Let x be the length and y be the width2x + 2y = 40x + y = 20change that into y = mx + b formy= 20 – x
Area =xy = x (20-x) = 20x - x^2Area=-x^2+20xcomplete the square:Area=-(x^2 – 20x + 100) +100=-(x - 10)^2 + 100This is an calculation of a parabola that opens downward with vertex at (10,100), which means maximum area of 100 happens when x, the length=10)Dimensions of the rectangle with maximum area? 10 yds. by 10 yds., a square.

A savings account accrues interest at a rate of 3.0% yearly. If someone opens an account with $2,500, how much money would the a

Dmitriy789 [7]

To answer the question above we first need to know how much is the interest per year. In equation, 3% of $2500 is 75. 75 per year in 4 years is 300. So add $300 to the principal amount, the money after 4 years would be $2800.

For f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=(x^2)-6, find (f+g)(x).

Anon25 [30]

$f(x)=3x+1;\ g(x)=x^2-6\\\\(f+g)(x)=(3x+1)+(x^266)=3x+1+x^2-6=x^2+3x+(1-6)\\\\=\boxed{x^2+3x-5}$
