A farmer has 1,200 feet of fencing and wants to fence off a rectangular field that borders a straight river. He needs no fence a

long the river. Write the function that will produce the largest area if x is the short side of the rectangle.
f(x) = 1200x − x2
My answer choice. Is this correct? ->f(x) = −2x2 + 1200x
f(x) = x2 − 1200
f(x) = 2x2 − 1200

You are correct.  It would be
f(x) = x(1200-2x) which equates to your selection.

Yay, derivitives
I'mma ignore that x is the shorter side because I don't know which one has to be shorter yet


we need to find the max area
but with 3 sides

area=LW
let's say the sides are z and y
zy=area

and the relatiionship between them is
hmm,
z+2y=1200
because one side has no fencing
so
z+2y=1200
solve for z
z=1200-2y
sub for z in other

(1200-2y)(y)=area
expand
1200y-2y²=area
take derivitive
1200-4y=dy/dx area
max is where dy/dx goes from positive to negative
solve for where dy/dx=0
1200-4y=0
1200=4y
300=y

at y<300, dy/dx<0
at y>300, dy/dx>0
so at y=300, that is the max

then
z=1200-2y
z=1200-2(300)
z=1200-600
z=600

so then
z=600
y=300
300<600

so the shorter side would be y

so then we see our choices and noticed that
erm
I think it is f(x)=1200x-2x²
takind the derivitive yeilds none of the others


so ya, you are right

This recipe makes 20 cupcakes. Deepak only wants to make 15 cupcakes. How much of each ingredient does he need? Recipe: Makes 20
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

9.6 ounces of butter, 8 ounces of sugar, 12 ounces of flour, 4 eggs

Explanation: 20 / 16 = 4/5. 16 is four-fifths of 20. So multiply 4/5 with everything.

12 * 4/5 = 9.6 ounces

10 * 4/5 = 8 ounces

15 * 4/5 =  12 ounces

5 * 4/5 = 4 eggs

NemiM [27]

Answer:

5+3 is Amy, so Amy is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

So, lets say amy is a

and gabriella is g

WE know that g=5, because gabriella is 5 years old

And, Gabriells is younger than Amy, so we need to add to get Amy's age

So, 5 ( Gabriella's age ) + 3=Amy

So, 5+3= Amy

So Amy is 8
