A farmer has 520 feet of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one s

Setler [38]

Answer:

$310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A farmer has $520 \text{ feet}$ of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one side of the pen. The length of the barn is $310 \text{ feet}$ .

TO FIND: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area that can be enclosed under these conditions.

SOLUTION:

Let the length of rectangle be $x$ and $y$

perimeter of rectangular pen $=2(x+y)=520\text{ feet}$

$x+y=260$

$y=260-x$

area of rectangular pen $=\text{length}\times\text{width}$

$=xy$

putting value of $y$

$=x(260-x)$

$=260x-x^2$

to maximize $\frac{d \text{(area)}}{dx}=0$

$260-2x=0$

$x=130\text{ feet}$

$y=390\text{ feet}$

but the dimensions must be lesser or equal to than that of barn.

therefore maximum length rectangular pen $=310\text{ feet}$

width of rectangular pen $=210\text{ feet}$

Maximum area of rectangular pen $=310\times210=65100\text{ feet}^2$

Hence maximum area of rectangular pen is $65100\text{ feet}^2$ and dimensions are $310\text{ feet and }210\text{ feet}$

A cubed-shaped box has its side lengths decreased by 3 cm, when this happens, the volume decreases by 1385cm^3. What is the side

mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let side of cube=x cm

volume=x³ cm³

again side=(x-3) cm

volume=(x-3)³ cm³

x³-(x-3)³=1385

(a³-b³)=(a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

(x-x+3){x²+x(x-3)+(x-3)²}=1385

3(x^2+x²-3x+x²-6x+9)=1385

3(3x²-9x+9)=1385

9x²-27x+27=1385

9x²-27x+27-1385=0

9x²-27x-1358=0

$x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{(-27)^2-4*9*(-1358)} }{2*9} \\x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{729+48888} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{49617} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm 222.749}{18} \\taking positive side only as negative sign gives negative length.\\or~x=\frac{27+222.749}{18} \\or~x\approx13.87$
