Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: A farmer has
of fencing to construct a rectangular pen up against the straight side of a barn, using the barn for one side of the pen. The length of the barn is
.
TO FIND: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area that can be enclosed under these conditions.
SOLUTION:
Let the length of rectangle be
and
perimeter of rectangular pen 


area of rectangular pen 

putting value of 


to maximize 



but the dimensions must be lesser or equal to than that of barn.
therefore maximum length rectangular pen 
width of rectangular pen 
Maximum area of rectangular pen 
Hence maximum area of rectangular pen is
and dimensions are 
Answer:
The answer is -15.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2x - 1
2. 2(-7) - 1
3. (-14) - 1
4. -15
By plugging in our x value, we are able to use PEMDAS to multiply 2 and the value of x and then, we subtract 1 from the value we got from step 3 to get -15.

notice above, all we did, was isolate the "recurring part" to the right of the decimal point, so the repeating 09, ended up on the right of it.
now, let's say, "x" is a variable whose value is the recurring part, therefore then

now, the idea behind the recurring part is that, we then, once we have it all to the right of the dot, we multiply it by some power of 10, so that it moves it "once" to the left of it, well, the recurring part is 09, is two digits, so let's multiply it by 100 then,

and you can check that in your calculator.
Dividing by a half is the same as multiplying by two. 3/4 multiplied by 2 is

or, in improper fraction form

or, in decimal form, 1.5
