The City Council proposed to utilize a government-owned land with an area of 21,600 square meters. One-third of it will be used for a picnic area while the rest of the land will be planted by mango trees. As the city engineer, you were tasked to determine the dimensions of the picnic area with the minimum cost of fencing given that area is to be rectangular and to be fenced off on three sides not adjacent to the highway. a) Illustrate and represent the variables used b) Detailed Solution
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
