Answer:60,000 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

total of 1200 ft of fence is available

Suppose rectangular pasture has following dimension as shown in figure.

total perimeter

P=4a+3b

1200=4a+3b

4a=1200-3b

a=300-\frac{3}{4}b

Area of rectangle is

A=2a\times b

A=2(300-\frac{3}{4}b)b

A=2[300 b-\frac{3}{4}b^2]

For maximum area, differentiate A w.r.t b

\frac{\mathrm{d} A}{\mathrm{d} b}=300-\frac{3}{2}b=0

300=\frac{3}{2}b

b=200 ft

so a=300-150=150\ ft

so area is

A=2\times 150\times 200

A=60,000 ft^2

Solve for x using desmos or the quadratic formula 2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

x = 4 or x = (-3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^2 - 5 x - 12 = 0

x = (5 ± sqrt((-5)^2 - 4×2 (-12)))/(2×2) = (5 ± sqrt(25 + 96))/4 = (5 ± sqrt(121))/4:

x = (5 + sqrt(121))/4 or x = (5 - sqrt(121))/4

sqrt(121) = sqrt(11^2) = 11:

x = (5 + 11)/4 or x = (5 - 11)/4

(5 + 11)/4 = 16/4 = 4:

x = 4 or x = (5 - 11)/4

(5 - 11)/4 = -6/4 = -3/2:

Answer:  x = 4 or x = (-3)/2
