If the farmer has 250 feet of fencing to create a rectangular pen, define a function f that expresses the area of the field (mea

sured in square feet) as a function of the width of the side of the field w (measured in feet). What is the maximum area possible?

Answer:

Maximum area possible

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²

Dimensions:

a  = 62,5  ft

w  = 62,5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangular fencing    P  =  250 feet

And sides of the rectangle  a  and  w (width of rectangle)

Then

A =  a*w

2a  + 2w  = 250       ⇒  a  =  (250 -2w)/ 2    ⇒  a = 125 - w

f(w)  =  (125  - w ) *w        f(w)  = 125w - w²  

Taking derivatives both sides of the equation

f´(w)   =  125  - 2w              f´(w)   = 0           125  - 2w = 0

w = 125/2

w = 62,5 ft            ⇒  a = 125 - 62,5

a = 62,5 ft

f(max)  = ( 62,5)²

f(max)  = 3906,25 ft²

Can two different numbers have the same absolute value? If yes, give an example. If no, explain why not
zalisa [80]


If u wanna go by a technical term then yes, it can. The positive and negative side of a number. 4 example, -5. It's absolute value is 5. Positive 5's absolute value is 5 as well.

Now if u don't wanna be technical and don't want to use negative numbers, then no, it cannot.

The graph shows the distance Kendrick walks in different lengths of time.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

1) 5

2) 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached below.

The x-axis represents the time in hours and y-axis represents the distance in kilometers.

The first question asks how many kilometers, does Kendrick walk per hour. The straight line represents the distance traveled at various amounts of time.

The point marked on the graph is against time = 1 hour and Distance = 5 km. So this shows:

Kendrick walks 5 kilometers in 1 hour.

In next part, we have to find how much time Kendrick takes to walk 1 kilometer.

Since, we know that:

Kendrick walks 5 kilometers in time = 1 hour

Dividing both sides by 5, we can write:

Kendrick walks 1 kilometer in time = 1/5 hour = 0.2 hour

So, Kendrick takes 0.2 hours to walk 1 kilometer.

I hate finding functions please help!!!
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

1.a. not a function

1.b. function

1.c. function

1.d. not a function

1.e. not a function

1.f. not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

1.a.

The arrows from x to y show that the ordered pairs of this function are:

(1, 4), (1, 5), (0, 7), (1, 6), (2, 5).

Since the x-coordinate 1 is used in two different ordered pairs, (1, 4) and (1, 5), this relation is not a function.

1.b.

Each x-coordinate is used only once, so this relation is a function.

1.c.

All x-coordinates are different. Function.

1.d.

Two ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate. Not a function.

1.e.

Two ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate. Not a function.

1.f.

Two ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate. It does not pass the vertical line test. Not a function.
