Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the fence = x
Let the width of the fence = y
Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by 2(L+B) , but the farmer is using the side of the barn on one side of the rectangle , so the perimeter equation is
x + 2y = 48
Area = xy
If we substitute the perimeter equation so that the area is only in terms of y.
Area = (48 - 2y)y
Area = 48y - 2
Now just find the vertex of the parabola
Area = -2 + 48y
A = -2 + 48
Differentiate A with respect to y
= -4y + 48
equate it to zero , we have
-4y + 48 = 0
4y = 48
y = 12
Substitute y = 12 into equation 1, we have
x = 48 - 2y
x = 48 - 2(12)
x = 48 - 24
x = 24
Therefore the dimensions of the garden are 24 by 12
The maximum area is 288 square unit
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For one line to be perpendicular to another, their slopes must multiply to -1. So, we really want the line with slope that passes through the point
.
Recall the point-slope form of a line. If you have a point and a slope
, the line through that point with the given slope is
. Plugging in our given point and slope gives our line:
(point-slope form).
We can convert this line to slope-intercept form, the most common form by expanding the right side and adding to get
by itself:
