A farmer wants to fence a rectangular area adjacent to a straight river with an extra partition running perpendicular to the river. If he has 3000 yards of fencing and no fencing is needed alone the river, then what is the maximum area he can enclose

the maximum area enclosed = 1125000sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".

Then the side parallel to the river is "3000-2x".

Now, area of the rectangle

A(x) = (3000-2x)x

A(x) = -2x^2+3000x

Which is a quadratic equation with a = -2 and b = 3000

Maximum area occurs where x = -b/2a

x = -3000/(-2×2) = 750 ft.

Therefore, width of rectangle x = 750 ft

Now, length = 3000-2(750) = 1500 ft.

Therefore, the maximum area enclosed = 1500×750 =  1125000 sq. ft.

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
