Answer:
- 160 ft (out from the river)
- 320 ft (parallel to the river)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of fence parallel to the river. Then the dimension of perpendicular to the river will be half the remaining fence: (640-x)/2. The total area will be ...
A = x(640-x)/2
This is the equation of a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at x=0 and x=640, so its axis of symmetry is x = (0+640)/2 = 320. That is, the peak of the area curve is found when x=320.
The dimensions of the garden with the largest area are 160 ft wide by 320 ft long, where the long side is the river side.
RemarkIf you don't start exactly the right way, you can get into all kinds of trouble. This is just one of those cases. I think the best way to start is to divide both terms by x^(1/2)
Step OneDivide both terms in the numerator by x^(1/2)
y= 6x^(1/2) + 3x^(5/2 - 1/2)
y =6x^(1/2) + 3x^(4/2)
y = 6x^(1/2) + 3x^2 Now differentiate that. It should be much easier.
Step TwoDifferentiate the y in the last step.
y' = 6(1/2) x^(- 1/2) + 3*2 x^(2 - 1)
y' = 3x^(-1/2) + 6x I wonder if there's anything else you can do to this. If there is, I don't see it.
I suppose this is possible.
y' = 3/x^(1/2) + 6x
y' =

Frankly I like the first answer better, but you have a choice of both.

Answer:
72 +13n = 163
7 nights
Step-by-step explanation:
At 13 pages per night, Mario will read 13n pages in n nights. That plus the pages already read will total 163:
equation: 13n +72 = 163
__
To solve this, we can subtract 72, then divide by the coefficient of n.
13n = 91 . . . . . . subtract 72 from both sides
n = 7 . . . . . . . . divide both sides by n
Mario read 7 nights.
