Basically, what this asks you is to maximize the are A=ab where a and b are the sides of the recatangular area (b is the long side opposite to the river, a is the short side that also is the common fence of both corrals). Your maximization is constrained by the length of the fence, so you have to maximize subject to 3a+b=450 (drawing a sketch helps - again, b is the longer side opposite to the river, a are the three smaller parts restricting the corrals)
3a+b = 450
b = 450 - 3a
so the maximization max(ab) becomes
max(a(450-3a)=max(450a-3a^2)
Since this is in one variable, we can just take the derivative and set it equal to zero:
450-6a=0
6a=450
a=75
Plugging back into b=450-3a yields
b=450-3*75
b=450-225
b=215
Hope that helps!

Solve F=D+Drt for t.....
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

t = \frac{-D+F}{Dr}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation.

  • Drt + D = F

Step 2: Subtract D from both sides.

  • Drt + D - D = F - D
  • Drt = -D + F

Step 3: Divide both sides by Dr.

  • \frac{Drt}{Dr} = \frac{-D+F}{Dr}
  • t = \frac{-D+F}{Dr}

1. COST Mr. Rivera wants to purchase a riding lawn
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

p(x) = 0.85x

t(x) = 1.065x

(t o p)(x) = 0.9x

$2700

Step-by-step explanation:

If the marked price is $x, then the function p(x) that gives the price of the riding lawn mower after 15% discount will be

p(x) = x(1 - \frac{15}{100}) = 0.85x

where x is the marked price.

Now, the function that gives the total cost with sales tax will be given by

t(x) = x(1 + \frac{6.5}{100}) = 1.065x

where x is the discounted price.

Therefore, the composite function that gives the total cost of the riding lawn mower on sale is given by

(t o p)(x) = 1.065(0.85x) = 0.9x ............ (1)

where x is the marked price.

If the marked price x = $3000, then Mr. Rivera has to pay for the riding lawn mower, from equation (1),

(t o p)(3000) = 0.9 × 3000 = 2700 dollars. (Answer)
