Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is

Using the point (-2, 0) to substitute into point-slope form, we get the equation to be 
Answer:
![[p-|p|*10^{-3} \, , \, p+|p|* 10^-3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bp-%7Cp%7C%2A10%5E%7B-3%7D%20%5C%2C%20%2C%20%5C%2C%20p%2B%7Cp%7C%2A%2010%5E-3%5D)
Step-by-step explanation
The relative error is the absolute error divided by the absolute value of p. for an approximation p*, the relative error is
r = |p*-p|/|p|
we want r to be at most 10⁻³, thus
|p*-p|/|p| ≤ 10⁻³
|p*-p| ≤ |p|* 10⁻³
therefore, p*-p should lie in the interval [ - |p| * 10⁻³ , |p| * 10⁻³ ], and as a consecuence, p* should be in the interval [p - |p| * 10⁻³ , p + |p| * 10⁻³ ]
This would be the identity property of addition telling us that any number added to zero is that number (i.e. 6 added to zero is still 6)
Area is equal to length times width. The perimeter (the amount of rope) has to equal twice the length added to twice the width so we're left with:
A = l * w
200 = 2l + 2w
solve for either l or w
l = 100 - w
plug into the area equation to get one equation with two variables
A = w(100 - w)
A = -w^2 + 100w
take the derivative
A' = -2w + 100
set the derivative equal to zero
0 = -2w + 100
2w = 100
w = 50
This is the width that maximizes the area
with a width of 50, the length must also be 50 to have a perimeter of 200
therefore, they can rope up to 50 * 50 = 2500 ft^2
Because of wind chill, they may say that the way it feels is -3, but it was probably much warmer, but later (at 12 degrees) they were probably reporting actually temp.
This is my best guess.
