Ok so basically your going to subtract 57-8 which is 49. So now you have 7y=49 so now divide 49 by 7 which is 7. So your answer is 7 and to check your work substitute 7 for y so.... 7(7)+8=57 so 57=57 which is accurate
It's not perfectly clear, but you seem to be saying that each week, the
pond becomes 3% deeper than it was THE PREVIOUS WEEK.
If I'm reading that correctly, then the pond is 10-ft deep when the rainy
season begins, and after 'x' weeks later, the depth is
D = 10 (1.03)^x feet.
After 8 weeks, the depth is D = 10 (1.03)⁸ = 12.67 feet .
rounded to the nearest foot, D = 13 ft.
Answer:
-1 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the perimeter formula would be 1200=2x+2y. And the area will be A=x*y
We can to take the derivative of the area formula to find where it is a max but we must first substitute something in from the first formula so we only have one variable.
1200-2x=2y
600-x=y
A=(x)*(600-x)
A=600x-x^2
Now we take the derivative:
A'=600-2x (set equal to 0 and solve)
0=600-2x
2x=600
x=300
Then when we plug this into the perimeter formula, we can solve for y
1200=2x+2y
1200=2(300)+2y
1200=600+2y
600=2y
y=300
So both the length and width are 300 yards, and the area would be 90,000 square yards
Hope this helps
