Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...
- all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
- y is a factor of every exponent
The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.
(3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)
-5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3
14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y
y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution

The rules of exponents we used are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
1/a^b = a^-b
If the rectangular field has notional sides X and y then it has area
A(x) =xy { =6•10^6 sq ft }
The length of fencing required, if
x
is the letter that was arbitrarily assigned to the side to which the dividing fence runs parallel, is:l (x) = 3x +2y
It matters not that the farmer wishes to divide the area into 2 exact smaller areas.
Assuming the cost of the fencing is proportional to the length of fencing required, then
C(x)=a L (x)
To optimise cost, using the Lagrange Multiplier
λ
, with the area constraint :
So the farmer minimises the cost by fencing-off in the ratio 2:3, either-way
35 squared or 35^2 is equal to 35x35
which equals 1225 Hope this helped!
