Mr. Jones' other friend Ms. O'Neill has "x" meters of fencing, what is the maximum area in square meters she can have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Max\ Area = \frac{x^2}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P = x[/tex] ---- the perimeter of fencing

Required

The maximum area

Let

[tex]L \to Length[/tex]

[tex]W \to Width[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = 2(L + W)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]2(L + W) = x[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]L + W = \frac{x}{2}[/tex]

Make L the subject

[tex]L = \frac{x}{2} - W[/tex]

The area (A) of the fence is:

[tex]A = L * W[/tex]

Substitute [tex]L = \frac{x}{2} - W[/tex]

[tex]A = (\frac{x}{2} - W) * W[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]A = \frac{x}{2}W - W^2[/tex]

Differentiate with respect to W

[tex]A' = \frac{x}{2} - 2W[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\frac{x}{2} - 2W = 0[/tex]

Solve for 2W

[tex]2W = \frac{x}{2}[/tex]

Solve for W

[tex]W = \frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]L = \frac{x}{2} - W[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{4}[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{2x- x}{4}[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{x}{4}[/tex]

So, the maximum area is:

[tex]A = L * W[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{x}{4}*\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Max\ Area = \frac{x^2}{16}[/tex]

A full waterbed mattress is 6 ft by 2 ft by 1 ft. The mattress is to be filled with water that weighs 62.4 lb /ft3. Find the weight of the water in the mattress to the nearest pound.

Answers

Answer:

749 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of the water in the mattress = volume of the mattress x weight of water

volume of the mattress = volume of a cuboid = length x width x height

6 x 2 x 1 = 12 ft³

weight of the water in the mattress = 12 x 62.4 = 748.8 lbs

749 lbs to the nearest pound

Write the sentence as an equation use x to represent a number

“Six times the difference of 11 and a number is -72”

Answers

Answer:

6 × (11 - x) = -72 => x = 23

or

6 × (x - 11) = -72 => x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

there are at least two possibilities, as the "difference between two numbers a and b can be excised as either a-b or b-a.

in any case, just following the sentence

Six times = 6 ×

difference of 11 and a number = 11 - x

is -72 = -72

so,

6 × (11 - x) = -72

and that is true for x = 23

but

the other direction is possible too

6 × (x - 11) = -72

and that is true for x = -1

Consider the systems of equations:

y=4/5 x+1

Without graphing, determine and explain how many solutions you would expect this system of equations to have.

Answers

Answer:

no solutions; the lines are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

The eqautions are in slope intercept form.

The slope of both lines is 4/5; therefor the lines are parallel

The y-intercept of one line is -3 and the other is 1

That means the parallelines never meet.

There are no solutions

There are no solutions for the system of equations y=4/5 x−3

and y=4/5 x+1

What is slope intercept form of line?

The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

The system of equations,

y=4/5 x−3

y=4/5 x+1

The equations are in slope intercept form.

As we observe the equations, the slopes of two equations is 4/5.

The slope of both lines is 4/5

Therefor the lines are parallel

The y-intercept of one line is -3 and the other is 1

That means the parallel lines never meet. There are no solutions

Hence there are no solutions for the system of equations y=4/5 x−3

and y=4/5 x+1

у=-3x+3
y = -9x + 15

Answers

Answer:

(2, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = - 3x + 3 → (2)

y = - 9x + 15 → (2)

Substitute y = - 3x + 3 into (2)

- 3x + 3 = - 9x + 15 ( add 9x to both sides )

6x + 3 = 15 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

y = - 3(2) + 3 = - 6 + 3 = - 3

solution is (2, - 3 )

A line that includes the point (2, 9) has a slope of 8. What is its equation in slope-intercept
form?

Answers

Answer:

y-8x+7=0

Step-by-step explanation:

slope(m)=8

using slope intercept form of equation of staright line we get

y=mx+b

y=8*x+b

y-8x=b ................  eq(i)

since the line include the point (2,9) it satisfies the euation,

here x=2 and y=9

equation: y-8x=b

9-8*2=b

9-16=-b

-7=b

substituting the value of b in eq(i) we get

y-8x=-7

y-8x+7=0   is a required equation of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Runner A runs towards North at speed of 10 km/h

Runner B runs towards East at speed of 12 km/h

After half hour, they covered a distance of

[tex]\Rightarrow d_a=10\times 0.5\\\Rightarrow d_a=5\ km[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow d_b=12\times 0.5\\\Rightarrow d_b=6\ km[/tex]

Dana enters a race where she has to cycle and run. She cycles a distance of 25km and then runs for 20km. Her average running speed is half of her average cycling speed. If dana completes the race in 5 hours, what is her average cycling speed !

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let running speed = x.

So, cycling speed = 2x.

Total distance traveled = 20 + 25 = 45km

Time taken running = 20/x

Time taken cycling = 25/2c

Total time taken = 5 hours

So, 5 = 20/x + 25/2x

Solving this equation for x gives:

10x = 65. Thus x = 6.5

Since cycling speed = 2x, cycling speed = (6.5)(2)

So cycling speed is 13 km/h.

Hope it helps.
