You have D dollars to buy fence to enclose a rectangular plot of land (see figure at right). The fence for the top and bottom co

alex41 [277]

The perimeter of the rectangular plot of land is given by the expression below

$P=2x+2y$

On the other hand, since the available money to buy fence is D dollars,

$\begin{gathered} D=4(2x)+3(2y) \\ \Rightarrow D=8x+6y \\ D\rightarrow\text{ constant} \end{gathered}$

Furthermore, the area of the enclosed land is given by

$A=xy$

Solving the second equation for x,

$\begin{gathered} D=8x+6y \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6y}{8} \end{gathered}$

Substituting into the equation for the area,

$\begin{gathered} A=(\frac{D-6y}{8})y \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{D}{8}y-\frac{3}{4}y^2 \end{gathered}$

To find the maximum possible area, solve A'(y)=0, as shown below

$\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}(y)=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{D}{8}-\frac{3}{2}y=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{3}{2}y=\frac{D}{8} \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{D}{12} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the corresponding value of x is

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{D}{12} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6(\frac{D}{12})}{8}=\frac{D-\frac{D}{2}}{8}=\frac{D}{16} \end{gathered}$ <h2>Thus, the dimensions of the fence that maximize the area are x=D/16 and y=D/12.</h2><h2>As for the used money,</h2> $\begin{gathered} top,bottom:\frac{8D}{16}=\frac{D}{2} \\ Sides:\frac{6D}{12}=\frac{D}{2} \end{gathered}$ <h2>Half the money was used for the top and the bottom, while the other half was used for the sides.</h2>

James puts $3,500 into a savings account that earns 2.5% simple interest. He does not touch that account for 3 years. What would

miskamm [114]

Given :

James puts $3,500 into a savings account that earns 2.5% simple interest.

He does not touch that account for 3 years.

To Find :

The new balance of the account be after 3 years.

Solution :

Interest on $3500 after 3 years is :

$I = \dfrac{P_o\times r\times t}{100}\\\\I = \dfrac{3500\times 2.5\times 3}{100}\\\\I = \$262.5$

So, new balance of the account after 3 years is $( 3500+262.5 ) = $3762.5 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
