Answer:
1250 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the length of the side perpendicular to the creek, then the third side is (100 -2x) = 2(50 -x). The area is the product of length and width:
A = x(2)(50-x)
We observe that this is a quadratic function with zeros at x=0 and x=50. The vertex (maximum) of a quadratic function is on the line of symmetry, halfway between the zeros. The value of x there is (0 +50)/2 = 25.
Then the maximum area is ...
A = (25)(2)(50 -25) = 1250 . . . . square feet

<em>Additional comment</em>
Note that half the length of the fence is used in one direction (parallel to the creek), and half is used in the other direction (perpendicular to the creek). This 50/50 split is the generic solution to all sorts of rectangular corral problems, with or without a creek, with or without internal partitions.
Half the fence is perpendicular to the other half. (If the costs are different in different directions, then the cost is what is split 50/50.)
Answer:
10/6
Step-by-step explanation:
all you have to do is divide x2 or 5 in this case - x2 or -5 with y2 or 3 - y1 or 3 so it would be
(5--5)/(3--3)
and 2 negatives are a positive so it would turn to
5+5/3+3 or 10/6
please rate 5 stars i would really appreciate it
Answer:
365 degrees :)
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a multiple of 5, but with no zeros, so that means the ones place is 5. The hundreds place is two less than 5, so that's 3. And the tens place is two times the 3, so that gives you 365!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of ice cream
we know that
Solve for x
Divide by 5 both sides
therefore
The maximum number of ice cream is 6
15 1/3 = 33 1/3% of what number...
46/3 = .3333x
(46/3) / 0.3333 = x
46/3 * 1/0.3333 = x
46/0.9999 = x
46 = x <===
