Answer:

Dimensions :

x (the longer side, only one side with fence )   =  90  ft

y ( the shorter side two sides with fence )        =  45  ft

Total fence used   45 * 2  +  90    =  180 ft

A(max)  =  

Step-by-step explanation: If a farmer has 180 ft of fencing to encloses a rectangular area with fence in three sides and the river on one side, the farmer surely wants to have a maximum enclosed area.

Lets call "x" one the longer side  ( only one of the longer side of the rectangle will have fence, the other will be along the river and won´t need fence. "y" will be the shorter side

Then we have:

P = perimeter  =  180  =  2y  +  x        ⇒   y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2        (1)

And   A (r)   =  x * y

A(x)   =  x  *  ( 180 - x ) /2       ⇒   A(x)   = (180/2) *x   -  x² / 2

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation :

A´(x)   =  90   -  x    

Then if    A´(x)   =  0   ⇒        90   -  x    =  0     ⇒   x  =  90 ft

and from :       y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2     ⇒     y  =  90/2

y  =  45  ft

And

A(max)  =  90 * 45    =  4050  ft²

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

Answer:

(2, 22 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 7x + 8 → (1)

y = x + 20 → (2)

Substitute y = 7x + 8 into (2)

7x + 8 = x + 20 ( subtract x from both sides )

6x + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in (2) for corresponding value of y

y = x + 20 = 2 + 20 = 22

Solution is (2, 22 )

Consider the graphs of the functions f(x) and g(x)...
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

As per graphs, f(x) is a quadratic function and g(x) is an exponential function.

At x = 1 both the functions have same value of 6.

At x > 1 the exponential function has a greater rate of growth.

The answer is g(x).
