Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the dimensions of the playground are x and y.

The total amount of the fence used is given and it is 780 ft. In terms of x and y this would be 3x+2y=780 (we add 3x because we want it to be cut in the middle). Therefore,  y= 780/2-3/2x. Now, the total area (A )to be fenced is

A=x*y= x*(390-3/2x)=-3/2 x^2+390x

Calculating the derivative of A and setting it equals to 0 to find the maximum

A'= -3x+390=0

This yields x=130.

Therefore y=780/2-3/2*130=195

Thus, the maximum area is 130*195=25,350ft^2

Which of these describes information that can appear in a consumer’s credit report?

I believe the answer is D. A credit report covers info on loan paying history. I was stuck between b and d but then realized it said the company gave a loan while your own credit history covers what you have paid or loaned. Hope this helps, have a nice day.

How many solutions do you think the equation -10x+3=5x-27 has? Explain. Then, find the solution(s).
deff fn [24]
This will only have one solution because it does not deal with a quadratic. Then to isolate x you need to get the similar terms on different sides by subtracting or adding, Then divide both sides by the number next to x (coefficient).
