcellulose in the finished product

=\frac{\textup{volume of methylcellulose}}{\textup{ total volume of the solution}}

or

= \frac{\etxtup{1}}{\textup{ 147}}

Hence, the answer according to the question is 147
