Answer:
20 ft by 60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
"What should the dimensions of the garden be to maximize this area?"
If y is the length of the garden, parallel to the stream, and x is the width of the garden, then the amount of fencing is:
120 = 3x + y
And the area is:
A = xy
Use substitution:
A = x (120 − 3x)
A = -3x² + 120x
This is a downward facing parabola. The maximum is at the vertex, which we can find using x = -b/(2a).
x = -120 / (2 · -3)
x = 20
When x = 20, y = 60. So the garden should be 20 ft by 60 ft.
Answer:
6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2.5,6.1)(-2.5,3.1).....notice how ur x values are the same. This means that u have a vertical line which has an undefined slope.
IF ur y values would have been the same, u would have had a horizontal line which has a 0 slope.
In grade 7, 10/18 students are members of the band.
In grade 8, 10/12 students are members of the band.
Because 10/12>10/18, the answer is B
2 1/2
65/26
26*2=52
65-52=13
13/26 = 1/2
