Answer:
Rectangular area as a function of x : A(x) = 200*x + 2*x²
A(max) = 5000 m²
Dimensions:
x = 50 m
l = 100 m
Step-by-step explanation:
"x" is the length of the perpendicular side to the wall of the rectangular area to be fenced, and we call "l" the other side (parallel to the wall of the barn) then:
A(r) = x* l and the perimeter of the rectangular shape is
P = 2*x + 2*l but we won´t use any fencing material along the wll of the barn therefore
P = 2*x + l ⇒ 200 = 2*x + l ⇒ l = 200 - 2*x (1)
And the rectangular area as a function of x is:
A(x) = x * ( 200 - 2*x) ⇒ A(x) = 200*x + 2*x²
Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:
A´(x) = 200 - 4*x ⇒ A´= 0
Then 200 - 4*x = 0 ⇒ 4*x = 200 ⇒ x = 50 m
We find the l value, plugging the value of x in equation (1)
l = 200 - 2*x ⇒ l = 200 - 2*50 ⇒ l = 100 m
A(max) = 100*50
A(max) = 5000 m²
48 of the pizzas would be cheese because you divide 80 by 5 and get 16 then multiply that by 3 to get 48
Answer:
The dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be:
W: width of the yard.
L:length.
Now, we can write the equation of that relates length and width:
(Equation #1)
The area of the yard can be expressed as (using equation #1 into #2):
(Equation #2)
Since the Area of the yard is
, then equation #2 turns into:

Now, we rearrange this equation:

We can divide the equation by 5 :

We need to find the solution for this quadratic. Let's find the factors of 160 that multiplied yields -160 and added yields -12. Let's choose -20 and 8, since
and
. The equation factorised looks like this:

Therefore the possible solutions are W=20 and W=-8. We discard W=-8 since width must be a positive number. To find the length, we substitute the value of W in equation #1:

Therefore, the dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.
-2.5 and 4
You can get this by factoring to the equation (2x + 5)(x - 4)
