Answer:

390 m (perpendicular to river) x 780 m (parallel to river)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the length of the side parallel to the river, and let x be the length of the sides perpendicular to the river.

The total area and length of fence required are given by:

A=304,200=xy\\y=\frac{304,200}{x} \\L=2x+y

Rewriting the length of fence as a function of only x:

L=2x+\frac{304,200}{x}

The value of x for which the derivate of L(x) is zero is the length of x that uses the least amount of fencing:

L=2x+\frac{304,200}{x}\\\frac{dL}{dx}=2- \frac{304,200}{x^2}=0\\x^2=152,100\\x=390

If x = 390 m, then:

y=\frac{304,200}{390}\\y=780

The dimensions that will use the least amount of fencing are 390 m x 780 m

What Is 2(2x-5)=3x+x-2x ?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 (2 x - 5) = 3 x + x - 2 x

3 x + x - 2 x = 2 x:

2 (2 x - 5) = 2 x

Divide both sides by 2:

2 x - 5 = x

Subtract x from both sides:

(2 x - x) - 5 = x - x

2 x - x = x:

x - 5 = x - x

x - x = 0:

x - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

x + (5 - 5) = 5

5 - 5 = 0:

Answer: x = 5

Hey:) can you please help me posted picture of question

Answer:
x² + 10x + 25

Explanation:
Before we begin, remember the following:
(a + b)(a + b) = (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

Now, for the given we have:
(x + 5)(x + 5)
We can note that the two brackets are identical.
Therefore, we can apply the above rule as follows:
(x + 5)(x + 5) = (x + 5)²
                     = (x)² + 2(x)(5) + (5)²
                     = x² + 10x + 25

Hope this helps :)
