A homeowner has 32 feet of fencing to build three sides of a rectangular chicken coup. One side of the chicken coup will be against the barn, so the 32 feet of fence will only be used for three sides.
What are the ideal length and width of the chicken coup that would maximize its area?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The ideal length is 16 feet

The ideal width is 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the fencing available to the homeowner = 32 feet

The number of sides of the rectangular chicken coup the fence will be applied = 3 sides

Let L represent the length and W, represent the width

Therefore, we have;

The perimeter of the fence = 2W + L = 32 feet

L = 32 - 2·W

The area is given by, A = Length, L × Width, W

A =   (32 - 2·W) × W = 32·W - 2·W²

Differentiating with respect to W and equating to 0 to find the maximum point gives;

dA/dW = d(32·W - 2·W²)/dW = 0

32 - 4·W = 0

4·W = 32

W = 32/4 = 8

W = 8 feet

Given that the sign of the variable in the equation of the derivative is negative, the value we get is the maximum point

The ideal width W = 8 feet

The length, L = 32 - 2·W = 32 - 2 × 8 = 16 feet

Therefore, the ideal length, L = 16 feet.

A distrubutor wants to make 1,000 pounds of trail mix that is 8% raisins. He will use a mix that is 5% raisins and a mix that is 20% raisins. How many pounds of each should he use?

Answers

Answer:

He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Let's call

x = pounds of trail mix 5% raisins

y = pounds of trail mix 20% raisins

The distributor wants to make 1,000 pounds of trail mix, thus:

x + y = 1,000     [1]

The mix must be 8% raisings as a combination of x and y, thus:

5x + 20y = 8*1,000 = 8,000

Dividing by 5:

x + 4y = 1,600     [2]

Subtracting [2] and [1]:

4y - y = 1,600 - 1,000

Operating:

3y = 600

y = 200

From [1]

x = 1,000 - y = 1,000 - 200

x = 800

He should use 800 pounds of trail mix 5% raisins and 200 pounds of trail mix 20% raisins

Answer:

5% raisin mix: 800 lbs

20% raisin mix: 200 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of 5% be x; and number of 20% be a.

x + y = 1000

5% · x + 20% · y = 8% of 1000 pounds

0.05x + 0.2y = 80

x = 1000 - y

0.05(1000 - y) + 0.2y = 80

50 - 0.05y + 0.2y = 80

0.15y = 30

y = 200

x = 1000 - y

x = 1000 - 200

x = 800

2. If a transversal is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other line.





answer choices:

A) It does not need to be included. By leaving it out of the statement, the reader considers three dimensions not just the xy-plane. The two parallel lines would determine a plane. However, the transversal could intersect only one of the lines. This would allow the proof to use the Corresponding Angles Theorem.

C) It needs to be included as it forces the reader to consider only two dimensions, like the xy-plane. The two parallel lines would determine the plane and the transversal would intersect both lines. This would allow the proof to use the Corresponding Angles Theorem.

A 12.5% B 27.1% C 40.3% D 44.6%

Answers

Answer:

The probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football is 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

                         Boys        Girls       Total

Basketball          10             8             18

 Football           25             7             32

  Soccer             9             19             28

 Baseball           18            22            40

   Total               62           56            118

Compute the probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football as follows:

[tex]P(F|G)=\frac{n(G\cap F)}{n(G)}[/tex]

            [tex]=\frac{7}{56}\\\\=0.125\\\\=12.5\%[/tex]

Thus, the probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football is 12.5%.
