Answer:

120 x 160

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the two ends is x foot per end, and the length of the parallel side is y foot, you can write the following equations:

16x + 12y = 3840

area = x * y

Simplify and rewrite the first and combine with second:

y = 320 - 4/3x

area = 320x - 4/3x²

Now you have a quadratic equation of which you want the maximum.

[calculation omitted]

The top is reached for x = 120 and y=160

The area will then be 19,200 ft²

28 (y - 1/7) = 28y - ?Rewrite, using the distributive property
Irina-Kira [14]

Given:

28(y-\frac{1}{7})=28y\text{ - ?}

To rewrite using distributive property, distribute the 28 to all values inside the parenthesis.

Thus, we have:

\begin{gathered} (28\ast y\text{ )-(28}\ast\frac{1}{7}) \\ =28y\text{ - 4} \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

28(y-\frac{1}{7})=28y\text{ - }4

28y - 4

The system of equations graphed below has how many solutions?
Artist 52 [7]
Answer: C) 0

The lines are parallel. They never cross. To have a solution, the lines need to intersect. Each intersection is a solution. That's why there are no solutions here. The system is inconsistent.

Note how the slopes are both 1/2 while the y intercepts are different. Parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts.

To find the rate of change, find the difference of people at the park at each given hour and divide that by the total number of hours in the given time frame.


Early Time interval:

Hour 1 there was 55 people.

Hour 3 there was 135 people.

The rate of change is 135 - 55 / 3-1 = 80/2 = 40 people per hour.


Late time interval:

Hour 3 had 135 people.

Hour 5 had 175 people.

The rate of change is 175 - 135 / 5-3 = 40/2 = 20 people per hour


20 is less than 40, so the late time interval had the smallest rate change.
