Look 4x^2-16 is 0 because 4x^2 is 16 so 16 -16 is 0
The total cost of the least expensive fence would be $800.
To minimize perimeter and maximize area we take factors that are as close to equal as possible. In this case, the closest whole number factors are 200 and 100. Since the north and south faces cost less, we will make those 100 ft and make the more expensive east and west faces 200 ft.
100 ft × $2/ft = $200 per side × 2 sides = $400 for the north and south facing sides.
200 ft × $1/ft = $200 per side × 2 sides = $400 for the east and west facing sides
$400 + $400 = $800
Get into y=mx+b form
m=slope
b=y intercept
solve for y
12x+2y=-60
minus 12x both sides
2y=-12x-60
divide both sides by 2
y=-6x-30
slope is -6 and y intercept is -30
Solution
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Define the converse of a statement
The converse of a statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion.
STEP 2: break down the given statements
Hypothesis: If M is the midpoint of line segment PQ,
Conclusion: line segment PM is congruent to line segment QM
STEP 3: Switch the two statements
Hence, the answer is given as:
If line segment PM is congruent to line segment QM, then M is the midpoint of line segment PQ,
