Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".Then the side parallel to the river is "400-2x".
The formula for Area = width*length
A(x) = x(400-2x)
A(x) = 400x - 2x^2
You have a quadratic with a = -2 and b = 400
Maximum Area occurs where x = -b/2a = -400/(2*-2) = 100 ft. (width)
length = 400-2x = 400-2*100 = 200 ft (length)

thanks for the points
<em><u>Answer: x=-2 *The answer should be the negative sign.*</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac
remove parenthesis
-15x-15*4=-30
15*4=60
-15x-60=-30
add 60 both sides of an equation.
-15x-60+60=-30+60
simplify.
-15x=30
divide by -15 both sides of an equation.
-15x/-15=30/-15
simplify.
30/15=2
x=-2
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following inequality:
You need to solve for "x" in order to find the solution.
The steps are:
1. Add 
to both sides of the inequality:
2. Add 
to both sides:
3. Divide both sides by 
:
Notice that "x" is less than 8. This indicates that 8 is not included in the solution and you must use parentheses.
The solution in Interval notation is:
