A beach has to enclose a rectangular area, because some endangered species are nesting there. They have 200 feet of rope to rope

off the area with. What is the maximum area that they can rope off?

Area is equal to length times width. The perimeter (the amount of rope) has to equal twice the length added to twice the width so we're left with:
A = l * w
200 = 2l + 2w
solve for either l or w
l = 100 - w
plug into the area equation to get one equation with two variables
A = w(100 - w)
A = -w^2 + 100w
take the derivative
A' = -2w + 100
set the derivative equal to zero
0 = -2w + 100
2w = 100
w = 50
This is the width that maximizes the area
with a width of 50, the length must also be 50 to have a perimeter of 200
therefore, they can rope up to 50 * 50 = 2500 ft^2

Select the correct answer. A linear function has a y-intercept of -12 and a slope of 3/2. What is the equation of the line? y =
aniked [119]

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

  • y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given

  • y-intercept b = -12
  • slope m = 3/2

now substituting b = -12 and m = 3/2 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-12\right)

y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

  • y\:=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-12

dusya [7]

Answer:

x^2+7x if you are asked to find the difference of a function f and function g

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to A-B or f(x)-g(x).

(4x^2+6x)-(3x^2-x)

4x^2+6x-3x^2+x

The like terms I'm going to pair up.

4x^2-3x^2+6x+x

1x^2          +7x

x^2            +7x

The answer is x^2+7x

Please help me with NUMBER 7 !! Thank you so much! 20 points!! :))
mart [117]

Answer:

x<-3 or x>-1

Step by step explanation:

Start with -5x>15. To get x by itself, we have to divide each side by -5. When we do that we get x<-3. (Don't forget to flip the sign when dealing with negative  · and ÷.) Now answer the second equation. x-5>-6 To get x by itself, add 5 to both sides to get x>-1. Now we have x<3 or x>-1.
