One field is 25 + 45 + 25 + 45 = 140 feet
Second field is 40 + 60 + 40 + 60 = 200 feet.
Therefore, all together, the two fields are 340 feet in perimeter together
First,
We are dealing with parabola since the equation has a form of,
Here the vertex of an up - down facing parabola has a form of,
The parameters we have are,
Plug them in vertex formula,
Plug in the into the equation,
We now got a point parabola vertex with coordinates,
From here we emerge two rules:
- If then vertex is max value
- If then vertex is min value
So our vertex is minimum value since,
Hope this helps.

X=hours of plan A
y=hours of plan B
wed: 5x+6y=12
thu: 3x+2y=6
so
5x+6y=12 and
3x+2y=6
we can eliminate y's by multiplying 2nd equation by -3 and adding to first equation
-9x-6y=-18
<u>5x+6y=12 +</u>
-4x+0y=-6
-4x=-6
divid both sides by -4
x=-6/-4
x=3/2
x=1.5
sub back
3x+2y=6
3(1.5)+2y=6
4.5+2y=6
2y=1.5
y=0.75
Plan A=1.5 hours
Plan B=0.75 hours
-6 -8=-14C. When you subtract from a negative number the product will be smaller than when you started. Sometimes it helps to draw a number line and count that way.
