The answer is: A. 20.3
The explanation is shown below:
1. By definition, the sum of the length of the strings (The length of the blue segment and the length of the red segment) is equal to the length of the major axis (The black segment).
2. Based on this, you can write the following expression, where
is the length of the blue segment:

3. Now, you must solve for
, as following:


4. Therefore, the answer is the option A.
Answer:
X = 9
okay If I'm wrong sry what's 9x3 it's 45 right ( me not using a caluctalter ) ( I didn't even spell that Right lol ) but anyways it's X=9
Answer:
= - 3n
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms, that is
- 6 - (- 3) = - 9 - (- 6) = - 12 - (- 9) = - 3
This indicate the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 3 and d = - 3 , thus
= - 3 - 3(n - 1) = - 3 - 3n + 3 = - 3n
The n th term is - 3n
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the costs we can form an equation:

and fencing is triangular such that the area enclosed can be written as:

- First need to convert the above equation so that it is only in terms of one variable. [either x or y]
To make the equation only in terms of
we can substitute
from Eq(A) i.e,
, to Eq(B)

simplify


- Now, in order to find the maximum area enclosed we can find
and equate it zero.




we have the length of one dimension: specifically, the lower fence will be 
we can use this value of
to find the corresponding value of
. From Eq(A)




the length of the left fence will be 
- The enclosed area by the fence will be



Hence the maximum area that can enclosed by the fences provided the costs will be 
- You can even check the cost of the dimensions whether they all add up to $520 or not.
Use Eq(A)


and indeed it does!
