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

Last month, when Joe took his puppy to the veterinarian, the puppy weighed 4.6 pounds. This month, the puppy weighed 5.98 pounds

Percent increase : (new number - original number) / (original number)....then multiply that by 100 to get ur percent.

(5.98 - 4.6) / (4.6) = 1.38/4.6 = 0.3......0.3 x 100 = 30% <==

Can someone help me out ? Don't just guess the answer :(
Monica [59]
1) 2m+6 / m² + 7m - 12  +  (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2(m+3) / (m+4)(m+3)  + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2/(m+4) + (m+2)/(m+4)

= 2+m+2 / (m+4)

= m+4 / m+4

= 1  [ Option A ]

Answer 2) 3/ (x+4)  + 7/ (x-3)

=  3(x-3) + 7(x+4)/ (x² +x - 12)

= 3x-9 + 7x + 28 / (x² +x - 12)

= 10x + 19 / (x² +x - 12)  [ Option A ]

Hope this helps!
