If the garden is to be 1250 square feet, and the fence along the driveway costs $6 per foot while on the other three sides it costs only $2 per foot, find the dimensions that will minimize the cost.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

So, the minimum cost is $400.

Area of the rectangle:

The area of a rectangle is the region occupied by a rectangle within its four sides or boundaries.

And the formula is,

A=l* b

Given that,

Area of the garden=1250 square feet.

Let, the length be x and the breadth be y then,

xy=1250...(1)

The total cost of the fence is,

C(x,y)=6x+2x+4y\nC(x,y)=8x+4y\nC(x)=8x+4((1250)/(x) )\n

Now, differentiating the obtained equation we get,

C'(x)=8-(4* 1250)/(x^2) =0\nx^2=625\nx=25\ny=50

Therefore the length is 25 ft

And breadth is 50ft

Now, calculating the minimum cost,

8(25)+4(50)=50\n=400

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

Dimensions of rectangular garden:

x = 25 feet   ( sides along the driveway)

y = 50 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular area is:

A(r)  = x*y           (1)

if we call x one the driveway side the cost of that side will be

6*x

The cost of the other side parallel to driveway side is 2*x and cost of the others two sides are 4*y

Total costs:  C = 6*x + 2*x  * 4*y     (2)

From equation (1)

A(r)  = 1250 = x*y      ⇒⇒   y = 1250/ x

Plugging that value in equation (2) we get costs as a function of x

that is:

C(x) = 6*x + 2*x +  4* 1250/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

C´(x)  = 6 + 2 - 5000/x²

C´(x)  = 8 - 5000 /x²

C´(x) = 0       ⇒       8 - 5000 /x² = 0

8*x² -5000 = 0

x² = 5000/8

x² = 625

x = 25 feet

and    y = 1250/ 25

y = 50 ft

C(min) = 50*2*2 + 6*25 + 2*25

C(min) = 200 + 200

C(min) = 400 $

Answers

Answer:

y = x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b (m = slope; b = y-intercept)

I used 2 points (-2 , 2) and (1 , 5) to calculate the slope of the line

m= (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

(5-2)/(1--2) = 3/3= 1

y = 1x + b

using point (1, 5)

5 = 1(1) + b

5 = 1 + b

b = 5-1

b=4

y= 1x + 4 or simply y= x + 4

A y = x + 4

A bag contains 4 red marbles, 1 green one, 1 lavender one, 3 yellows, and 2 orange marbles. HINT [See Example 7.] How many sets of five marbles include at most one of the yellow ones?

Answers

Answer:

266

Step-by-step explanation:

Red marbles = 4

Green marbles = 1

Lavender marbles = 1

Yellow marbles = 3

Orange marbles = 2

To pick 5 marbles with at most 1 yellow, we can pick 5 non-yellow marbles or (4 non-yellow marble and 1 yellow marble).

Picking 5 non-yellow marbles

There are 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 8 non-yellow marbles.

The number of ways of picking any 5 is

n_1 = \dbinom{8}{5} = 56

Picking 4 non-yellow marble and 1 yellow marble

The number of ways of picking any 4 non-yellow marbles is

n_2 = \dbinom{8}{4} = 70

The number of ways of picking any 1 yellow marble from 3 is

n_3 = \dbinom{3}{1} = 3

Number of ways for both = 70*3=210

Total number of picking 5 marbles with at most 1 yellow

Therefore, total number of ways = 56 + 210 = 266

Using a ruler, you measure the length of a rectangle to be 12.75 cm and the width to be 3.64 cm. Calculate the area of this rectangle (show work), reporting your answer to the correct number of significant figures.

What is a quadrilateral?

quadrilateral is a plane mathematical closed figure consist of four side and four edges. There are 7 types of quadrilateral.

Trapezium, Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus, Square, Kite.

Here, it is given that :

the lengthl of a rectangle is = 12.75 cm

the breadthb of a rectangle is = 3.64 cm

Now, let us calculate the area of this rectangle using area formula :

area of rectangle  A = length x breadth

                              A = 12.75 x 3.64

                              A = 46.41 cm²

Therefore, the area of rectangle with length 12.75 cm and the width 3.64 cm with 4 significant figures is 46.41 cm².
