A school wishes to enclose its rectangular playground using 480 meters of fencing.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Part a) $A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2$

Part b) The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part a) Find a function that gives the area A(x) of the playground (in square meters) in terms of x

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular playground is given by

$P=2(L+W)$

we have

$P=480\ m\\L=x\ m$

substitute

$480=2(x+W)$

solve for W

$240=x+W\\W=(240-x)\ m$

Find the area of the rectangular playground

The area is given by

$A=LW$

we have

$L=x\ m\\W=(240-x)\ m$

substitute

$A=x(240-x)\\A=-x^2+240x$

Convert to function notation

$A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2$

Part b) What side length x gives the maximum area that the playground can have?

we have

$A(x)=-x^2+240x$

This function represent a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the length that give the maximum area that the playground can have

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

$A(x)=-x^2+240x$

Factor -1

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x)$

Complete the square

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x+120^2)+120^2$

$A(x)=-(x^2-240x+14,400)+14,400$

$A(x)=-(x-120)^2+14,400$

The vertex is the point (120,14,400)

therefore

The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) What is the maximum area that the playground can have?

we know that

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area

The vertex is the point (120,14,400) -----> see part b)

therefore

The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Verify

$x=120\ m$

$W=(240-120)=120\ m$

The playground is a square

$A=120^2=14,400\ m^2$

What is the missing pattern 7, 11, 2, 18, -7

Alexxx [7]

The missing pattern behind the sequence 7, 11, 2, 18, -7 is described by the formula $n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}$ , equivalent to the recurrence formula $a_{n+1} = a_{n} + (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}$ .

<h3>What is the missing element in a sequence?</h3>

A sequence is a set of elements which observes at least a defined rule. In this question we see a sequence which follows this rule:

$n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}$ (1)

Now we prove that given expression contains the pattern:

n = 0

7

n = 1

7 + (- 1)² · 2² = 7 + 4 = 11

n = 2

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² = 11 - 9 = 2

n = 3

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² = 2 + 16 = 18

n = 4

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² + (- 1)⁵ · 5² = 18 - 25 = - 7

The missing pattern behind the sequence 7, 11, 2, 18, -7 is described by the formula $n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}$ , equivalent to the recurrence formula $a_{n+1} = a_{n} + (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}$ .

The graph shows how the length of a buildings shadow at a certain time of day is related to the height of the building.

Artyom0805 [142]

A. the graph represents a relation because it contains ordered pairs (x,y). It is also a function because there are no repeating x values.

B. (0,0) (8,6)
slope = (6 - 0 ) / (8 - 0) = 6/8 = 3/4
so ur equation is : y = 3/4x or f(x) = 3/4x <===

C. the variable x represents the height of the building and the variable y (or f(x)) represents the total length of the shadow

The sum of -7.68 and it’s additive inverse is??

Readme [11.4K]

The answer is 0. the additive inverse of a negative number is the same number but positive. to find the sum means to add them together. for example take 2 and -2. 2 is the additive inverse of -2. if you add 2+-2 the answer comes out to 0
