A farmer is building a fence to enclose a rectangular area against an existing wall. Three of the sides will require fencing and the fourth side is a wall that already exists. If the farmer has 148 feet of fencing, what is the largest area the farmer can enclose?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several things we need to know to solve this: the perimeter formula of a rectangle, the area formula of a rectangle, and how to complete the square to find the answer. First of all, if the farmer has 148 feet of fencing to enclose 3 sides of a rectangle, the perimeter formula we need will include only 3 sides, the 2 widths and the 1 length:

P = 2w + l; solving for l and filling in our length of fencing gives us:

l = 148 - 2w

The area then for this will be:

A = (148 - 2w)(w) which is the same thing as length times width (area for a rectangle). Multiplying that out gives us:

[tex]A=148w-2w^2[/tex]. Let's rearrange that and put it into descending order so we can complete the square on it:

[tex]A=-2w^2+148w[/tex]

The reason we want to complete the square is because the answer that results from that will give us the dimensions of the rectangle (the width and the length) and also the area. Completing the square maximizes (or minimizes) area.

To complete the square, first factor out the -2 since the leading coefficient when you complete the square has to be a +1. When we do that we get:

[tex]A=-2(w^2-74w)[/tex]. Set it equal to 0 so we can factor it:

[tex]-2(w^2-74w)=0[/tex]

The idea now is to take half the linear term (the term stuck to the w), divide it in half, then square that number. Our linear term is 74. Half of 74 is 37, and 37 squared is 1369. So we add 1369 to both sides, the left side first:

[tex]-2(w^2-74w+1369)=...[/tex]

But we didn't just add in 1369. There's a -2 out front there that refuses to be ignored. It's a multiplier. What we ACTUALLY added in was -2 times 1369 which is -2738; therefore:

[tex]-2(w^w-74w+1369)=-2738[/tex]

The left side can be simplified down to a perfect square binomial:

[tex]-2(w-37)^2=-2738[/tex]

Now we'll add over the -2738:

[tex]-2(w-37)^2+2738=y[/tex] and from there determine our answer. The (w-37) term is the width of the rectangle; therefore, the length is 148 - 2(37) which is 74; the total area if the 2738. Completing the square gives us the vertex form of the parabola; the vertex is (37, 2738) where 37 is the width of the rectangle and 2738 is the max area.

m∠A = 48.81°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle is a right triangle and we have to measure ∠A.

Since, opposite side and adjacent sides of angle A has been given

So we will apply tangent rule to get the measure of angle A.

tan(∠A) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

tan(∠A) = [tex]\frac{8}{7}[/tex]

∠A = [tex]\text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{8}{7})[/tex]

∠A = 48.814

  ≈ 48.81°

Paige only needs to sell to 17 more customers to receive a bonus. She works part time, so she only talks to 50 customers per day. With a sales ratio of 1:9, on which day will Paige qualify for a bonus?

Answers

Answer:

Paige will qualify for a bonus on her 4th day of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

50 customers per day

needs to sell to 17

Ratio = 1:9

      1:9

×17         ×17

    17:153

Paige needs to see 153 customers.

153 ÷ 50 = 3.06 ≈ 4   (As the answer is not asking for the exact number of the day you round up to make a whole day without underestimating)

So, Paige will qualify for a bonus on her 4th day of work.

Answers

Answer:

Michelle must get an 80 on her next test to keep her average score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Michelle got an average score of 80 on two tests, to determine what score she must get on the third test so that her average score for the three tests is the same as the average score for the first two tests, the following calculation must be performed:

X / 2 = 80

X = 80 x 2

X = 160

X x 3 = 80 x 3

X x 3 = 240

X = 240/3

x = 80

So, Michelle must get an 80 on her next test to keep her average score.

Johnny was able to drive an average of 29 miles per hour faster on his car after the traffic cleared. He drove 30 miles in traffic before it cleared and the drove another 176 miles. If the total trip took 6 hours, then what was his average speed in traffic?

Answers

Answer:

15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Before traffic cleared:

distance = 30 miles

average speed = s

time = t

d = st

30 = st

After traffic cleared:

distance = 176 miles

average speed = s + 29

time = 6 - t

d = st

176 = (s + 29)(6 - t)

30 = st

s = 30/t

176 = (30/t + 29)(6 - t)

176t = (30 + 29t)(6 - t)

176t = 180 - 30t + 174t - 29t^2

29t^2 + 32t - 180 = 0

(29t + 90)(t - 2) = 0

t = -90/29 or t = 2

Time must be a positive number, so we discard the solution t = -90/29.

t = 2

30 = st

30 = s * 2

s = 15

Answer: 15 mph

Consider function f, where B is a real number.

f(x)=tan(Bx)

Complete the statement describing the transformations to function f as the value of B is changed.

As the value of B increases, the period of the function (remains the same, increases, decreases), and the frequency of the function (remains the same, increases, decreases).
When the value of B is negative, the graph of the function (reflects over the y-axis, remains the same, reflects over the x-axis).

Answers

Using the concept of the tangent function, it is found that:

As the value of B increases, the period of the function decreases, and the frequency of the function increases. When the value of B is negative, the graph of the function reflects over the y-axis.

---------------------------------

Tangent function:

It is given by:

[tex]f(x) = \tan{Bx}[/tex]

The period is [tex]P = \frac{\pi}{|B|}[/tex].The frequency is [tex]F = \frac{1}{P} = \frac{|B|}{\pi}[/tex].

---------------------------------

The period is inversely proportional to B, thus, as B increases, the period decreases.Frequency is inversely proportional to the period, thus, as the period decreases, the frequency increases.When B is negative, we get [tex]f(x) = \tan{-Bx} = f(-x)[/tex], thus, the function is reflected over the y-axis, as the graph at the end of the answer shows, with f(x) is red(B positive) and f(-x) in blue(B negative).

---------------------------------

Considering the three bullet points above, the correct option is:

As the value of B increases, the period of the function decreases, and the frequency of the function increases. When the value of B is negative, the graph of the function reflects over the y-axis.

2. The area A of a circle is increasing at a constant rate of 2.5cm s . If the area of the circle is given
by A = πr2, what is the rate of change of the radius when the radius is 15cm?

Answers

Answer:

235.65 cm^2s-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that;

Rate of change of area (dA/dt) = (dA/dr) (dr/dt) By chain rule

Note that dr/dt = rate of change of radius

But

A = πr^2

dA/dr = 2πr

dr/dt = 2.5cm s-1 (given)

So;

dA/dt =  2πr * 2.5cm s-1

r = 15cm (given)

dA/dt = 2 * 3.142 * 15cm * 2.5cm s-1

dA/dt = 235.65 cm^2s-1
