Suppose you have 54 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular dog pen. the function a = 27x – x2 , where x = width, gives you the

area of the dog pen in square feet. what width gives you the maximum area? what is the maximum area? round to the nearest tenth as necessary.

We are given function for area $A = 27x-x^2$ .

where x = width, gives you the area of the dog pen in square feet.

We need to find the width that gives the maximum area.

And maximum area of the rectangular dog pen.

The given function is a quadratic function.

And a quadratic function represents a parabolic shape on the graph.

<em>The highest point of the parabola is the vertex of the parabola.</em>

<em>So, we need to find the vertex of the parabola for the given function.</em>

A = 27x-x^2.

Formula for x-coordinate of the vertex is = -b/2a.

Plugging values of a and b in formula, we get

-27/ 2(-1) = -27/-2 = 13.5

Therefore, 13.5 feet width would give maximum area.

Let us find the maximum area now.

Plugging x=13.5 in given function, we get

$F(13.5) = 27(13.5) - (13.5)^2$

=364.5 - 182.25

= 182.25 square feet ≈ 182.3

<h3>Therefore, 13.5 feet width gives you the maximum area and 182.3 square feet is the maximum area.</h3>

Solve 11x+10y=32..... Will mark the brainliest!

erica [24]

The equation 11x + 10y = 32 is a linear equation, and the solution to the linear equation 11x + 10y = 32 is $y = \frac{32 - 11x}{10}$

<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

11x + 10y = 32

Subtract 11x from both sides

10y = 32 - 11x

Divide both sides by 10

$y = \frac{32 - 11x}{10}$

Hence, the solution to the linear equation 11x + 10y = 32 is $y = \frac{32 - 11x}{10}$

A teacher places n seats to form the back row of a classroom layout. Each successive row contains two fewer seats than the prece

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The number of seat when n is odd $S_n=\frac{n^2+2n+1}{4}$

The number of seat when n is even $S_n=\frac{n^2+2n}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, each successive row contains two fewer seats than the preceding row.

Formula:

The sum n terms of an A.P series is

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

$=\frac{n}{2}[a+l]$

a = first term of the series.

d= common difference.

n= number of term

l= last term

$n^{th}$ term of a A.P series is

$T_n=a+(n-1)d$

n is odd:

n,n-2,n-4,........,5,3,1

Or we can write 1,3,5,.....,n-4,n-2,n

Here a= 1 and d = second term- first term = 3-1=2

Let $t^{th}$ of the series is n.

$T_n=a+(n-1)d$

Here $T_n=n$ , n=t, a=1 and d=2

$n=1+(t-1)2$

⇒(t-1)2=n-1

$\Rightarrow t-1=\frac{n-1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-1}{2}+1$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-1+2}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n+1}{2}$

Last term l= n,, the number of term $=\frac{ n+1}2$ , First term = 1

Total number of seat

$S_n=\frac{\frac{n+1}{2}}{2}[1+n}]$

$=\frac{{n+1}}{4}[1+n}]$

$=\frac{(1+n)^2}{4}$

$=\frac{n^2+2n+1}{4}$

n is even:

n,n-2,n-4,.......,4,2

Or we can write

2,4,.......,n-4,n-2,n

Here a= 2 and d = second term- first term = 4-2=2

Let $t^{th}$ of the series is n.

$T_n=a+(n-1)d$

Here $T_n=n$ , n=t, a=2 and d=2

$n=2+(t-1)2$

⇒(t-1)2=n-2

$\Rightarrow t-1=\frac{n-2}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-2}{2}+1$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n-2+2}{2}$

$\Rightarrow t = \frac{n}{2}$

Last term l= n, the number of term $=\frac n2$ , First term = 2

Total number of seat

$S_n=\frac{\frac{n}{2}}{2}[2+n}]$

$=\frac{{n}}{4}[2+n}]$

$=\frac{n(2+n)}{4}$

$=\frac{n^2+2n}{4}$

(x -1) = 26 = -4x <br> A. -7 5/7<br> B. 8<br> C. -7<br> D. -5

Volgvan

Based on the answer choices, we suspect you intend
.. (x -1) +26 = -4x

This simplifies to
.. x +25 = -4x
.. 25 = -5x . . . . . subtract x
.. -5 = x . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Selection D appears to be appropriate for the question we think you asked.
