Answer:

Part a) A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2

Part b) The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part a) Find a function that gives the area A(x) of the playground (in square meters) in terms of x

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular playground is given by

P=2(L+W)

we have

P=480\ m\\L=x\ m

substitute

480=2(x+W)

solve for W

240=x+W\\W=(240-x)\ m

<u><em>Find the area of the rectangular playground</em></u>

The area is given by

A=LW

we have

L=x\ m\\W=(240-x)\ m

substitute

A=x(240-x)\\A=-x^2+240x

Convert to function notation

A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2

Part b) What side length x gives the maximum area that the playground can have?

we have

A(x)=-x^2+240x

This function represent a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the length that give the maximum area that the playground can have

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

A(x)=-x^2+240x

Factor -1

A(x)=-(x^2-240x)

Complete the square

A(x)=-(x^2-240x+120^2)+120^2

A(x)=-(x^2-240x+14,400)+14,400

A(x)=-(x-120)^2+14,400

The vertex is the point (120,14,400)

therefore

The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) What is the maximum area that the playground can have?

we know that

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area

The vertex is the point (120,14,400) -----> see part b)

therefore

The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Verify

x=120\ m

W=(240-120)=120\ m

The playground is a square

A=120^2=14,400\ m^2

System OT<br> W + b =13<br> 6.5w + 2b = 57.5
mixer [17]

Answer:   w = 7,  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:  Solve by substitution

W + b = 13

rewrite as   b = 13 - w  and substitute that value for b in the second equation

6.5w + 2b = 57.5  Then solve for w

6.5w + 2(13-w) = 57.5 . Distribute

6.5w + 26 - 2w = 57.5 .  Subtract 26 from both sides. Combine like terms and simplify

6.5w - 2w = 57.5 - 26

4.5w = 31.5  Divide both sides by 4.65

w = 7 . Substitute 7 for w in the first equation and solve for b

7 + b = 13 . Subtract 7 from both sides

b = 6

Answer:

1+1+2

1/10x10=1

1/10x10=1

(1/10x10)+(1/10x10)+2

or...

0.5x2=1

0.5x2=1

(0.5x2)+(0.5x2)=2
