Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3*3=9
1*3=3
Yay, derivitives
I'mma ignore that x is the shorter side because I don't know which one has to be shorter yet
we need to find the max area
but with 3 sides
area=LW
let's say the sides are z and y
zy=area
and the relatiionship between them is
hmm,
z+2y=1200
because one side has no fencing
so
z+2y=1200
solve for z
z=1200-2y
sub for z in other
(1200-2y)(y)=area
expand
1200y-2y²=area
take derivitive
1200-4y=dy/dx area
max is where dy/dx goes from positive to negative
solve for where dy/dx=0
1200-4y=0
1200=4y
300=y
at y<300, dy/dx<0
at y>300, dy/dx>0
so at y=300, that is the max
then
z=1200-2y
z=1200-2(300)
z=1200-600
z=600
so then
z=600
y=300
300<600
so the shorter side would be y
so then we see our choices and noticed that
erm
I think it is f(x)=1200x-2x²
takind the derivitive yeilds none of the others
so ya, you are right
2v = <-10, 4>
4u = <-24, 4>
-4u = <24, -4>
-4u + 2v = <24, -4> + <-10, 4> = <14, 0>
So, I'm going to break it down to help you understand it a bit more.
If it starts at (0,-2) and crosses through (1,0) that means it moved to the right once and up twice. Which means, that the slope will be 2. If it were one it would be to the right 1 up one, if it were 4 it would be to the right 1 up 4, and finally if it were 1/2 it would be to the right 2 up 1.
So, your answer is C. or 2.
-109.3-184.9=-294.2 that will be your answer
