Let each side perpendicular to the wall be x
The parallel to the wall will be 320-2x
the area will be:
A(x)=x(320-2x)
A(x)=320x-2x^2
This is a quadratic with a =-2 and b=320

Maximum area will occur where x=-b/2a
=-320/(-2*2)
=80 ft
thus the width will be 80 ft and the length will be:
length=320-2*80=160 ft

Which of the following is an example of a function?
Leokris [45]
A. Not a function since we have the points (-1,0) and (-1,3). The x value repeats while the y values are different. Plugging in x = -1 leads to multiple outputs, which shows we don't have a function. To get a better visual, you can plot the points. You'll see that the points form a vertical line. Therefore, this graph fails the vertical line test. 

B. This is a function. All of the x values are different. The points, when graphed, pass the vertical line test. In other words, its impossible to draw a vertical line through any two points on the graph. Any x input here leads to exactly one y output.

C. This is not a function. Like choice A, we have repeated x values. In this case we have (4,6) and (4,7). The x value x = 4 repeats itself leading to multiple outputs y = 6 and y = 7

D. This is also not a function. The x value x = 0 repeats itself. The graph fails the vertical line test.

Answer: Choice B

gavmur [86]

namely how many times does ¼ go into 2, well that'd be 2 ÷ ¼,


\bf \cfrac{\quad 2\quad }{\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{2}{1}\quad }{\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{1}\implies 8
