Answer:

A(w)=50w-w^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the width of rectangular pen.

We have been given that a framer has 100 m of fencing to enclose a rectangular pen. This means that perimeter of pen is 100 meter.

Since the perimeter is 2 times the length and width of rectangle.

\text{Perimeter of rectangle}=2\text{ (Width+Length})

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

100=2(w\text{+Length})

\frac{100}{2}=\frac{2(w\text{+Length})}{2}

50=w\text{+Length}

50-w=w-w\text{+Length}

50-w=\text{Length}

\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Width*Length}

Upon substituting our given values in area formula we will get,

\text{Area of rectangle}=w(50-w)

\text{Area of rectangle}=50w-w^2

Let us represent area in terms of width of rectangle as:

A(w)=50w-w^2

Therefore, the area of our given pen will be A(w)=50w-w^2.

A(w)=50w-w2 if the perimeter is 100, I plugged in possible values for the width...I used w=15 and length = 35 for a perimeter of 100. then I plugged these values in the possible equations until I found the correct one giving me an area of 525 (15x35) . I could not think of an easier way.

Answer:

w = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

–9 = –3(w − 5)

-3(w - 5) = -9

w - 5 = 3

w = 5 + 3

w = 8

Gretchen is rolling a number cube. What is the probability of rolling a 1 followed by a 2 or a 3
stira [4]

Answer:

1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6 because there are 6 numbers. You multiply that probability by the probability of getting a 2 or 3 which is 2/6 or 1/3 to get 1/18.
