A farmer is building a fence to enclose a rectangular area consisting of two separate regions. The four walls and one additional vertical segment (to separate the regions) are made up of fencing, as shown below.

If the farmer has 234 feet of fencing, what are the dimensions of the region which enclose the maximal area?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  58.5 ft by 39 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the two horizontal segments. Then the three vertical segments will be ...

  (234 -2x)/3

The total enclosed area is the product of these dimensions:

  A = (x)(234 -2x)/3

  A = (2/3)(x)(117 -x)

This is the equation of a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=117. The maximum of the parabola will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between these zeros. The value of x there is ...

  x = (0 +117)/2 = 58.5

The lengths of the vertical segments are ...

  (2/3)(117 -58.5) = 2/3(58.5) = 39

The dimensions of the region enclosing the maximum area are 58.5 ft by 39 ft. The additional vertical segment is 39 ft.

Comment on maximum area problems

You may have noticed that the total length of the fence allocated to the long sides (2×58.5 = 117) is half the total length of fence and is equal to the total length of fence allocated to the short sides (3×39 = 117).

This relationship is true in all rectangular fencing problems where the area is being maximized for a given total fence length. It doesn't matter how many partitions there are in either direction: the total of horizontal lengths is equal to the total of vertical lengths.

if sinθ = A, find cos(π/2-θ)

(using trigonometric identities to fine the value)

Answers

Answer:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Sin(θ) = A

And we want to find the value of Cos(π/2 - θ)

Here we can use the cosine relationship:

Cos(a - b) = Cos(a)*Cos(b) + Sin(A)*Sin(B)

Then:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = Cos(π/2)*Cos(θ ) + Sin(π/2)*Sin(θ)

We know that:

Cos(π/2) = 0

Sin(π/2) = 1

Then:

Cos(π/2 - θ) = Cos(π/2)*Cos(θ ) + Sin(π/2)*Sin(θ) = 0*Cos(θ ) + 1*Sin(θ)

                    = 1*Sin(θ) = A

Cos(π/2 - θ) = A

A physical examination was used to screen for breast cancer in 7600 women with biopsy proven adenocarcinoma of the breast and in 11,000 age and race matched control women. The results of the physical examination were positive (i.e. a mass was palpated) in 5,500 cases and 1,700 control women (who showed no evidence of cancer at biopsy). The total population is 18,600. The sensitivity of the physical examination was:______.

Answers

Answer:

72.37%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for what The sensitivity of the physical examination was

Using this formula

Sensitivity=Positive physical examination cases/Physical examination screening for breast cancer

Let plug in the formula

Sensitivity=5,500 cases / 7600 women

Sensitivity=0.7237*100

Sensitivity=72.37%

Therefore The sensitivity of the physical examination was 72.37%

A scientist studied the replication of bacteria in a lab environment. This table gives the bacteria count for the first 12 hours. The table can be modeled using an exponential function.

Hours 2 4 6 8 10 12
Bacteria count 1,240 5,100 20,990 86,520 365,520 1,469,170

What function best represents the data?

y=300+4x
y=1240⋅2.03x
y=4x
y=300⋅2.03x

Answers

Answer: y=300⋅2.03x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

D.) y = 300 ⋅ 2.03x

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the plug-in method, you use "Hours" as the X in this question.

If you plug in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 to y = 300 ⋅ 2.03x, you will get the closest answers to "Bateria Count"

1,236.27 = 300 ⋅ 2.03^2
5,094.54= 300 ⋅ 2.03^4
2,0994.11 = 300 ⋅ 2.03^6
86,514.63 = 300 ⋅ 2.03^8
and so on- all are the closest to the chart.

Hope this helped! :)

Find the surface area and volume of the prism​

Answers

Answer:

I only know the first one.

The surface area of the prism is 900 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the surface area, we need to find the area of the SURFACE not the inside of the cube. Lets do the rectangles first.

28 x 13 = 364

28 x 5 = 140

28 x 12 = 336

   1 1

   336

+  140

   364

-------------

  8 4 0

Now lets do the triangles.

Remember! To find the area of a triangle, you have to do Base x Height x 1/2 because it's half a rectangle.

(The triangles have the same area)

12 x 5 x 1/2 = 30

12 x 5 x 1/2 = 30

  30

+ 30

--------

 60

The last step is to add the areas of the triangles and the rectangles.

   1

   840

+    60

------------

   900 cm2

The answer is 900cm2

This Is not copy pasted, I actually put in all this effort.

3. [tex]\tan(\frac{x}{2}) + \cos x \tan(\frac{x}{2}) = \sin x[/tex]

Answers

Seems like there is a correction in the first question (RHS is tanx.tany)

(i) For convenience: let tanx = a ; tany = b

Thus, tanx + tany = a + b

Moreover, cotx = 1/tanx = 1/a ; coty = 1/b

Thus,

cotx + coty = 1/a + 1/b = (a + b)/ab

Hence,

=> (tanx + tany)/(cotx + coty)

=> (a + b) / { (a + b)/ab }

=> ab(a + b)/(a + b)

=> ab => tanx.tany , proved.

(ii) For convenience: let sinx = a ; cosx = b

As we know, sin²x + cos²x = 1 => a²+b²=1

=> (a³ + b³)/(a + b)

=> (a + b)(a² + b² - ab) / (a + b)

=> (a² + b² - ab)

=> 1 - ab => 1 - sinx.cosx , proved

(iii): let x/2 = A

=> tan(x/2) + cosx.tan(x/2)

=> tanA + cos2A.tanA

=> tanA [1 + cos2A]

=> tanA (2cos²A) {1+cos2A = 2cos²A}

=> (sinA/cosA) (2cos²A)

=> sinA (2cosA)

=> 2sinAcosA

=> sin2A

=> sin2(x/2)

=> sinx proved

Letting x/2 = A is not mandatory. I did it to decease words*(in a line).

Indentities used:

• sin²A + cos²A = 1

• (a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² + b² - 1)

• 1 + cosA = 2 cos²(A/2)

• tanA = sinA/cosA.

• 2sinAcosA = sin2A

Answers

Answer:

$3792.69

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we would find the area,

Area = width x length

Area = 9 x 11

Area = 99[tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Since each square meter costs $38.31, we would multiply the cost with the area,

Total Cost = 99 x 38.31

Total Cost = $3792.69
