Answer:
x = 59.4 ft
y = 84.18ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of exterior walls is $150 per linear foot.
The cost of interior walls is $100 per linear foot.
xy = 5000
y = 5000/x
For the exterior walls, we have 2(x+y)(120)
For the interior wall, we have 100x
The cost function = C
C = 2(x+y)(120) + 100x
C= 240(x+y) + 100x
= 240x + 240y + 100x
= 340x + 240y
Recall that y = 5000/x
C = 340x + 240(5000/x)
C = 340x + 1200000/x
Differentiate C with respect to x
C'(x) = 340 - 1200000/x^2
= (340x^2 -1200000) / x^2
To minimize cost C'(x) = 0
(340x^2 -1200000) / x^2 = 0
340x^2 -1200000 = 0
340x^2 = 1200000
x^2 = 1200000/340
x = √1200000/340
x = 59.4 ft
Recall that y = 5000/x
y = 5000/59.4
y = 84.18 ft
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The question is to factorize 
<em>What is common from all 3 terms?</em> It is the factor 4, so we take out 4 and write the remaining as "factorized form".

<u>First answer choice is right.</u>
Are you sure that's all of the answer choices because 259 would be the answer.
Answer:
3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times a number is 3x, if we use x as the number
Two less than (3x) is 3x - 2
