Answer:

The answer is 120 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the field (A) is:

A = w · l       (w - width, l - length)

It is known:

A = 12,000 ft²

l = w - 20

So, let's replace this in the formula for the area of the field:

12,000 = w · (w - 20)

12,000 = w² - 20

⇒ w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0

This is quadratic equation. Based on the quadratic formula:

ax² + bx + c = 0      ⇒  

In the equation w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0, a = 1, b = -20, c = -12000

Thus:

So, width w can be either

or

Since, the width cannot be a negative number, the width of the field is 120 feet.

Answer:

L = 120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

W = L-20

W x L = 12000

(L-20) x L = 12000

L^2 -20L -12000 = 0

(L + 100)(L - 120 ) = 0

L = 120 ft

W = 100 ft

Given f(x) = (lnx)^3 find the line tangent to f at x = 3
kirill [66]
Explanation

We must the tangent line at x = 3 of the function:

f(x)=(\ln x)^3.

The tangent line is given by:

y=m*(x-h)+k.

Where:

• m is the slope of the tangent line of f(x) at x = h,

,

• k = f(h) is the value of the function at x = h.

In this case, we have h = 3.

1) First, we compute the derivative of f(x):

f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{d}{dx}((\ln x)^3)=3*(\ln x)^2*\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=3*(\ln x)^2*\frac{1}{x}=\frac{3(\ln x)^2}{x}.

2) By evaluating the result of f'(x) at x = h = 3, we get:

m=f^{\prime}(3)=\frac{3}{3}*(\ln3)^2=(\ln3)^2.

3) The value of k is:

k=f(3)=(\ln3)^3

4) Replacing the values of m, h and k in the general equation of the tangent line, we get:

y=(\ln3)^2*(x-3)+(\ln3)^3.

Plotting the function f(x) and the tangent line we verify that our result is correct:

Answer

The equation of the tangent line to f(x) and x = 3 is:

y=(\ln3)^2*(x-3)+(\ln3)^3
