A rectangular field on a farm is to be fenced in using the wall of the barn for one side and 200 meters of fencing for the other

three sides. The area A(x) in square meters of the field is a function of the length x in meters of each of the sides perpendicular to the barn wall

Answer:

Rectangular area as a function of x :   A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

A(max) = 5000 m²

Dimensions:

x = 50 m

l  = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

"x" is the length of the perpendicular side to the wall of the rectangular area to be fenced, and we call "l" the other side (parallel to the wall of the barn) then:

A(r) = x* l     and the perimeter of the rectangular shape is

P = 2*x + 2*l   but we won´t use any fencing material along the wll of the barn therefore

P  =  2*x + l       ⇒   200 = 2*x  + l      ⇒   l  = 200 - 2*x      (1)

And the rectangular area as a function of x is:

A(x)  = x * ( 200 - 2*x)  ⇒  A(x)  = 200*x  + 2*x²

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

A´(x)  =  200 - 4*x     ⇒   A´= 0

Then    200 - 4*x  = 0     ⇒   4*x =  200   ⇒  x  = 50 m

We find the l value, plugging the value of x in equation (1)

l  = 200 - 2*x     ⇒ l = 200 - 2*50   ⇒  l = 100  m

A(max)  =  100*50

A(max)  = 5000 m²

What is 250/100 as a whole number?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Unless im being completely braindead right now there isn't a whole number that works with this. When simplified its 5/2 or 2.5 but because it isn't an actual whole number (like 2, 4 and 6) they don't count.

If radius of circle is 7cm. find its diameter with formula.<br>​
Margarita [4]
The answer would be 14 cm.

The formula to find diameter is d=2r
D= diameter
R= radius
The 2 is there because you have half of the diameter so just times by 2 to get the diameter.
