Its 15 boats bcuz...252+288=540 and 540/36= 15 boats :D
Answer:
x = 500 yd
y = 250 yd
A(max) = 125000 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let´s call x the side parallel to the stream ( only one side to be fenced )
y the other side of the rectangular area
Then the perimeter of the rectangle is p = 2*x + 2* y ( but only 1 x will be fenced)
p = x + 2*y
1000 = x + 2 * y ⇒ y = (1000 - x )/ 2
And A(r) = x * y
Are as fuction of x
A(x) = x * ( 1000 - x ) / 2
A(x) = 1000*x / 2 - x² / 2
A´(x) = 500 - 2*x/2
A´(x) = 0 500 - x = 0
x = 500 yd
To find out if this value will bring function A to a maximum value we get the second derivative
C´´(x) = -1 C´´(x) < 0 then efectevly we got a maximum at x = 500
The side y = ( 1000 - x ) / 2
y = 500/ 2
y = 250 yd
A(max) = 250 * 500
A(max) = 125000 yd²
Numbers starting with a 1 and followed by only 0s (such 10, 100, 1,000,10,000, and so forth) are called powers of ten, and they're easy to represent as "exponents". Powers of ten are the result of multiplying 10 times itself any number of times.
