Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Simplify the right side of the equation
we know that
so
The expression is
therefore
x plus b over 2 times a equals plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c, all over 2 times a
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.
