It is given in the question , that Simon has 160 meters of fencing to build a rectangular garden. the garden's area (in square meters) as a function of the garden's width w (in meters) is modeled by

A(w) = -w(w-80)
\\
A(w) = -w^2 + 80w

Which represents parabola and the parabola is maximum at its vertex, that is

w = -\frac{b}{2a} = - \frac{80}{2} = 40 meters

Therefore the width is 40 meters and the area is

A(40) = -40(40-80) = -40*-40 = 1600 meter ^2

Simon has 160 meters of fencing to build a rectangular garden. the garden's area (in square meters) as a function of the garden's width www (in meters) is modeled by a(w)=-w(w-80) what is the maximum area possible?


Solution:


Let width of the rectangular garden=w


Perimeter of the rectangular garden=2(length+width)


160=2(length+w)


Divide by 2 on both sides


80=length+w


So, Length= 80-w


So, Area of rectangular garden= Length* Width


Area, A(w)=(80-w)(w)


Area, A(w)=-w²+ 80 w


Area is a quadratic equation. And, quadratic equation makes a parabola.


For the maximum area, We need to find the vertex of the parabola.


The formula for x-coordinate of the vertex=\frac{-b}{2a}


x-coordinate of vertex=\frac{-(80)}{2(-1)}


x-coordinate of vertex=40


So, Width= 40 meters


Length=80-w=80-40=40 meters


Maximum area possible=Length* Width=40*40=1600 square meters

Solve this system using matrices:
sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is one which may be written in the form

a11x1 + a12x2 + · · · + a1nxn = b1 (1)

a21x1 + a22x2 + · · · + a2nxn = b2 (2)

.

am1x1 + am2x2 + · · · + amnxn = bm (m)

Here, all of the coefficients aij and all of the right hand sides bi are assumed to be known constants. All of the

xi

’s are assumed to be unknowns, that we are to solve for. Note that every left hand side is a sum of terms of

the form constant × x

Solving Linear Systems of Equations

We now introduce, by way of several examples, the systematic procedure for solving systems of linear

equations.

Here is a system of three equations in three unknowns.

x1+ x2 + x3 = 4 (1)

x1+ 2x2 + 3x3 = 9 (2)

2x1+ 3x2 + x3 = 7 (3)

We can reduce the system down to two equations in two unknowns by using the first equation to solve for x1

in terms of x2 and x3

x1 = 4 − x2 − x3 (1’)

1

and substituting this solution into the remaining two equations

(2) (4 − x2 − x3) + 2x2+3x3 = 9 =⇒ x2+2x3 = 5

(3) 2(4 − x2 − x3) + 3x2+ x3 = 7 =⇒ x2− x3 = −1

How many feet long is the shadow of a 15-foot flagpole if a 5-foot woman standing at the base of the flagpole has a shadow that
Vikentia [17]

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of woman = 5 foot

Shadow of woman = 6 feet

Ratio of height to shadow = 5:6

Shadow of flagpole = 15 foot

Height of flagpole = x

Ratio of height to shadow = x:15

Using proportion;

Ratio of height to shadow :: Ratio of height to shadow

5:6::x:15\\

Product of mean = Product of extreme

6*x=15*5\\6x=75

Dividing both sides by 6

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{75}{6}\\x=12.5

The height of flagpole is 12.5 feet.
