The maximum area is the area that uses half the fence (150 ft) for the side parallel to the barn and the other half for the ends of the pen (75 ft each). That area is 11,250 ft^2.
You use the order of operations. So in you start with multiplication. 8*7= 56. Then that would leave 56-4. 56-4 is 52.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A square root can't be simplified any further if there are no 2 identical factors remaining and every term under the radical symbol is a prime number
2 consecutive odd integers.....x and x + 2.....the product means multiply....the sum means add.
x(x + 2) = 4(x + x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 4(2x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 8 - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 7
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0
x - 7 = 0 x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x = 7
x + 1 = 0 x + 2 = -1 + 2 = 1
x = -1
there can be 2 answers for this....
(1) 7 and 9
(2) -1 and 1
