Let x be the shorter side, and y be the longer side

 

There would be 4 fences along the shorter side, and 2 fences along the longer side

4x + 2y = 800

Rewrite in terms of y:

y = 400 − 2x

 

The area of the rectangular field is

A = x*y

Replace Y with the equation above:

  A = x(400 − 2x)

  A = − 2x^2 + 400x

 

The area is a parabola that opens downward, the maximum area would occur at the parabola vertex.

At the vertex

x = −b/2a

  = −400/[2(−2)]

  = 100

 

y = 400 −2x

y = 400 -2(100)

y = 400-200

y = 200

 

The dimension of the rectangular field that maximize the enclosed area is 100 ft x 200 ft.

What is the gcf of 48m^5n and 81m^2n^2
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

gcf is 3m^2n

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

48m^5n and 81m^2n^2

Firstly, we will find factors of both expression

48m^5n=2\times 2\times2\times 2\times 3\times m^2\times m^3\times n

81m^2n^2=3\times 3\times 3\times 3\times m^2\times n\times n

now, we will find common factors among them

we can see that

For finding gcf, we always find common factors

so,

common terms are 3,m^2 and n

so, gcf is

=3\times m^2\times n

=3m^2n

Solve the system of equations - 8x - 5y = -13 and - 4x – 5y = 11 by<br> combining the equations.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(6,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract them:

-8x - 5y = -13

-4x - 5y = 11

you get

-4x = -24

so x = 6

plug x into the second equation:

-24 - 5y = 11

-5y = 35

y = -7

so your solution is (6,-7).

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

I'm not sure if you mean each person has a car for 2 weeks and travels 500 miles each but if so the rental cost is $2,940.

If it is just one car for all 3 people the rental cost is $980

Step-by-step explanation:

renatl cost = r

weeks = w

miles = m

the equation would be  r = $240w + $1m

and if there are 3 people you mulitply the answer by 3
