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.

In the polynomial below, what number should replace the question mark to produce a difference of squares? x2 + ?x - 49
shutvik [7]
We are asked to find unknown or the missing number to complete the polynomial given in the problem which is x² + ?x -49. First, let us equate the number to be equal to zero such as it would become x² + ?x - 49 = 0. Next, we need to find the factors such that it would produce a difference of squares and these two factors are a = +7 and b = -7. Hence, the complete solution is shown below:
(x + 7) (x-7) = 0
perform distribution and multiplication of terms such as shown below:
x² + 7x - 7x - 49 = 0
Combine the same term such as we can either add or subtract +7x to -7x and the result will be equal to 0x.
 x² + 0x - 49 = 0

Therefore, the missing number is 0. The answer is 0 which will result to x² +0x - 49.
