Answer:

The maximum area is therefore is 93750 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter are;

The a]length of fencing available = 1500 ft.

The perimeter of the figure = 9·x + 4·y

Therefore, 9·x + 4·y = 1500 ft.

The area of the figure = 6 × (x × y) = 3·x × 2·y

From the equation for the perimeter, we have;

9·x + 4·y = 1500

y = 1500/4 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4·x

y = 375 - 9/4·x

Substituting the value of y in the equation for the area gives;

Area = 3·x × 2·y = 3·x × 2·(375 - 9/4·x) = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

Area = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

The maximum area is found by taking the derivative and equating to zero as follows;

d(2250·x - 27/2·x²)/dx = 0

2250 - 27·x = 0

x = 2250/27 = 250/3

x = 250/3

y = 375 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4×250/3 = 187.5

The maximum area is therefore, 3·x × 2·y = 3 × 250/3 × 2 × 187.5 = 93750 ft²

The maximum area is therefore = 93750 ft.²

What is the equation of the parabola?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Show Solution. Start by writing the equation of the parabola in standard form. The standard form that applies to the given equation is (x−h)2=4p(y−k) ( x − h ) 2 = 4 p ( y − k ) . Thus, the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis.

1x10 to the fifth power over 4x10 to the negative faith power given on scientific notation
MissTica

Answer:

2.5*10^{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

1x10 to the fifth power over 4x10 to the negative fourth power given on scientific notation

we know that

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.

we have

\frac{1*10^{5}}{4*10^{-4}}=(\frac{1}{4})*10^{5+4} =0.25*10^{9}= 2.5*10^{8}

Suppose a random sample of 50 college students are asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 95% confide
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A  99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  95% confidence interval for for the mean foot length for students at the college is found to be 21.709 to 25.091 cm

Generally the width of a confidence interval is dependent on the margin of error.

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

From the above equation we see that

          E \ \  \alpha \ \   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }

Here  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  is the critical value of the half of the level of significance and this value  increase as the confidence level increase

Now if a  99% confidence level is  used , it then means that the value of  

 Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  will increase, this in turn will increase  the margin of error and in turn this will increase the width of the confidence interval

Hence a 99% confidence interval  will be wider than a 95% confidence interval

Two men walk at rates of 6 miles per hour and 10 miles per hour, respectively. Simultaneously, they started from the same place
alina1380 [7]

The time taken by the two men will be equal to 26 hours

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

here two men are walking at different speeds like

v₁=6 miles per hour

v₂=10 miles per hour

The time taken by them to separated by the distance of 100 miles each so that both of them separated by the distance of 200 miles.

t₁= {100}/{6}=16.66 hours

t₂= {100}/{10}=10 hours

total time taken will be

t₁+t₂=16.66+10=26.66 hours
