Marquise has 200200200 meters of fencing to build a rectangular garden.
1 answer:
Answer:
2500 Square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the garden area (as a function of its width) as:
The maximum possible area occurs when we maximize the area. To do this, we take the derivative, set it equal to zero and solve for w.
A'(w)=-2w+100
-2w+100=0
-2w=-100
w=50 meters
Since Marquise has 200 meters of fencing to build a rectangular garden,
Perimeter of the proposed garden=200 meters
Perimeter=2(l+w)
2(l+50)=200
2l+100=200
2l=200-100=100
l=50 meters
The dimensions that will yield the maximum area are therefore:
Length =50 meters
Width=50 meters
Maximum Area Possible =50 X 50 =<u>2500 square meters.</u>

Adding Integers
If the numbers that you are adding have the same sign, then add the numbers and keep the sign.
Example:
-5 + (-6) = -11
Adding Numbers with Different Signs
If the numbers that you are adding have different (opposite) signs, then SUBTRACT the numbers and take the sign of the number with the largest absolute value.
Examples:
-6 + 5= -1
12 + (-4) = 8
Subtracting Integers
When subtracting integers, I use one main rule and that is to rewrite the subtracting problem as an addition problem. Then use the addition rules.
When you subtract, you are really adding the opposite, so I use theKeep-Change-Change rule.
The Keep-Change-Change rule means:
Keep the first number the same.
Change the minus sign to a plus sign.
Change the sign of the second number to its opposite.
Example:
12 - (-5) =
12 + 5 = 17
Multiplying and Dividing Integers
The great thing about multiplying and dividing integers is that there is two rules and they apply to both multiplication and division!
Again, you must analyze the signs of the numbers that you are multiplying or dividing.
The rules are:
If the signs are the same, then the answer is positive.
If the signs are different, then then answer is negative.
