The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet
<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>
The given parameter is
Perimeter, P = 520 feet
Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y
One side of the garden is bordered by a river:
So the perimeter is:
P = 2x + y
Substitute P = 520
2x + y = 520
Make y the subject
y = 520 - 2x
The area is
A = xy
Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy
A = x(520 - 2x)
Expand
A = 520x - 2x^2
Differentiate
A' = 520 - 4x
Set to 0
520 - 4x = 0
Rewrite as:
4x= 520
Divide by 4
x= 130
Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x
y = 520 - 2 *130
Evaluate
y = 260
The area is then calculated as:
A = xy
This gives
A = 130 * 260
Evaluate
A = 33800
Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x(6+3)=27, shed have 1 inch left over
I think it might be false, I could be wrong though.
Hopefully that helped! :)
The answer is -14
Explanation:
x - 8 = 2x + 6
We move all term to the left
x - 8 - ( 2x + 6 ) = 0
We get rid of parentheses
x - 2x - 6 - 8 = 0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-1x - 14 = 0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other term to the right
-x = 14
x = 14/-1
x = -14
Answer:
n=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
2(n+5)=-2
distribute
2(n+5)
2xn 2x5
2n+10
2n+10=-2
subtract 10 from both sides
10-10=0
-2-10=-12
2n=-12
divide each side by 2
2n/2=n
-12/2=-6
n=-6
