A rancher needs to enclose two adjacent rectangular​ corrals, one for cattle and one for sheep. If the river forms one side of t

he corrals and 270 yd of fencing is​ available, find the largest total area that can be enclosed.

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!

Which equation is the inverse of y = 16x2 + 1? y = plus-or-minus StartRoot StartFraction x Over 16 EndFraction minus 1 EndRoot y
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 16x^2 + 1

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 16 y^2 +1

Then solve for y

Subtract 1

x-1 = 16 y^2

Divide by 16

(x-1)/16 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt((x-1)/16) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt((x-1))/ sqrt(16) = y

±sqrt((x-1))/ 4 = y

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Describe two different methods to find the elapsed time from 2:30 PM to 2:58 P. M.
Anit [1.1K]
Method 1:

Subtract 2:30 directly from 2:58. 

2:58 - 2:30 = 0:28

Method 2:

Round 2:58 to 3:00, subtract 2:30 from 3:00, and subtract 2 (2:58 + 2 = 3:00)

2:58 is approximately 3:00

3:00 - 2:30 = 30 min

30 min - 2 min = 28 min

Hope this helps!
