<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The maximum area that they can fence off is</em><em> 6400 ft²</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

Organizers of an outdoor concert will use 320 feet of fencing to fence off a rectangular vip section.

i.e the perimeter of the rectangular section is 320 feet

Let us assume,

x = length of the rectangular section

y = breadth of the rectangular section

Hence,

\Rightarrow 2(x+y)=320\\\\\Rightarrow x+y=160\\\\\Rightarrow y=160-x

Now, we have to find the maximum area for which they can fence that off.

The area of the rectangular section is,

=x\cdot y

So we have to maximize the area function.

\Rightarrow f(x)=x\cdot y

Putting the value of y,

\Rightarrow f(x)=x\cdot (160-x)=160x-x^2

\Rightarrow f'(x)=160-2x

\Rightarrow f''(x)=-2

Finding the critical values,

\Rightarrow f'(x)=0

\Rightarrow 160-2x=0

\Rightarrow 2x=160

\Rightarrow x=80

∵ f"(x) is negative (i.e -2), so for the value of x=80, f(x) or area function will be maximum.

f(x)_{\text{at x=80}}=f(80)=160(80)-(80)^2=12800-6400=6400

Therefore, the maximum area that they can fence off is 6400 ft²

Write the equation g(x) in vertex form of a
DerKrebs [107]

The equation g(x) in vertex form of a  quadratic function for the transformations  whose graph is a  translation 4 units left and 1 unit up of the  graph of f(x) is (x-4)² + 1

Given a  quadratic function for the transformations given  the function f(x) = x²

If the function g(x) of the graph is translated 4 units to the left, the equation becomes (x-4)² (note that we subtracted 4 from the x value

  • Translating the graph 1 unit up will give the final function g(x) as (x-4)² + 1 (We added 1 since it is an upward translation.)

Hence the equation g(x) in vertex form of a  quadratic function for the transformations  whose graph is a  translation 4 units left and 1 unit up of the  graph of f(x) is (x-4)² + 1

What does the variable represent in the equation 6-8p=38
GalinKa [24]

Solving the equation  6-8p=38 we get value of p = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of p in the equation 6-8p=38

Solving to find value of p:

6-8p=38\\Adding\,\,-6\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\6-8p-6=38-6\\-8p=32\\Divide\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,-8\\\frac{-8p}{-8}=\frac{32}{-8}\\p=-4

So, solving the equation  6-8p=38 we get value of p = -4
