130ft: you would need to do 65.5 x 23 to get 1506.5 but this is in inches, not ft so you need to convert this, which means that you need to divide 1506.5 by 12 which gets 125.54..... and round that to the nearest tenth, which leaves you with 130ft

hope this helps

You just discovered that you have 100 feet of fencing and you have decided to make a rectangular garden. What is the largest are
Rudik [331]
The area is:
 A = x * y
 The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 100
 We clear y:
 2y = 100-2x
 y = 50-x
 We write the area in terms of x:
 A (x) = x * (50-x)
 Rewriting:
 A (x) = 50x-x ^ 2
 Deriving:
 A '(x) = 50-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 50-2x = 0
 x = 50/2
 x = 25
 Then, the other dimension is given by:
 y = 50-x
 y = 50-25
 y = 25
 Therefore, the largest area is:
 A = (25) * (25)
 A = 625 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the largest area you can enclose using the materials you have is:
 
A = 625 feet ^ 2

The equation y 4.9t 2 3.5t 2.4 relates the height y in meters to the elapsed time t in seconds for a ball thrown downward at 3.5
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

t \approx 0.43\,s

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical displacement function is y(t) = -4.9\cdot t^{2}-3.5\cdot t + 2.4, where y(t) is measured in meters and t in seconds. Ball hits the ground when y(t) = 0. That is:

-4.9\cdot t^{2}-3.5\cdot t + 2.4 = 0

Whose roots can be found by using the General Formula for Second-Order Polynomials:

t_{1,2} = \frac{3.5\pm \sqrt{(-3.5)^{2}-4\cdot (-4.9)\cdot (2.4)} }{2\cdot (-4.9)}

Solutions of this polynomial are:

t_{1} \approx 0.43\,s,t_{2} \approx -1.14\,s

Only the first root is physically consistent.

David wants to rent a bicycle for a couple of hours to explore the city. The price of the bike rental, (P)(P)left parenthesis, P
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The hourly charge is $4 per hour for the first 3 hours.

The rate then drops to $2 per hour until the end of the 6th hour.  

The hourly rate drops further to $1 per hour between the 6th and 10th  hours.

The maximum price of the bike rental is $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the graph corresponds to the hourly rate for the bike rental.

During the first three hours of the bike rental, the price increases by $4 each hour.

Between the 3rd  and 6 th hours, the slope of the graph is 2, which means the hourly rate of the bike rental is $2 per hour.

Between the 6th and 10th hours, the rate is $1 per hour.

After the 10th  hour, the price, P, stops increasing. The maximum price of the bike rental is $30.

On babylonian tablet ybc 4652, a problem is given that translates to this equation: x (x/7) (1/11) (x (x/7)) = 60 what is the so
Yanka [14]
Thanks for posting your question here. The answer to the above problem is x = <span>48.125. Below is the solution:
</span>
 x+x/7+1/11(x+x/7)=60 
x = x/1 = x • 7/7
x <span>• 7 + x/ 7 = 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>x + x/7 + 1/11 <span>• 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>8x <span>• 11 + 8x/ 77 = 96x/ 77
</span>96x - 4620 = 12 <span>• (8x-385)
</span>8x - 385 = 0
x = 48.125
