The area is c 38.3 units 2
Answer:
2x
Step-by-step explanation:
two times x is 2x
when multiplying anything
it is 1x*2
which is 2*1=2
2*x
2x
Answer:
25x+10=47.50
Step-by-step explanation:
x represents the ticket amount and if he buys 25 tickets then that will be 25 times x. Plus the $10 entrance fee.
Answer:
- north and south sides are 38 8/9 ft long
- east and west sides are 17.5 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Short answer</u>: area is maximized when half the cost is spent in each of the orthogonal directions. This means the east and west sides will total $350 at $20 per foot, so will be 17.5 feet. The north and south sides will total $350 at $9 per foot, so will be 38 8/9 feet.
The dimensions that maximize the area are 17.5 ft in the north-south direction by 38 8/9 ft in the east-west direction.

<u>Long answer</u>: If x represents the length of the north and south sides, and y represents the length of the east and west sides, then the total cost is ...
10y +10y +2x +7x = 700
9x +20y = 700
y = (700 -9x)/20
We want to maximize the area:
A = xy = x(700 -9x)/20
We can do this by differentiating and setting the derivative to zero:
dA/dx = 700/20 -9x/10 = 0
350 -9x = 0 . . . . multiply by 10
x = 350/9 = 38 8/9
y = (700 -9(350/9))/20 = 350/20 = 17.5
The north and south sides are 38 8/9 ft long; the east and west sides are 17.5 ft long to maximize the area for the given cost.
