Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound
chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds
Terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56

p = represents the pounds jelly beans.
c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops

p + c  = 2.1
0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56

c = 2.1 - p  ; number of pounds of chocolate drops

0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56
0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41
0.31p = 0.15
p = 0.15/0.31
p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans

c = 2.1 - 0.48
c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.

Julie will build a rectangular pen for her dog against a barn. A wall from the barn will form one side of the pen. She has 32 m
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<h3> The width (side perpedicular to the barn):  <u>x = 8 m</u></h3><h3>      The lenght (side parallel to the barn):  <u>y = 16 m</u> </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

x  - the width of the barn

She has 32 m of fencing so for the lenght remain (32-2x) m of fencing:

y = 32 - 2x

Area of the fencing:  A = x•y

A(x) = x•(32 - 2x)

A(x) = -2x² + 32x             ←  quadratic function

The maximum value of quadratic function occurs at:  x=-\frac b{2a}

a = -2,  b = 32

x=-\frac b{2a}=-\frac{32}{2\cdot(-2)}=-(-8)=8

32-2x = 32 - 2•8 = 16
