Solve the following two problems using Calculus. Show all of your work on a separate sheet of paper, making clear how you arrive

d at all your solutions. Please be aware that you are using similar thinking for both of these problems, but you are solving for maximum area in Part A and minimum cost in Part B. Enjoy
A. If the materials for the fence cost $12 per foot, find the dimensions of the
corral for the largest possible area that can be enclosed with $2400 worth of fence.

B. If he only requires an area of 288 square feet for his vegetable garden, find the minimum cost of putting up this fence, if the cost per foot is $10. Indicate the dimensions of the garden that will minimize the cost.​

Answer:

  A. 50 ft square

  B. 12√2 ft square

Step-by-step explanation:

These problems are basically the same, so have the same solution. The rectangle with maximum area for a given perimeter will have the same shape as the one with minimum perimeter for a given area.

We can find it generically. Let p represent the perimeter of a rectangular area with one side that measures x. The area will be ...

  A = x(p/2 -x) = -x^2 +(p/2)x

The area will be maximized when dA/dx = 0:

  dA/dx = -2x +p/2 = 0

  p/2 = 2x . . . . . add 2x

  x = p/4 . . . . . . divide by 2

The other dimension is ...

  p/2 -x = p/2 -p/4 = p/4

The dimensions of the maximum area for perimeter p are ...

  p/4 × p/4 . . . . . . . a square

__

<h3>A. </h3>

$2400 worth of fence at $12 per foot is 2400/12 = 200 ft of fence. The largest possible area that can be enclosed will have dimensions of 200 ft/4 = 50 ft square:

  50 ft × 50 ft

__

<h3>B.</h3>

The perimeter of the garden will be at its shortest when the shape of the garden is square.

  √(288 ft²) = 12√2 ft

The dimensions of the garden that will minimize the cost are ...

  12√2 ft × 12√2 ft

Answer:

x = 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

   5 cm                 3 cm

------------------ = ------------------------

(40 + 5) cm      (3 + 2x + 10) cm

This simplifies to:

  5             3

-------- = -----------

  45       2x + 13

Solve for x.  Cross-multiplying, we get:

10x + 65 = 135, or x = 7

So x = 7 units.

If Cara lost 3 teeth, how many teeth has Kathleen lost?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

I help!!

Step-by-step explanation:

1. we know that Cara lost 4 less teeth than Kathleen, and the number of teeth Kathleen lost is represented by K. So, any equation that shows K-4=C will do.(feel free to use that equation)

2. this is essentially the same as the first equation, just reversed. So use + instead of -, and instead of ending up with =C you should end up with =K

You are still using the same plugs, C, 4 and K.

3. This is basic math. Cara lost 3 teeth, Kathleen lost 4 more than cara. So, 3+4=?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

  247,605

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the population is multiplied by a factor of (1 -14.6%) = 0.854. Multiplying by that factor for 10 years gives the value ...

  1,200,000×0.854^10 ≈ 247,605

The population in 1990 is predicted to be 247,605.
