I would like to create a rectangular vegetable patch. The fencing for the east and west sides costs $4 per foot, and the fencing

for the north and south sides costs only $2 per foot. I have a budget of $176 for the project. What are the dimensions of the vegetable patch with the largest area I can enclose?

X = E/W dimension 
<span>y = N/S dimension </span>

<span>4x + 4x + 2y + 2y = 64 </span>
<span>8x + 4y = 64 </span>
<span>4y = 64 - 8x </span>
<span>y = 16 - 2x </span>

<span>Area = xy = x(16 - 2x) = 16x - 2x^2 </span>

<span>Maximum of y = ax^2 + bx + c is when x = -b / 2a </span>

<span>so x = -16 / -4 = 4 </span>

Tariq wrote the equation y=3.2x to represent the line of best fit for the data shown. Is his line a good representation for the
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find the line of best fit by estimate is to have about half the points be above and below the line of best fit. In this case Tariq followed the first few points of the data but his estimate would be very off after 10 on the x axis.  This would not accurately predict what the next data point could be.

A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s
Tasya [4]
Given:
Original price = 20
reduces selling price by 25% every month it's not sold.

First markdown month:
20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15

Second markdown month
15 * 75% = 11.25

Macy, employee gets a 50% discount off the current price.
11.25 * 50% = 5.625
11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or 5.63

The pre-tax price of the shirt for Macy will be $5.63

Answer: B has greater spread than A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Set A: {38, 12, 23, 48, 55, 16, 18}

Range of A = Highest - Lowest

Range of A =  55  -  12

Range of A = 43

Set B:{44, 13, 24, 12, 56}

Range of B = Highest - Lowest

Range of B =    56      -     12

Range of B =       44

Since Range of B is more than range of A.

Hence, B has greater spread than A.

A ball is thrown from a height of 43 meters
AveGali [126]
When the ball will hit the ground, the height will be zero. So we need to replace h with 0 in our equation, and solve for t:
0=43-4t-5t^{2}
-5t^{2}-4t+43=0
To solve this equation we are going to use the quadratic formula: t= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}.
From our height equation, we can infer that a=-5, b=-4, and c=43. So lets replace those values in our quadratic formula to find t
t= \frac{-(-4)(+/-) \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-5)(43)} }{2(-5)}
t=- \frac{5}{8} - \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8} or t=- \frac{5}{8} + \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}
t=-3.96 or t=2.71
Since time cannot be negative, t=2.71 is the solution of our equation.

We can conclude that the ball will hit the ground after 2.71 seconds.
