A farmer is constructing a rectangular pen with one additional fence across its width. Find the maximum area that can be enclose

konstantin123 [22]

The maximum area of the pen is the highest area the pen can have

The maximum area is 16200 square yards

Let the dimension be x and y.

So, the perimeter is given as:

$\mathbf{P = 360}$

Because it has one additional fence, the perimeter is calculated as:

$\mathbf{2x + y = 360}$

Make y the subject

$\mathbf{y = 360 - 2x}$

The area is calculated as:

$\mathbf{A = xy}$

Substitute $\mathbf{y = 360 - 2x}$

$\mathbf{A = x(360 -2x)}$

Expand

$\mathbf{A = 360x -2x^2}$

Differentiate

$\mathbf{A' = 360 -4x}$

Set to 0

$\mathbf{360 -4x = 0}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{4x = 360}$

Divide both sides by 4

$\mathbf{x = 90}$

Substitute 90 for x in $\mathbf{A = 360x -2x^2}$

$\mathbf{A = 360 \times 90 - 2 \times 90^2}$

$\mathbf{A = 16200}$

Hence, the maximum area is 16200 square yards

Use the difference of squares theorem to find the solution of the following equation:

Svet_ta [14]

V^2 = 252
v^2 - 252 = 0
(v - sqrt252)(v + sqrt252) = 0

so the 2 solutions are sqrt252 and - sqrt252

= 15.87 and -15.87 to nearest hundredth.

3(2x + 1) - 2x = 10<br><br>what is x?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Firstly, foil 3(2x + 1): $6x+3-2x=10$

Next, combine like terms: $4x+3=10$

Next, subtract 3 on both sides of the equation: $4x=7$

Lastly, divide both sides by 4 and <u>your answer will be $x=\frac{7}{4}\ \textsf{or}\ 1.75$ </u>
