A rancher has 800 feet of fencing to put around a rectangular field and then subdivide the field into 3 identical smaller rectan

gular plots by placing two fences parallel to one of the field's shorter sides. Find the dimensions that maximize the enclosed area. Write your answers as fractions reduced to lowest terms

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.

How can estimating the quotient help you check that your answer to a division problem is reasonable
kap26 [50]
Round ur quotient and the divsor like 100 divide by 9... would be about 11 and 9 is about 10 and 11 is about 10 so 10 times 10 is one hundred ao the quotient is reasonable

<h3>Answer:  -1</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope of this given line.

The two points on here are (0,-3) and (3,0)

Apply the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0-(-3))/(3-0)

m = (0+3)/(3-0)

m = 3/3

m = 1

The slope of the given line is 1. The negative reciprocal of this is -1, which is the perpendicular slope.

Side Note: Any two perpendicular lines always have their slope multiply to -1, as long as neither line is vertical.
