Note that this is still a rectangle, and the length of the fencing is still 600 ft.

So the sum of the sides NOT along the river x + x + y = 600, and the area equals xy.

This makes the two equations: 2x + y = 600, and A = xy.

To find the largest area, we need to find A as a function of x or y. I suggest solving the first equation for y and replacing that in the second equation.

y = 600 - 2x. and A(x) = x(600-2x)

We now need to maximize A(x) = 600x - 2x2.

Remember, if x = -b/(2a), we find the x value of the vertex, the y value can be found by substitution.

So, since a = -2, and b = 600, x = -600/(-4) = 150 ft. If x = 150, y = 600 - 2(150) = 300.

So, the dimensions are 150 x 300 and the maximum area = 300(150) = 45,000 ft2

I hope this helps. By the way, there are many variations of this, and they are all similar. For example, you might want to make several pens with two lengths parallel and have three parallel withs inside.

How to I find this? I tried using Pythagorean theorem, but it didn't work
jarptica [38.1K]
The Pythagorean theorem works.

12^2+9^2=c^2
144+81=c^2
225=c^2
15=c

Therefore the perimeter is 12 + 9 + 15 = 36 in. (B)

Solve the equation by factoring 2x^2+7x=4
Softa [21]

Answer:

x = - 4 , x = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

given 2x² + 7x = 4

rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

subtract 4 from both sides

2x² + 7x - 4 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x term, that is

product = 2 × - 4 = - 8 and sum = + 7

The factors are + 8 and - 1

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² + 8x - x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 4) - 1(x + 4) = 0 ( take out the common factor (x + 4) )

(x + 4)(2x - 1) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}
