Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangular piece A = xy

x is the length

y is the width

Perimeter =2x+2y

Given

Perimeter = 3044yds

3044 = 2x+2y

1522 = x+y

x = 1522-y

Substitute into the formula for area

A = xy

A = (1522-y)y

A = 1522y-y²

To maximize the area, dA/dy must be zero

dA/dy = 1522-2y

0 = 1522-2y

2y = 1522

y = 1522/2

y = 761

Since x+y = 1522

X+761 = 1522

X = 761

Dimension is 761yd by 761yd

Area = 761×761 = 579121yd²

Answer:

x = 31

ROS  = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

QOR + ROS = 90 degrees as indicated by the box

28+ 2x = 90

Subtract 28 from each side

2x = 90 -28

2x = 62

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

ROS = 2x = 2*31 = 62

Write a function rule for each table.
Nat2105 [25]
Let's assume that this function is linear. 

Take any 2 of the points and find the slope of the line segment connecting them:

        103 - 80
m = ------------- = 23, meaning $23 per day.  Subtracting $23 from $34 (in the table), we get $11.  Thus, the correct linear relationship is B.

5 /6 / 1/4

= 5/6 * 4

= 20/6

= 3  2/6

= 3 1/3.

Suppose f is a linear function such that f(3 = 5 and f(7 = -4. find the equation for f
NeX [460]
   
\displaystyle\\   
f(3) = 5 \\ 
f(7) = -4\\\\
\texttt{Solve:}\\\\
f(x)=ax+b ~~~\Longleftrightarrow~~~ y=ax+b~~~\Longleftrightarrow~~~ ax+b-y=0\\\\
-------\\
3a+b-5=0~~~(E1)\\ 
7a+b+4=0~~~(E2)\\
---\\
E2 - E1\\
4a+9=0\\
4a =-9\\\\
\boxed{a =  -\frac{9}{4} = -2,25}\\\\
3\times  \Big(-\frac{9}{4}\Big)  + b -5 = 0\\\\
-\frac{27}{4} -5+ b = 0\\\\
\frac{-27-20}{4}  + b = 0\\\\
-\frac{47}{4}  + b = 0\\\\
\boxed{b = \frac{47}{4} = 11,75}
