Answer:
The maximum possible area of the pasture is 26,450 feet square.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the width of the rectangular area = m ft
and the length of the area = k ft
Also assume: ( one side with k units IS NOT FENCED)
So, the total perimeter of the fencing is:
2 m + k = 460
or, k = 460 - 2m ........ (1)
Now, AREA OF THE RECTANGULAR PORTION = Length x Width = k x m
Put k = 460 - 2m
We get: A = m (460 - 2m)
or, A = 460 m - 2m²
We need to find the maximum for the parabolic function A = 460 m - 2m²
The function has a maximum value as the quotient in front of x^2 is negative: -2 < 0
A (max) = where a = -2, b = 460, c = 0
=
A max = 26,450 sq ft.
The maximum possible area of the pasture is 26,450 feet square.
Answer:
y = x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use rise over run to find the slope, which will get you 1/2 as the slope
The y-intercept is at (0, -5) so put -5 in the equation
