Hey there!

The absolute value helps because when you the absolute value is the the distance of a number away from 0. Meaning that if your finding distance it will never be negative.

Finding the distance between the two is subtracting one of the numbers from each ordered pair from each other. Whether the number is negative or positive, you always turn it, or leave it into a positive number because distance is always positive.


Hope this helps !

Problema Solution

You have 800 feet of fencing and you want to make two fenced in enclosures by splitting one enclosure in half. What are the largest dimensions of this enclosure that you could build?

Answer provided by our tutors

Make a drawing and denote:


x = half of the length of the enclosure


2x = the length of the enclosure


y = the width of the enclosure


P = 800 ft the perimeter


The perimeter of the two enclosures can be expressed P = 4x + 2y thus


4x + 3y = 800


Solving for y:

y = 800/3 - 4x/3


The area of the two enclosure is A = 2xy.


Substituting y = 800/3 - 4x/3 in A = 2xy we get


A = 2x(800/3 - 4x/3)


A =1600x/3 - 8x^2/3


We need to find the x for which the parabolic function A = (- 8/3)x^2 + (1600/3)x has maximum: 


x max = -b/2a, a = (-8/3), b = 1600/3


x max = (-1600/3)/(2*(-8/3))


x max = 100 ft


y = 800/3 - 4*100/3


y = 133.33 ft


2x = 2*100


2x = 200 ft

Maru [420]
The answer would be 10.19m. If you want to round it of to a less precise measurement it would be 10 m. That is rounding of the decimal value to the ones place. the rule of rounding of is form 6 t0 9 it would add 1 to the nearest place value next to it and 0 - 5 will not.
