First let's find out what would the sides of a square be.

7500 / 4 = 1875

Now we have 1875 as the sides and double at the top.

So 1875 * 3750 = 7031250 meters squared

<u>Answer:</u>

7,031,250 m^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that:

<em>Area of a rectangle = length x width</em>

Also, since the rectangular plot shares a border with a river so Farmer Ed only needs to fence rest of the three sides therefore, we can write it as:

F = x + 2y

7500 = x + 2y

Solving this equation for x, we get:

x = 7500 - 2y --- (i)

Now substitute this value of x in the Area of rectangle:

Area = (7500 - 2y) * y

Area = -2y^2 + 7500y --- (ii)

The coefficient of -2 means that the largest area will be at:

-7500 / [2 (-2) ] = 1875 so y = 1875

So substituting this value of y in the equation (i) we get:

x = 7500 - 2(1875)

x = 7,031,250 m^2

For the function h(x) =3x/(x+5)(x-4), solve the equation.​
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To 'solve' means to find the x values that make the equation equal zero, so

0 = (3x)/[(x + 5)(x - 4)  

Multiply both sides by the denominator to get rid of the fraction

0[(x + 5)(x - 4)] = [(3x)(x + 5)(x - 4)]/[(x + 5)(x - 4)]

0 = 3x  

 0 = x     (divide both sides by 3)

So x = 0 is the solution for this equation

BaLLatris [955]

Answers:

5. 296

6. 479

7. 801

8. 920

9. $281

Step-by-step explanation:

For 5-8, you add the 2 numbers. Line up the numbers by their place value.

For 9, it says she starts with $233. She worked for 6 hours today. She makes $8 for every hour. First, you have to find how much she made today. 6 hrs times $8 for every hr is $48. In total, she has $281 because we added the amount she starts with, and the amount she earned today.
