Y or f(x) = -2x+5
the slope goes with the variable (x) and when the value of x is entered it makes a line, and the y-intercept is next to show where the point is on the y - line
Y=a(x-1)^2 -17 is the equation of the parabola.
at (0,16), 16=a(0-1)^2 -17. Solve for a = 33.
Equation is then y=33(x-1)^2-17 so when y=0,
(x-1)^2 = 17/33
x-1 = + and - square root of 17/33
x = 1.7177 and 0,2823 as the intercepts
The length and width that will maximize the area are 175 ft and 87.5 ft respectively
The largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²
<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>
where
l = length
w = width
The fencing is 350 ft it is use to enclose a rectangular plot with a river occupying one part.
Therefore,
perimeter = l + 2w
350 = l + 2w
l = 350 - 2w
area = (350 - 2w)w
(350 - 2w)w = 0
where
w = 0 or 175
average = 175/2 = 87.5
Hence, the max area is at w = 87.5 ft
Therefore,
l = 350 - 2(87.5) = 175 ft
length = 175 ft
width = 87.5 ft
Therefore,
area = 175 × 87.5 = 15312.5 ft²
Therefore, the largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²
