A winter recreational rental company is fencing in a new storage area. They have two options. They can set it up at the back cor

ner of the property and fence it in on four sides. Or, they can attach it to the back of their building and fence it in on three sides. The rental company has decided that the storage area needs to be 100 m2 if it is in the back corner or 98 m2 if it is attached to the back of the building. Determine the optimal design for each situation.

Answer:

Rectangular area attached to the back of the building

two sides of legth 7 m and one side of 14 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compare quantity of fencing material to be used in both cases

1.Option

A = 100 m² dimensions of storage area "x" and "y"

x*y = 100 y = 100/x

The perimeter of the storage area is

p = 2*x + 2*y ⇒ p = 2*x + 2*100/x

p(x) = 2*x + 200/x

Taking drivatives on both sides of the equation

p´(x) = 2 - 200/x²

p´(x) = 0 ⇒ 2 - 200/x² = 0

2*x² - 200 = 0 x² = 100

x = 10 m

and y = 100/10

y = 10 m

Required fencing material in first option

2*10 + 2*10 = 40 m

2.-Option

Following the same procedure

A = 98 m² y = A/x y = 98/x

p = 2*x + y p(x) = 2*x + 98/x

p´(x) = 2 - 98/x² p ´(x) = 0

2 - 98/x² = 0

2*x² = 98 x² = 49

x = 7 m and y = 98/ 7 y = 14 m

Total quantity of fencing material

p = 2* 7 + 14 p = 28

Therefore option 2 is more convinient from economic point of view

Optimal design rectangular storage area with two sides of 7 m and one side of 14 m

Solve the equation or inequality 3/2t-16=4/3t-6

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<em>t=60</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

3/2t-16=4/3t-6

(subtract 4/3t from both sides)

3/2t-16-4/3t=-6

(add 16 to both sides)

3/2t-4/3t=-6+16

(simplify)

1/6t=10

(divide by 1/6 (or multiply by 6 on both sides)

t=60

The perimeter of a rectangle is represented by 4x2 + 5x − 2. The perimeter of a smaller rectangle is represented by x2 + 3x + 5.

Simplify the function f (x) = one-third (81) Superscript StartFraction 3 x Over 4 EndFraction. Then determine the key aspects of

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{3}(81)^ \frac{3x}{4} \\Using\ exponent\ rule:a^{xy}=a^xa^y\\f(x)=\frac{1}{3}(81^{1/4})^ {3x}\\f(x)=\frac{1}{3}(3})^ {3x}\\f(x)=\frac{(3)^ {3x}}{3^1} \\Using\ exponent\ rule:a^x/a^y=a^{x-y}\\f(x)=3^ {3x-1}$

The function is an exponential function.

The domain is the set of all independent variables i.e the input values (x values). For an exponential function, the domain is the set of all real numbers. That is:

Domain: x = (-∞, ∞)

The range is the set of all dependent variables i.e the values of y. For an exponential function, the range is the set of all real numbers greater than zero. That is:

Range: y = (0, ∞)

A sanitation supervisor is interested in testing to see if the mean amount of garbage per bin is different from 50. In a random

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer with explanation:

Given : Sample mean = $\overline{x}=\text{48.47 pounds}$

Standard deviation : $\sigma=\text{ 3.1 pounds.}$

Sample size : n = 36

Claim : $\mu\neq50$

∴ $H_0:\mu=50$

$H_1:\mu\neq50$

Since the alternative hypothesis is two tail , then the test is two tail test.

By using a z statistic and a 0.05 level of significance. Reject $H_0$ if z < -1.960 or is z> 1.960.

Then , the test static for population mean is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z=\dfrac{48.47-50}{\dfrac{3.1}{\sqrt{36}}}\approx-2.96$

We reject $H_0$ since $-2.96\leq -1.96$ . We have statistically significant evidence at $\alpha=0.05$ to show that the mean amount of garbage per bin is not different from 50.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: $x+y\geq12$

$2.75x+3.50y\leq35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of red roses and y represents the number of white roses.

Given : Javier is purchasing a bouquet of roses from a floral shop. He wants the bouquet to have at least 12 roses.

i.e. the required inequality for this statement will be :-

No. of red roses +No. of white roses ≥ 12

i.e. $x+y\geq12$

Also, Red roses cost $2.75 each and white roses cost $3.50 each and he wants to spend less than $35.

i.e. $2.75(No. of red roses)+$3.50(No. of white roses)≤ $35

i.e. $2.75x+3.50y\leq35$

Now, From (1) and (2) the system of inequalities represents the situation :

$x+y\geq12$

$2.75x+3.50y\leq35$
