Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".Then the side parallel to the river is "400-2x".
The formula for Area = width*length
A(x) = x(400-2x)
A(x) = 400x - 2x^2
You have a quadratic with a = -2 and b = 400
Maximum Area occurs where x = -b/2a = -400/(2*-2) = 100 ft. (width)
length = 400-2x = 400-2*100 =  200 ft (length)

vodka [1.7K]

\sqrt{5x} + √6 = √9


The first step is to get \sqrt{5x} by itself. We can do this by subtracting \sqrt{6} from each side, and simplifying \sqrt{9}


\sqrt{5x} = 3 - \sqrt{6}


Now we square both sides


5x = (3 - \sqrt{6})²


Using the formula (a - b)² = a² -2ab + b², (3 - \sqrt{6})² = 15 - 6\sqrt{6}


5x = 15 - 6\sqrt{6}


x = \frac{15 - 6\sqrt{6}}{5}

What's the difference between using f(2) and f(x)=2?
BabaBlast [244]
F(2) means that you are plugging in 2 for x, while f(x)=2 means that the equation equals 2 (y=2) at a certain x value.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

A) D + Q = 50

B) .10D + .25Q = 7.10

We multiply A) by -.10

A) -.10D - .10Q = -5 then adding this to B)

B) .10D + .25Q = 7.10

.15Q = 2.10

Quarters = 14 = 3.50

Dimes = 36 = 3.60
