The answer to this question:
<span>north and south sides 16ft
east and west sides 8ft
</span>
In this question, the east and west fencing cost is $4/ft but the south and north fencing cost is $2/ft. The cost is cheaper for fencing north and south side which cost half of the east and west side. The perimeter is made by adding the south, north, east and west side.
If x = north and south fencing and y= is east and west side, then you can get this equation

cost= (south+north) * $2 + (east+west)*$4  
128=(x+x) * 2 + (y+ y) * 4
128= 4x + 8y
32= x+ 2y
x= 32-2y

The area is count by multiplying the width and length, which was x and y in this question. The formula should be:
area= length * width
area= x * y
area= (32-2y) * y
area= 32y - 2y^2

Then, you need to find the value of y needed for the maximum area.
32y- 2y^2 
32 - 2*2y=0
32= 4y
y= 8

If y=8 then
x= 32-2y
x= 32- 16= 16

Explain how to solve -4(1.75 + x) =18
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

first change any decimal to a whole. -4(175+x)=18. Then times -4 by 175 and x, -700+ 4x =18. Then add +700 to -700 which equals just 4x ,then add +700 to 18, which is 4x = 718. then divide both sides by 4 and estimate. x= 180

f(x) =  -  {x}^{3}  -  {x}^{2}  + 1

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

f( - 1) =  -  ({ - 1})^{3} -  ({ - 1})^{2} + 1 \\

f( - 1) =  - ( - 1) - (1) + 1

f( - 1) = 1  - 1 + 1

f( - 1) = 2 - 1

f( - 1) = 1
