A farmer with 5000 feet of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular field and then divide it into two plots by adding a fence in the middle parallel to one of the sides. Using the function A(x) , analytically find the WIDTH of the field that would maximize its area. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number)
Answer:
The required width of the field that would maximize the area is = 1250 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The total fencing length = 5000 ft
Let consider w to be the width and L to be the length.
Then; the perimeter of the rectangular field by assuming a parallel direction is:
P = 3L + 2w
⇒ 3L + 2w = 5000
3L = 5000 - 2w
[tex]L = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2w}{3}[/tex]
Recall that:
The area of the rectangle = L×w
[tex]A(w) = ( \dfrac{5000}{3}-\dfrac{2}{3} ) w[/tex]
[tex]A(w) = \dfrac{5000}{3}w-\dfrac{2}{3} w^2[/tex]
Taking the differentiation of both sides with respect to t; we have:
[tex]A' (w) = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2}{3} ( 2 w)[/tex]
[tex]A' (w) = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{4w}{3}[/tex]
Then; we set A'(w) to be equal to zero;
So; [tex]\dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{4w}{3}=0[/tex]
5000 = 4w
w = 5000/4
w = 1250
Thus; the required width of the field that would maximize the area is = 1250 feet
Also, the length [tex]L = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2w}{3}[/tex] can now be :
[tex]L = \dfrac{5000}{3} - \dfrac{2(1250)}{3}[/tex]
L = (5000 -2500)/3
L = 2500/3 feet
Suppose, the farmer divides the plot parallel to the width; Then 2500/3 feet = 833.33 feet and the length L = 1250 feet.

A train traveled from one city to another city in 4 hours at a speed of 70 mph.
The retum trip was made in 5 hours. Find the speed for the return trip.
Answer:
56miles/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Time taken for the to travel = 4hrs
Speed of the train = 70mph
From this data, let us find the distance of the trip;
Distance =Speed x time
Therefore, insert the parameters;
Distance = 70mph x 4hr = 280miles
Now;
Return trip took, 5hrs,
Speed = ?
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Insert the parameters and solve;
Speed = [tex]\frac{280}{5}[/tex] = 56miles/hr

Antonia participated in a run-a-thon and raised $265 for her school. She received $25 in donations and an additional $8 for every lap she ran. How many laps did Antonia run? Use a piece of paper to draw a tape diagram and show your work.
Answer:
30 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
Take 265 then subtract 25. you get 240. then divide that by 8. you get 30 so she ran 30 laps

Mr Thompson wants to cut a 5-ft rope into a 1/4-ft sections how many 1/4 sections will he have
Answer:
20 pieces of rope
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Thompson has a 5-ft rope. If he cuts the rope into 1/4-ft pieces, that means for every foot, there are 4 pieces of rope. There are 5-ft of rope, so we multiply 5 and 4 to get the number of pieces of rope.
5 x 4 = 20 pieces of rope.

Describe how the graph of y=2xy=2x is the SAME as the graph of y=2x-7y=2x−7.
Select all statements that are true.
They both have a slope of 2.
They cross the x-axis at the same point.
They are parallel to each other.
They have the same slope.
They are in the same location.
They cross the y-axis at the same point.
Answer:
-They both have a slope of 2.
-They are parallel to each other.
-They have the same slope.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 equations are;
y = 2x and y = 2x - 7
Now, from slope intercept equation,
y = mx + c
Where m is slope and c is the intercept on the y-axis
From the 2 equations y = 2x and y = 2x - 7, Comparing with y = mx + c, we can see they both have a slope of 2.
For 2 lines to have same slope, it means that they are parallel and have different y-intercepts.
They should cross the x-axis when y = 0.
But at x = 0,we have;
y = 2x = 0. And x = 0
Also,for y = 2x - 7 is y = 2x - 7 = 0
2x = 7 and x = 7/2.
Thus,they don't cross the x - axis at the same point
Looking at the options, we can see that there are 3 correct ones from what we've described above namely;
-They both have a slope of 2.
-They are parallel to each other.
-They have the same slope.
