Step-by-step explanation:









If A=38x-x^2 then
dA/dx=38-2x
d2A/dx2=-2
Since the acceleration, d2A/dx2 is a constant negative, when velocity, dA/dx=0, it will be an absolute maximum for A(x)
dA/dx=0 only when 38=2x, x=19
A(19)=38(19)-19^2
A(19)=722-361
A(19)=361 ft^2
So the maximum possible area is 361 ft^2
(This will always be true as the maximum possible area enclosed by a given amount of material will always be a perfect square...)
For this case we have the following arithmetic sequence:

To write in function form, we apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
We simplify:

Answer:

Option C
4.6 Is the answer I thinkkkkk
You just have to count the boxes between them which is 6
