Answer:

The area function is

A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2.

The domain and range of A is (0,15m) and (0, 253.125 m^2].

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of fencing is 90 m.

Let the length and width of each pen be x and y respectively as shown in the figure.

As there are 3 pens, so, the total area,

A= 3 xy \;\cdots (i)

From the figure the total length of fencing is 6x+4y.

Here, for a significant area for the animals, x>0 as well as y>0 as x and y are the sides of ben.

From the given value:

6x+4y=90\;\cdots (ii)

\Rightarrow  y=\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}

Now, from equation (i)

A=3x\left(\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}\right)

\Rightarrow A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2\;\cdots (iii)

This is the required area function in the terms of variable x.

For the domain of area function, from equation (ii)

x=15-\frac{2y}{3}

\Rightarrow x [as y>0]

So, the domain of area function is (0,15m).

For the range of area function:

As x \rightarrow 0 or y\rightarrow 0, then A\rightarrow 0 [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow A>0

Now, differentiate the area function with respect to x .

\frac {dA}{dx}=\frac{135}{2}-9x

Equate \frac {dA}{dx}  to zero to get the extremum point.

\frac {dA}{dx}=0

\Rightarrow \frac{135}{2}-9x=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}

Check this point by double differentiation

\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}=-9

As,  \frac {d^2A}{dx^2}, so, point x=\frac{15}{2} is corresponding to maxima.

Put this value back to equation (iii) to get the maximum value of area function. We have

A=\frac{135}{2}\times \frac {15}{2}-\frac{9}{2}\times \left(\frac {15}{2}\right)^2

\Rightarrow A=253.125 m^2

Hence, the range of area function is (0, 253.125 m^2].

Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?
slamgirl [31]
Y1 is the simplest parabola.  Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4).  This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge.  We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this:  assume that the general equation for a parabola is 
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2.  Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is   y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or    y = (1/4)x - 4.  Take your pick!  Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

Hank spend 76% of his monthly salary and saves $270 find his monthly salary
Dimas [21]

Answer:

f $270= the remaining 24% then you want to do 270/24=11.25 Then you want to multiply that by 76 and you will get $855

So $270+$855=24%+76% So his monthly salary was $1,125

If you are still confused do it in reverse! 1,125/100=11.25

11.25•24=270 & 11.25•76=855

270+855=1,125
