There are 2 short sides x and 1 long side y.
x+x+y=1,800
2x+y=1,800
y=1,800-2x
The area of the rectangle is A=x(1,800-x).
A is a function with variable x. Moreover it is a quadratic (second degree) function.
The graph of the function is a parabola which opens downwards, because the signs of the leading coefficients of the factors, multiply to minus:
(x)(-x)=-x^2.
This means that the highest point of the parabola, is its vertex V(h,k), so the function takes its largest value for x=h.
The roots of A=x(1,800-x) are x=0 and x=1,800, thus the x coordinate of the vertex, must be the midpoint of 0 and 1,800, that is 900.
Answer:
A=x(1,800-x)
largest area is when x=900

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! For ease of calculations, we can identify the time it took for the weight to bounce back to the other direction, then the other, and then back to its original position by looking at the time it took for the weight to change from 0 to 25 to 0 to -25 then back to 0. This is one whole cycle of the weight.
By the time the weight first reached zero, 1.5 seconds has passed. By the third time it got to zero again, 7.5 seconds has passed. Therefore, one whole cycle of the weight is 7.5-1.5 = 6.0 seconds.
ANSWER: One whole cycle of the weight took 6 seconds.
