Answer:

  68 feet square

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle with the maximum area for a given perimeter is a square. The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length, so the side length of the square area will be ...

  (272 ft)/4 = 68 ft

_____

<em>More formally ...</em>

You can let x represent the length of one side. Then the length of the other side for the given perimeter will be 136 -x, and the area will be the product ...

  area = x(136 -x)

The area function is a quadratic with zeros at x=0 and x=136. The vertex (maximum area) will be at the value of x that is on the line of symmetry between these points, at their midpoint: x = (0 +136)/2 = 68. This value of x makes the rectangle a square.

Which functions domain consists of all real numbers except -2?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

option (a) f(x)= 1/x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) f(x) = 1/ x+2

To find the restriction for domain , we set the denominator =0  and solve for x

x+2 =0, so x=-2

When x=-2  then denominator becomes 0 that is undefined.

So, domain is all real numbers except -2

(b) f(x)= 2x

In this function, there is no denominator or square root or log function

so there is no restriction for x, hence domain is all real numbers

(c) f(x) = 2x-2

In this function, there is no denominator or square root or log function

so there is no restriction for x, hence domain is all real numbers

f(x) = 1/ sqrt(x+2)

if we have square root in the denominator then we set the denominator >0 and solve for x. because square root of negative values are undefined

x+2>0, x>-2

Hence domain is all real numbers that are greater than -2
