The two enclosures will need three equal fences coming out from the wall and meeting another fence running parallel to the wall. If the fences coming out from the wall are x metres long the parallel fence will be (132 - 3x) metres long.
The area A = x(132 - 3x) = 132x - 3x^2
The derivative of A = zero when 132 - 6x = 0 which means the maximum area is when x = 22m
The maximum area = 22 x (132 - 3 x 22) = 1452 m^2
If you don’t know how to find derivatives then you could sketch the graph of y = x(132 - 3x).
This is an inverted parabola (hill) with x intercepts at 0 and 132/3 = 44.
The maximum point (top of the hill) is halfway between 0 and 44 I.e. 22m
Try any other value for x and the area will be smaller.
The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically,
. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute
into the formula for volume. You get
, and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get
. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule
, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that
. For your final answer, you write
. This corresponds to
answer choice B.
Answer:
24.50, 10
Step-by-step explanation:
To write 8/33 as a decimal you have to divide numerator by the denominator of the fraction.
<span>We divide now 8 by 33 what we write down as 8/33 and we get 0.24242424242424 </span>
<span>And finally we have: </span>
8/33 as a decimal<span> equals </span><span>0.24242424242424</span>
