Step-by-step explanation:

We have got the lines :

y=ax+b\\y=cx+d

Both lines intercept the x-axis in the point :

I = (i_{1} ,i_{2})

In all point from x-axis the y-component is equal to 0.

I=(i_{1},o)

We replace the I point in the lines equations:

0=a(i_{1})+b \\0=c(i_{1})+d

From the first equation :

0=a(i_{1})+b \\-b=a(i_{1})\\i_{1}=\frac{-b}{a}

From the second equation :

0=c(i_{1})+d\\ -d=c(i_{1})\\i_{1}=\frac{-d}{c}

Then i_{1}=i_{1}

Finally :

\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-d}{c} \\\frac{b}{a}=\frac{d}{c} \\ad=bc

y = ax + b and y = cx + d have the same x-intercept ⇔ad=bc

The function A = 15x - x2, where x is the width in yards, gives the area A of a llama pen in square yards. Make a table using 1/
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The width which gives the greatest area is 7.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an application of differential calculus. Given the area as a function of the width, we simply need to differentiate the function with respect to x and equate to zero which yields; 15-2x=0 since the slope of the graph is zero at the turning points. Solving for x yields, x=7.5 which indeed maximizes the area of the pen
