Question

A daycare has 32 ft of dividers with which to enclose a rectangular play space in a corner of a large room. The sides against the wall require no partition. Suppose the play space is x feet long. Express the area A of the play space as a function of x. A(x)=

Answer 1

Answer:

A=x(32-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

for  a 32ft divider, e need to determine the length of the sides of the rectangular space. but since the length and breadth gives 32ft, we can express the side as

breadth= b,

length=x

x+b=32

b=32-x,

hence the area can be expressed as

A=l*x

A=x(32-x) unit square

the area  expressed as a function of x is giving below

A(x)=x|(32-x)
