Beth wants to plant a garden at the back of her house. She has 32m of fencing. The area that can be enclosed is modelled by the

function A(x) = -2x2 + 32x, where x is the width of the garden in metres and A(x) is the area in square metres. What is the maximum area that can be enclosed?

Answer:

The maximum area that can be obtained by the garden is 128 meters squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

A represents area and we want to know the maximum.

A(x)=-2x^2+32x is a parabola.  To find the maximum of a parabola, you need to find it's vertex.  The y-coordinate of the vertex will give us the maximum area.

To do this we will need to first find the x-coordinate of our vertex.

x=\frac{-b}{2a}{/tex] will give us the x-coordinate of the vertex.Compare [tex]-2x^2+32x to ax^2+bx+c then a=-2,b=32,c=0[tex].So the x-coordinate is [tex]\frac{-(32)}{2(-2)}=\frac{-32}{-4}=8.

To find the y that corresponds use the equation that relates y and x.

y=-2x^2+32x

y=-2(8)^2+32(8)

y=-2(64)+32(8)

y=-128+256

y=128

The maximum area that can be obtained by the garden is 128 meters squared.

Find the volume of the following solid figure. Use = 3.14. V = 4/3r3. A sphere has a radius of 3.5 inches. Volume (to the neares
Juli2301 [7.4K]
To solve the problem shown above, you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You must use tthe formula for calculate the volume of a sphere, which is:

 V=4πr³/3

 V is the volume of the sphere.
 r is the radius of the sphere (r=3.5 inches)

 2. When you susbstitute these values into the formula shown above, you obtain the volume of the sphere. Therefore, you have:

 V=4πr³/3
 V=4π(3.5 inches)³/3

 3. Therefore, the answer is:

 V=179.5 inches³
