Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is

A=x^2               .... (1)

where, x is side length.

The length of each side of his square plot is decreasing at the constant rate of 2 feet/year.

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2

It is given that bob currently owns 250,000 square feet of land.

Fist find the length of each side.

A=250000

x^2=250000

Taking square root on both sides.

x=500

Differentiate with respect to t.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}

Substitute x=500 and \frac{dx}{dt}=2 in the above equation.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2(500)(2)

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2000

Farmer bob is losing 2,000 square feet of land per year.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Give the domain and range of the function. Tell whether the relation is a function.
ra1l [238]

The domain is [0,4], as the x-values go from 0 to 4.

The range is [0,4], as the y-values span from 0 to 4.

The relation is a function

- For a relation to be a function, each x-value can have only one, distinct y-value. This is the case for this relation, as each x-input has only one corresponding y output.
