Assume that
 a and b = the two legs of the right triangle. 
 c =  the hypotenuse.

The area of the right triangle is 750 yd², therefore
(1/2)*a*b = 750
ab = 1500               (1)

The perimeter is 150yd, therefore
a + b + c = 150         (2)

Let the side fenced with wood be a, at $5/yd.  Sides b and c are fenced with steel at $10/y. The total cost is $1200, therefore
 5a + 10b + 10c = 1200            
or
a + 2b + 2c = 240         (3)

From (2), obtain 
c = 150 - a - b              (4)

Substitute (4) into (3)
a + 2b + 2(150 - a - b) = 240
-a + 300 = 240
a = 60

From (1), obtain
60b = 1500
b = 25

From (4), obtain
c = 150 - 60 - 25 = 65

Answer:
A. The length of the leg fenced with wood is 60 yd.
B.  The length of the leg fenced with steel is 25 yd.

Which of the following is true for the relation f(x) = x2 + 8? Only the inverse is a function. Both the equation and its inverse
Alchen [17]

<u>ANSWER</u>

Only the equation is a function

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

f(x)=x^2+8 is graphed above with its inverse f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x-8}.


We perform the vertical line test for both the equation and its inverse.


The equation f(x)=x^2+8 passed the vertical line hence it is a function.

However, f^{-1}(x)=\pm \sqrt{x-8} failed the vertical line test, hence it is not a function.
