Answer:
a) see below
b) 40x20 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Write down what you know:
- The area of the enclosure is length*width, so

- The length of the fencing is 80 meters, so

Now we have to combine these two equations above, and get rid of y in the process.
First rewrite the second as:

Then substitute for y in the first:

b) To maximize A, find the zero of the first derivative:

So y = (80-40)/2 = 20 meters.
The correct answer is Choice A.
This is an example of an exponential equation, so we need the formula

.
The a value is the starting value of 100. The b value must be a decimal lower than 1 because it is decreases.
If you substitute in 8 for x, you will see that the output is about 50 (half of 100).

umm here..i don't know if it's right but there....you can download mathpapa and goodluck
I would say 95/6 because you multiply 5 and 15 and turn it into an improper fractions
So the original lawn has an area
24 × 32 = 768 the new lawn will have area 425
this means the area of the sidewalk will be 768-425=343
now the sidewalk is a certain width of we draw it out and label it x we see the lawn has an area of

use the quadratic formula to solve. then you will know how wide the sidewalk is. I will attach picture
