Answer:

The width which gives the greatest area is 7.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an application of differential calculus. Given the area as a function of the width, we simply need to differentiate the function with respect to x and equate to zero which yields; 15-2x=0 since the slope of the graph is zero at the turning points. Solving for x yields, x=7.5 which indeed maximizes the area of the pen

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The cost function that represents this scenario is c(x) = 2 + 0.50x .

Option (b) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Laura rents a movie for a flat fee of $2.00 plus an additional $0.50 for each night she keeps the movie.

if x equals the number of nights Laura has the movie.


Than the cost function that represents this scenario .

c(x) =  Flat fee + Cost for  x equals the number of nights Laura has the movie.


c(x) = 2 + x × 0.50

c(x) = 2 + 0.50x

Therefore the cost function that represents this scenario is c (x) = 2 + 0.50x .

Option (b) is correct .
