Answer:
(d) see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each grid square is 1/4 unit. the coordinates in terms of grid squares are ...
A(0.50, -1.25) ⇒ (0.50/.25, -1.25/.25) = (2, -5) . . . grid squares
Point A is located 2 squares right and 5 squares down on the grid. This matches choice D.
Let x represent the length of the side of the pen that is parallel to the barn. Then the area (y) will be
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
This describes a downward opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=300. The vertex (maximum) will be found at the value of x that is halfway between those, x = 150.
For that value of x, the pen area is
.. y = 150(300 -150)/2 = 150^2/2 = 11,250 . . . . . square feet.
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
This describes a downward opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=300. The vertex (maximum) will be found at the value of x that is halfway between those, x = 150.
For that value of x, the pen area is
.. y = 150(300 -150)/2 = 150^2/2 = 11,250 . . . . . square feet.
