Answer:   f(x)=\dfrac{2000x-x^2}{2}

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

Perimeter (P) is the total length of the fencing which covers 2 sides of one length and 1 side of another length (because the side along the river does not need fencing).  So, P = 2L+ x  where L is the length and x is the width.

P = 2000 and P = 2L + x   →   2000 = 2L + x

\text{Solve for L:}\\\\2000 = 2L + x\\\\2000-x=2L\\\\\dfrac{2000-x}{2}=L

Area (A) is length x width  →  A = L × x

\text{Use substitution to replace L with}\ \dfrac{2000-x}{2}\\\\A = f(x)=\bigg(\dfrac{2000-x}{2}\bigg)x\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad =\dfrac{2000x-x^2}{2}

Zina [86]
The 4 is in the thousands place and looking to the right of the 4 is a 5. The rule is less than 4 leave it the same; 5 or more add 1 to the number.

So the answer would be 65,000.
