Patricia is building the community dog park. She plans to build the dog park right beside the city park so she can use one side

of the existing fence. Her budget allows her to purchase 340 feet of fencing. In order to make the area of the dog park as large as possible, determine the dimensions of the dog park if one side of the fence is attached to the city park’s fence.

Answer:

85 feet by 170 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This one relies on Calculus.

so you have 340   feet.

Let  x = width,   y = length of rectangle

one side of this rectangle will not use the new fence material

so  2x + y = 340 feet.

Area = x*y

We want to maximize  Area

Area  A = x*y = x*(340 - 2x)

Take the derivative of A  w.r.t.  x

dA/dx =  340 - 4x

set it to 0

340 - 4x = 0

4x = 340

x = 85 feet

and y = 340 - 2x = 340 - 2*85 = 340 - 170 = 170 feet

Which hyperbola has one focus point in common with the hyperbola (y+11)^2/(15^2)-(x-7)^2/(8^2)=1
irina [24]
\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }\\\\
\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\
vertices\ ({{ h}}, {{ k}}\pm a)
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{(y+11)^2}{15^2}-\cfrac{(x-7)^2}{8^2}=1\implies \cfrac{(y-(-11))^2}{15^2}-\cfrac{(x-7)^2}{8^2}=1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
c=\textit{distance from the center to either foci}\\\\
c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\implies c=\sqrt{15^2+8^2}\implies \boxed{c=17}

now, if you notice, the positive fraction, is the one with the "y" variable, and that simply means, the hyperbola traverse axis is over the y-axis, so it more or less looks like the picture below.

now, from the hyperbola form, we can see the center is at (7, -11), and that the "c" distance is 17.

so, from -11 over the y-axis, we move Up and Down 17 units to get the foci, which will put them at (7, -11-17) or (7, -28) and (7 , -11+17) or (7, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x

x=3

y=3(3) (3×3)

3x3=9

So 9(y)=3(3x)

Answer:

Insurance will pay $250,000 and Ronaldo will pay $90,000

Step-by-step explanation:

50/250 means 50 is the maxi9$50,000 per person for body injury liability while 250 means $250,000 maximum for one accident for body injury liability claim.

18 children each was awarded $20,000 as a result of lawsuit

Total amount of lawsuit=18×$20000= $360000

Ronald has 50/250 BI

Total amount insurance will pay =250,000

Ronald will have to pay= $(360,000-250000)=$90,000
